Ingenue (stock character)
The Ingenue is a stock character in literature and film and a role type in the theatre.
Typically, the ingenue is young, beautiful and virginal, in mental or emotional rather than physical danger, usually a target of The Cad; she may have mistaken him for The Hero.
In opera and musical theatre, the ingenue is usually sung by a light soprano.
Ingenue and ingenuous may also refer to a new actor or actress or one typecast in such roles.
