History Main / MagicalGirlfriend

* In Carole Matthew's book ''ItsAKindOfMagic'' (not to be confused with the song of the same name), a guy is dumped by his girlfriend (justified, because he was an immature JerkAss who was late to her birthday party, showed up drunk and embarrassed her in front of her friends and family) meets a woman whom he saves from suicide, then discovers that she is in fact a fairy from a MagicalLand (complete with MagicWand). He becomes her boyfriend, and slowly changes everything about himself. In the end, after he changes for the better, [[spoiler: he and his friends (who know all about his new girlfriend being a fairy) have to take her to Stonehenge in order to return her to her home when she becomes dangerously ill. They end up entering her world alongside her, then the guy has one night of passion with her before she convinces him to return to his ex-girlfriend, revealing that she will soon have SomeoneToRememberHimBy, a son who will become an air spirit, as well as TheReveal that she appeared on Earth because his girlfriend wished he'd change his ways]].(Oh, and the story [[TwoLinesNoWaiting interweaves]] with the story of his ex-girlfriend being jealous of the new girl, and wondering if [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor her wish]] was a good thing.

* This actually happens to {{Nodwick}} in a series of strips that parody the ''Vault of the Drow'' module. Nodwick and party meets a [[HornyDevils succubus]] who is attracted to people with big noses for some reason. Sadly for Nodwick, this doesn't work out; she leaves him when she finds out he's a henchman. (Yes, it seems dating a henchman even be bad for a demon's reputation.)

* The male leads in the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' series are Magical ''[[GenderInvertedExample Boy]]''friends.

* There is a honest to goodness genderflipped college clique full of these in ''Webcomic/GirlsNextDoor'' called Wibsy (Weirdo Boyfriend and Supernatural Stalker Club[[note]]The boyfriends/stalkers range from the fairly normal deformed psycho MadArtist to [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghosts]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampires]] (although they have their own clique), [[TheFairFolk fae]], a magical prince from a fairytale kingdom... and a [[DragonsUpTheYinYang river spirit/eastern dragon]].[[/note]]) there is even mention of this trope in the artist comment when they debut and that the DistaffCounterpart boys club historically resides in Japan. Oh... and both main characters are members (one has the MadArtist the other TheFairFolk as unwanted boyfriend / StalkerWithACrush).

* Let's face it, this trope is the main reason the ParanormalRomance (especially the young adult version) exists.

** In a broader sense it's set in a '[[{{Franchise/Buildingverse}} verse]], where (according to mother series ''{{Webcomic/Roommates}}'') the magical people actively engage in InterspeciesRomance because [[TangledFamilyTree all of them are pretty much related]], making both magical girlfriends and boyfriend extremely common.

* ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'' casts a {{Moe Anthropomorphi|sm}}zed version of [[EldritchAbomination Nyarlathotep]] ([[WidgetSeries yes]], ''[[CthulhuMythos that one]]'') in this role.

* The parody LightNovels ''[[LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarko Haiyore! Nyarko-san]]'' casts Nyarlathotep -- yes, ''[[CthulhuMythos that]]'' Nyarlathotep -- as this.

* Commander Shepard in ''MassEffect'' can be seen as this, particular if romancing alien crewmembers. Tali lampshades this to Male Shepard;

* In ''My Stepmother is an Alien''. Celeste's true mission was to investigate a possible attack on her planet that Steven was suspected of being behind (it wasn't intentional) and she never had the intention of becoming his lover and later his wife. It just [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove kind of turned out that way]].

* Partially subverted in ''My Stepmother is an Alien''.

* Cruelly subverted in the [[TheMightyThor Thor]] comics with [[StarCrossedLovers Ice Goddess Kelda and short-order cook Bill]]. [[DoctorDoom Dr. Doom]] even taunted the bereft Kelda that [[MayflyDecemberRomance she and Bill were never meant to be]].

* The Rodgers and Hart musical ''IMarriedAnAngel''. The title is meant literally.

Compare and contrast with ManicPixieDreamGirl. See WellExcuseMePrincess for when the MagicalGirlfriend wakes up to how much of a geeky loser her love interest is and begins calling him on it, and ActionGirlfriend if she's more action-oriented than magical. May overlap with BoyMeetsGhoul. See DivineDate: a variation that is often use to appeal to female audiences as much as male.

Called ''Mahou Kanojo'' in Japan, this is the genre of adolescent male WishFulfillment, and has become rather popular.

* This actually happens to {{Nowick}} in a series of strips that parody the ''Vault of the Drow'' module. Nodwick and party meets a [[HornyDevils succubus]] who is attracted to people with big noses for some reason. Sadly for Nodwick, this doesn't work out; she leaves him when she finds out he's a henchman. (Yes, it seems dating a henchman even be bad for a demon's reputation.)

** Other versions say that when the statue was given life it abandoned Pygmalion and sought out men more handsome and socially adept than its bitter, anti-social creator.

* ''Anime/TheWorldOfNarue'' - HalfHumanHybrid (the other half being alien).
