The phrase "manic pixie dream girl" (MPDG) was coined by film critic Nathan Rabin in 2007 after reviewing the movie Elizabethtown. He used it to describe a quirky, whimsical female character who exists mainly to inspire the male protagonist to embrace life, often without much depth or personal development of her own. In slang and pop culture, a manic pixie dream girl refers to a young woman who is eccentric, free-spirited, and emotionally expressive, often portrayed through colorful fashion and an upbeat personality. The term is usually critical, pointing out a shallow character trope in movies and literature where a woman's role revolves around helping a man grow, rather than having her own story.
