(SPOILER FREE AUDIO) Wednesday Addams, Lisbeth Salander, Marceline the Vampire Queen, Raven -- why do these dark girls become such fan favorites? Why is this trope/archetype so appealing that these characters become instant cultural icons? My theory can be split up into two main categories: these characters embody a common social empowerment fantasy and, from a writer's perspective, this trope provides strong and easily identifiable pathways for plot and character development. Not only do dark girls enable us to live out social daydreams through our identification with them, their inner fortitude is like a superpower, both admirable and interesting. They have strong identities and (often) unusual abilities, and always a cool style that permeates everything in their life (which opens up an intriguing discussion about gender).
