Manic Pixie Dream Girl (MPDG) is a stock character type in films. Film critic Nathan Rabin, who coined the term after observing Kirsten Dunst's character in Elizabethtown (2005), describes the MPDG as "that bubbly, shallow cinematic creature that exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures." MPDGs are said to help their men without pursuing their own happiness, and such characters never grow up; thus, their men never grow up.
The "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" has been compared to another stock character, the "Magical Negro," a black character who seems to exist only to provide spiritual or mystical help to the white savior protagonist. In both cases, the stock character has no discernible inner life, and usually only exists to provide the protagonist some important life lessons.
Examples
MPDGs are usually static characters who have eccentric personality quirks and are unabashedly girlish. They invariably serve as the romantic interest for a (most often brooding or depressed) male protagonist. An example is Natalie Portman's character in the movie Garden State (2004), written and directed by Zach Braff. In his review of Garden State, Roger Ebert also described this kind of rather unbelievable "movie creature" as "completely available" and "absolutely desirable."
Dream Girl (Odia:ଡ୍ରିମ୍ ଗାର୍ଲ) is a 2009 Indian Oriya film under Prasad Productions (P) Ltd., directed by Ashok Pati. This film is a remake of a super hit Telugu film "Bommarillu" which was later on made in Tamil and Bengali languages Bhalobasa Bhalobasa.
Synopsis
The story is about a boy and his family. The story is about all the fathers, all the relations, the so-called generation gap, and especially about a dream girl, who has changed the boy’s life. The story can be treated as a moral for each and every family in an entertaining way.
When a baby is born and learns to walk, his father holds his hand and teaches him to walk. But what will be the situation if the father will not leave the hand even after 24 years? This is the situation of the boy in this story. He wants freedom in his life and wants to live by his own choice, but he always has to accept his father’s decision as his one and only choice. He is bent on marrying a girl of his own choice, and how successful he, it is depicted in the movie.
Dream Girl (also known as Dream Girl — Ek Ladki Deewani Si) is an Indian television drama show, which premiered on 9 March 2015 on Life OK. The show produced by Shashi Mittal and Sumeet Mittal, under Shashi Sumeet Mittal Productions.It stars Shraddha Arya as female lead, while Sudeep Sahir as male lead , Kunal Verma and Khalid Siddiqui also plays pivotal role. The show is going off air on 25 February 2016.
Plot
The story follows arpimd Lakshmi Mathur (Nikita Dutta) a small town young woman from Jodhpur, who nurtures the dream of being India's next Dreamgirl and becoming the main heroine of Navrang Studios.
Navrang is owned by the Sareens, a prestigious film family residing in the plush Pali hill, Mumbai. Lakshmi comes to Mumbai to fulfil her dreams. On the other hand, the current Dreamgirl, Ayesha Sareen (Shraddha Arya) who is a very cunning and ambitious woman, is over protective of her power and her title. She wants to be India's one and only dreamgirl. She doesn't want anyone else to replace her. All these years, she is safe because no other girl has talent and spark like her. But, when Lakshmi enters, she knows that her time is over.

The Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope has been discussed in tons of article and video essays. But is it possible that the trope isn't simply harmful to women, but specifically to neurodivergent women?
Full disclosure, I’m not neurodivergent, and this is a concept that has been spoken about by neurodivergent women. I recommend you watch their videos/read their articles as well! I've put some links below.

Manic Pixie Dream Girl (MPDG) is a stock character type in films. Film critic Nathan Rabin, who coined the term after observing Kirsten Dunst's character in Elizabethtown (2005), describes the MPDG as "that bubbly, shallow cinematic creature that exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures." MPDGs are said to help their men without pursuing their own happiness, and such characters never grow up; thus, their men never grow up.
The "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" has been compared to another stock character, the "Magical Negro," a black character who seems to exist only to provide spiritual or mystical help to the white savior protagonist. In both cases, the stock character has no discernible inner life, and usually only exists to provide the protagonist some important life lessons.
Examples
MPDGs are usually static characters who have eccentric personality quirks and are unabashedly girlish. They invariably serve as the romantic interest for a (most often brooding or depressed) male protagonist. An example is Natalie Portman's character in the movie Garden State (2004), written and directed by Zach Braff. In his review of Garden State, Roger Ebert also described this kind of rather unbelievable "movie creature" as "completely available" and "absolutely desirable."
All through, my days at school I often think of you, my darling baby boo Your always in my head, that’s why I can’t wait to go to bed, to close my eyes and visualize, you right by my side. *Chorus* Your my dream girl, living in my dream world, I’m in love with you, please don’t wake me up. Your my dream girl, living in my dream world, Im in love with you, please don’t wake me up, please don’t wake me up. We’re walking hand in hand in Disneyland, then we’re at the grand canyon, soon we’ll be on the moon, that afternoon walking on the sand. My Hawaiian baby girl, in my dreams your always near. But in the morning, there’s a warning, that you won’t be here *Chorus* Your my dream girl, living in my dream world, I’m in love with you, please don’t wake me up. Your my dream girl, living in my dream world, Im in love with you, please don’t wake me up, please don’t wake me up. Oh my girl we can go anywhere Just say the place and I’ll take you there. In this dream I can be your King, and you my love, you can be my queen… *Chorus* Your my dream girl, living in my dream world, I’m in love with you, please don’t wake me up.
