pixie

manic pixie dream boy

In film and literature, a male character who is depicted as a cute, quirky free spirit, and who is used solely or primarily to be the love interest of and further the personal growth of the (often disillusioned or depressed) female protagonist, rather than being a fully realized character. The term is a male equivalent of the more common term "manic pixie dream girl." I don't know if I agree with the assertion that Augustus Waters is a manic pixie dream boy.

manic pixie dream girl

In film and literature, a female character, depicted as a cute, quirky free spirit, who is used solely to be the love interest of and further the personal growth of the (often disillusioned or depressed) male protagonist, rather than being a fully realized character. The term was coined by the film critic Nathan Rabin to describe Kirsten Dunst's character in the 2005 film Elizabethtown. It is sometimes abbreviated as "MPDG." Natalie Portman's character in "Garden State" is often considered a manic pixie dream girl.
