Quote:
Many magical girlfriends are ultimately idealizations of girls the (male) audience would like. (This sometimes produces mixed reactions in fangirls.) They have great dedication to whatever work they do and for whomever they have great affection, although depending on the character's actual talents this can make for anything from 'quite capable' to 'well-meaning klutz'. They usually have calm and demure personalities, which isn't always true of the other characters associated with them.
Some have little experience with mainstream life (especially the non-human examples) and are naive. On the other hand, this allows them to have few preconceptions and arguably makes them more open-minded and empathic with others. They are usually considered emotionally insightful, seeing the good in others when most wouldn't and forgiving their shortcomings.

I went ahead and directly quoted the unabridged version of the definition for magical personality, from the magical girlfriend page for those who didn't want to click over to another page.
