Who is a "damsel in distress"?

A damsel in distress is a character, usually a woman, who finds herself in a situation of danger, difficulty, or helplessness and requires rescue or assistance from a hero or another character. This archetype is often depicted as vulnerable and in need of saving, and her situation typically serves as a plot device to highlight the hero's bravery, resourcefulness, or honor. The damsel in distress is a common figure in traditional fairy tales and adventure stories, though modern narratives often reinterpret or challenge this trope by giving the character more independence or strength.
