Manic Pixie Climbing Girl (MPCG) is a stock character type in climbing dating sites. Forum critic Nathan Rabin, who coined the term after observing Kirsten Dunst's character in Elizabethtown (2005), describes the MPCG as "that bubbly, shallow climbing 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.

++1 for stitch.

When I first read the un-parodied definition, I thought it was so true. Definitely a subtle stock character nowadays.

Another wikipedia definition I like and agree with is "uncanny valley"

The uncanny valley hypothesis is very interesting. Thanks for the link.
