What I've observed is that when I see an arrow heading towards a girl, if I pick her up, wait for the arrow to hit and disappear, and then set the girl back down, then there will be no damage number over her head and I won't see her health bar visibly decrease. But if I put her down somewhere else before the arrow disappears, then it will curve mid-flight, hit her and cause damage. This appears to be true for both normal and special attacks. I just tested this fighting some archers, so maybe it behaves differently with magic missiles.
