Plastic Bag Character 

A Plastic Bag character is an anime character, often female, who's entire personality is to be either shy, clumsy, and can sometimes be an air head, essentially, less personality than a plastic bag. They are often a pushover who's decision making is completely dependant on what other characters think, often just going along with what other characters decide for them. Their role in their given show is that they must be protected and can never do wrong in most characters eyes; if someone actually does get mad at them, the other characters will jump to defend the Plastic Bag.

This character can often be confused for the Mary Sue character type.

Notable Plastic Bag Characters are:
Yui from Diabolik Lovers
Ema from Brother's conflict
Chiho from Devil is a Part Timer
Meiko from Digimon Tri
Toru from Fruits Basket
Young Sakura from Naruto
