* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Deconstructed with Betty. She hits most of the notes of the MPDG--fun-loving, madcap, sexy, dedicated to the hero, generally zany and unpredictable--but her zaniness and unpredictability takes a very dark and violent form, with Betty given to violent rages. Eventually she has a complete mental breakdown.
