A New TV Character Archetype: The Hummingbird
"They're idealistic feminine dreamers whose personalities are irritants. They are not merely spunky, but downright obsessive. And most crucially, these are not minor characters. On each show, the Hummingbird is a protagonist - an alienating-yet-sympathetic figure whose struggles are taken seriously and considered meaningful." The New Yorker 03/03/13
