Damsel out of Distress	comment	Rejecting the traditional Damsel in Distress routine, this damsel doesn't wait for a hero to rescue her. She can take care of herself, thank you very much. This trope occurs when the damsel escapes on her own or at least makes significant progress towards it before the hero can find her. Extra points if she manages to do it still bound; even more if she then helps the hero escape the danger he's putting himself into. Almost Always Female, and usually a Plucky Girl. Compare with Play-Along Prisoner, Lady of War for a skillful and graceful fighter, Silk Hiding Steel is this trope's prim and proper relative, Xenafication for inexplicable badass leveling up, Deliberately Distressed Damsel who enjoys the damsel aspect, and Decoy Damsel who pretends to be a Damsel in Distress for her own benefit. Contrast Damsel Scrappy and Too Dumb to Live. Should not be confused with Badass in Distress, but can overlap with it. Compare Defiant Captive, where the damsel might or might not be able to free herself but nevertheless makes it clear she's not cowed.

Damsel out of Distress / int_15c6ea11	comment	Wonder Woman (1942): Diana gets captured quite frequently, but on the occasions where it turns out not to have been part of her plan in the first place she still usually gets out without any aid. If she's captured with Steve Trevor they tend to escape even faster given his lock-picking abilities bypassing anything that might weaken her super-strength enough that she can't just snap their bonds. Etta Candy, the most "normal" of the main cast, was once taken hostage by mobsters. She's knocked them all out and delivered them to the cops before anyone even knew she'd been in danger.

She's married off to an ogre because he manages to solve her father the king's Impossible Task, and he carries her off to his cave. A friendly family saves her and takes her away, but the ogre catches up to them and kills all her saviors. She's forced to act affectionately to soothe him, and he prepares to carry her away again on his back... at which point she slits his throat with the knife she was hiding. She returns to her remorseful father covered in blood and carrying the ogre's head, and the film ends with her Awesome Moment of Crowning as queen.

This guy punched out a man with the power of a demigod and has destroyed mountains. Damn straight he'll kick your weakling ass if he's unhappy about you kidnapping him. Akane tends to play the damsel note It doesn't happen as often as fanon claims until she either sees her advantage or someone (usually Ranma) pisses her off. Then it's clobberin' time, and often even her would-be rescuers don't survive unscathed.

When her father finds out, he sends Beren on an impossible quest and imprisons her. Time for her lover to rescue her? Not quite! She escapes by her own means (twice), then rescues Beren, who has also been imprisoned in the meantime... by none other than Sauron, who LÃºthien defeats almost single-handedly. Then she helps Beren fulfill his quest (and does most of the work, really, confronting the legendarium's equivalent of Satan by herself). It's interesting to note that LÃºthien was an homage to Tolkien's wife, Edith Tolkien, while Beren was basically an Author Avatar.

Damsel out of Distress / int_1ff419c5	comment	Kingdom Hearts II: Belle of Beauty and the Beast pulls this trope off again when Xaldin kidnaps her and the rose, and forces Beast to choose. She elbows Xaldin in the gut and grabs the rose before running back inside the castle. Kairi sees herself in danger often, but every time she's escaped (or in the process of it) before Sora arrives. For instance, when she's captured by Axel escapes from him but is later captured by SaÃ¯x and escapes him (with help from Namine, who, in an ironic doubling of this trope, actually IS her) and is confronted by nobodies and about to fight them when help from Riku arrives. Then she and Riku save Sora from a buttload of Heartless that Saix calls on him. Taken further in Kingdom Hearts III: Re��Mind in which Kairi is Promoted to Playable and becomes a devastating Glass Cannon.

In season one, she's held hostage with Duke and Julia on his boat by two criminals, one a psychic, looking to steal Duke's contraband. By the time Nathan knows she's in trouble, she has already come up with a Psychic Static plan that allows her and Duke to overpower them and steal their weapons. In season two, she and others are trapped by a Trouble that wraps the building in vines. By the time Nathan has broken in to rescue her, she's already figured out how to get the vines to retreat by talking down the Troubled couple creating them. In season three, she's kidnapped by that season's Big Bad and tied up in a basement of a hotel closed for the off season. She manages to tip over a glass lamp, grab a broken shard, cut through her restraints, and meets Nathan and Duke in the entryway as they're arriving to rescue her.

Of course, the initial breakout goes up in smoke, but Leia is the one who scores the kill on the dragon while the guys never make it to his lair. As mentioned above, earlier, Leia was the one who rescued her rather incompetent rescuers.

Damsel out of Distress / int_28fe1376	comment	If you are a villain in Fringe, do not kidnap Olivia Dunham. The best case scenario is that she'll escape. Worst case, she'll kill everyone involved on her way out the door. Specifically, do not attempt to use: Restraints. They don't work. Ever.

She endures numerous perils while fleeing an assortment of hideous aliens and Donald Duck, all while the supposed "hero" of the story is obliviously puffing away on his pipe, pondering arcane equations. Finally, she dons a superheroine costume, outwits the Martians with her cunning, then jetpacks back to Earth and the office just in time to take a letter from her egghead boss stating that in his opinion there is no life on Mars. Whereupon the robot reappears and abducts him instead.

After dropping themnote life-threatening head and cervicospinal injuries at least and unshackling herself in that order, she makes her way to a breach and leaps into the Manhattan night sky, only surrendering about a week later when she, the woman that took her in, and her child were held at gunpoint.

If she's captured with Steve Trevor they tend to escape even faster given his lock-picking abilities bypassing anything that might weaken her super-strength enough that she can't just snap their bonds. Etta Candy, the most "normal" of the main cast, was once taken hostage by mobsters. She's knocked them all out and delivered them to the cops before anyone even knew she'd been in danger.

This attracts the attention of James and Phil, who come to her assistance. In the climax of Daughters of Darkness (1996), Mary-Lynnette manages to distract the killer long enough to untie herself, lures them away from an unconscious Ash and is ultimately the who kills them. Daphne from The Chosen (1997), combined with Offscreen Moment of Awesome. After being kidnapped from a club used by vampires to abduct humans, she pretended to be under mind control despite being scared out of her wits to avoid alerting the vampires. When she and the other girls were put into the back of a van, she watched to see how her captors locked the door, then got it open and jumped out once the van started moving, with Rashel witnessing her escape and helping her get away. Zig-zagged with Hannah in Soulmate. After being attacked by Thierry actually Maya in disguise, she manages to fend him off by stabbing him with a pencil. She also does a decent job fending off a werewolf that attacked her in her therapist's office (using a silver picture frame), though she had help from an outside party in this case. In the climax she is [kidnapped by Maya and actually succeeds in untying herself and getting a weapon, but ultimately has to be rescued by Thierry - in fairness, she probably didn't stand much of a chance against Maya She does end up being the one to kill Maya, catching her off guard and letting her impale herself on a stake she's holding. When she's captured by slavers and stuffed into a horse-drawn cart in Black Dawn, Maggie manages to tip the cart over with some help from the other slaves and makes a run for it.

Later, when she and Julian are trapped in the mines, she gets the idea of using flooding water from the rocks and a barrel to float them up to the top of the mine shaft. Erika, when imprisoned for pretending to be Anneliese so her engagement to King Dominick could continue, uses her singing to lull the guard of her cell into sleep so she can steal his keys and break herself out.

When Nylon comes after her during a siege, she single-handedly takes him down in a swordfight. Later, when she's escaping prison with the help of Friebe, she helps Friebe fight off that castle's entire guard. In Twin Knight, we see Sapphire pass this on to her daughter Violetta, telling her when the two are being held hostage, "You can't give in to bad people, no matter how tough things get". In keeping with this trope, she then proceeds to give Violetta extra sword-fighting lessons, so her daughter would be better able to handle the upcoming dangers. For the rest of the series, Violetta and her friend Emerald find themselves in various dangers and always set about rescuing each other and themselves.

Damsel out of Distress / int_49a87cb3	comment	Final Fantasy VII: Tifa Lockhart is thought to be in distress early in the game but is instead undercover and investigating. Later in the game, she's shackled to a chair in a gas chamber and escapes on her own. Aerith Gainsborough is separated from Cloud at one point in the game and pursued by SHINRA soldiers. The player has the option to fight them with only her. Played for Laughs when Cloud goes on a date with one of the female party members and has to take part in a play, with Cloud as The Hero and Aerith/Tifa/Yuffie as the Damsel in Distress. If the player messes up too many lines, the date will angrily slap Cloud so hard he passes out and then kick her dragon captor off the stage herself. The narrator hastily wraps up the story while the other actors just awkwardly stand there.

Damsel out of Distress / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: A dwarf named Fanny Thundermar is captured by ogres during an Alliance-side quest chain in the Twilight Highlands. When you go to rescue her, you find her surrounded by dead ogres who had tried to cop a feel. Her prospective husband is very impressed. Jaina Proudmoore has one of these moments in the Fall of Theramore scenario. Your objective is to rescue her in the crater made by the mana bomb dropped by the Horde. When you find her she's surrounded by the dead, frozen corpses of numerous Horde soldiers and attempting to disarm the bomb so it can't be used again. Actually, this is more or less Jaina's default state: as players of Warcraft III know. She's an insanely powerful mage who is something of a Trouble Magnet, and also happens to be the daughter of Kul Tiras' Lord Admiral (who is treated like a King by the rest of the Alliance dignitaries). It's no wonder that when blue dragon aspect Kalecgos shows up (chasing the artifact that was used to make the mana bomb) he not only finds that Jaina needs rescuing from her own mind rather than the Horde, but also falls head over heels in love with her.

However, this trope is downplayed to an extent. While Chun-Li defeated Vega, she sustained serious injuries during the fight and might have died had she not been immediately discovered by Guile (who burst into the room right after the fight ended) and hospitalized.

Damsel out of Distress / int_4da11f30	comment	In Return of the Jedi, Jabba the Hutt takes Leia as a slave. Goodbye, Jabba; Leia strangles him with her own chains. In discussions about the film and his own book's part in inspiring it, Joseph Campbell points out that Leia is a rather unique twist on this, where the damsel is saving the dashing hero (Han) from the dragon, as played by Jabba. Of course, the initial breakout goes up in smoke, but Leia is the one who scores the kill on the dragon while the guys never make it to his lair. As mentioned above, earlier, Leia was the one who rescued her rather incompetent rescuers. Reportedly, Carrie Fisher was confronted by an angry father who wanted to try and get her to side with him in stopping production of action figures of Leia in the Gold Jabba's Palace Bikini. He demanded how he was going to explain a respected leader dressing like that to his daughter. Carrie told him, "Tell her that someone forced me to wear it. I didn't like it. So I killed him."

Rose, Kanaya, Terezi, and Vriska in particular are more likely to be the ones doing the saving than the ones getting saved, and Dog!Jade has the powers of a god-tier Witch of Space plus the powers of a First Guardian, so she can usually handle herself (though the "dog" part does make her particularly susceptible to a certain kind of attack). Roxy does this twice: once with the help of the Ring of Void, and once on her own.

When a werewolf gets too close to her house, Karyn shoots at it with a shotgun and manages to drive it off after wounding its ear, though she notes the werewolf isn't as severely hurt as it should've been and she's left feeling more unnerved than ever by the encounter. Played straight in the novel's climax. After realising how much danger she's in, Karyn calls Chris and begs him to pick her up from Drago, also urging him to bring a gun and silver bullets. When she's attacked by a werewolf at her house, Karyn takes Roy's truck and tries to flee in it, though as she doesn't know how to drive she ends up crashing the car and has to run for help. Upon learning everyone in Drago is a werewolf, she ends up back the house and does her best to barricade herself inside, armed with a shotgun, buying time for Chris to arrive. She helps him hold off the werewolves with a flaming torch and silver bullets until they can make it to his car and manages to shoot Marcia in the head when she attacks her.

Damsel out of Distress / int_694ab80	comment	Batman Beyond has Dana Tan; the few times she's a Damsel in Distress for more than a minute, she fights back. When kidnapped by a Stalker with a Crush, she tricks him into leaving her alone and tries to escape through the sewers. When Batman is overcome by giant rats while rescuing her, she creates a torch out of flotsam lying around and successfully drives the rats off of him. In The Movie, she almost gets away from the Joker who grabs her; unfortunately, she gives him so much trouble that instead of kidnapping her, he tries to kill her by throwing her off the balcony.

While at first is just vandalism â€”breaking her windows and sending death threatsâ€”, Asya's refusal to budge frustrates the pair and they escalate. Volkan then instructs SelÃ§uk to break into her house and threaten her directly. Unfortunately for Volkan, SelÃ§uk does have a bone to pick and dismisses Volkan's warnings about harming Asya. After he notices she's called for help, he starts choking her. She manages to grab a vase and smack him in the head. This alerts Asya's friends to come back, which stops SelÃ§uk in his tracks and prompts him to flee.

Damsel out of Distress / int_701f0ece	comment	Berserk: After the horrors she suffered from the Eclipse that robbed her of her sanity, poor Casca's mind was regressed to that of a small child, making her vulnerable to predation from monsters and humans alike and is in constant need of care and supervision. However, sometimes she finds herself on her own, and in such dire moments, we see that Casca's former self isn't completely gone. The most prominent example to date was when she ran away from Guts out of fear and ran into some bandits, who then tried to gang-rape her... but by the time Guts found her, Casca was naked and covered in her would-be rapists' blood after she slashed all of their throats. She also shows glimpses of her pre-Eclipse agility and acrobatics. Charlotte pulverizes her father's face with her feet after he tries to rape her. Pretty impressive for someone who's a distressed damsel most of the time.

It helps that the latter two of them are trained spies and Pam has extensive combat experience. For example with Malory Archer, In "Motherless Child" she's kidnapped and left tied up in an underground bunker with only 12 hours of oxygen. Once she calms down from her initial shock she sets about freeing herself from her bindings and working out where the hell she is. After climbing out of the bunker and back to the surface she's picked up by a truck driver who tries to proposition her, so she kicks him out and steals his truck.

However, after Madison has her Heel Realization and decries her mother as a monster, it becomes apparent that loyalty to her mother and not knowing what she could do to help save the world were the only things holding Madison back. In the lead-up to the Final Battle, Madison sneaks around the human bad guys, steals the ORCA, escapes the bad guys' hidden base and heads out on foot (implicitly helped by her mother's survivalist training), using the ORCA to draw King Ghidorah to Boston at great personal risk to herself.

Damsel out of Distress / int_847f5422	comment	"Lady Isabel and the Elf Knight" (Child #4) is (as the other wiki puts it) "the English common name representative of a very large class of European ballads". Among them are: The Dutch ballad of 'Heer Halewijn' is about a girl that asks her whole family to go to Heer (Sir) Halewijn, a man who lures women (and men probably as well) by singing. Her whole family refuses; no one returns from Halewijn. Until she asks her brother who says something akin to 'as long as you are virtuous, you can go'. So she goes, ends up killing Halewijn, rides back with his (still bleeding!) head in her lap, which is coloured red by his blood and puts his head on the table when her father organises a feast because she has returned. Steeleye Span performs a variant called "The Elf Knight". Lady Isabel may be in distress, but she doesn't need anyone's help to get herself out of it. The unnamed "maiden fair" in the ballad The Outlandish Knight, as well as the title character in the alternative version May Colvin. The knight convinces her to run away with him, then tells her he's going to drown her in the ocean, as he's done to six other maidens. Then, she convinces him to turn his back on her. "Six pretty maidens have you drowned here/And the seventh has drowned thee."

She needed aid in the form of an Armor-Piercing Question to overcome the first and beat the second on her own. In both Looming Shadow and Mana Mutation Menace, baddies think that Tiza will be easy to capture and use as a hostage because she's not a mage. Both situations end with them being the ones Bound and Gagged while she gloats.

Damsel out of Distress / int_8df5521b	comment	Superman: Lois Lane has quite the nerve. This is a woman who is caught by villains all the time, but only because she's Genre Savvy enough to know that if she does so she'll not only get the scoop on the front-page story but also survive to write it. Not just by getting rescued either; if Superman doesn't know/is depowered/is busy, she'll pretend to fall in love with the drug lord who captured her, then blast herself out of their wedding, veil, gown, and all, with a Mook's stolen machine gun. She even gave Ursa a well-deserved punch in Superman II. Supergirl and Batgirl seldom need to be rescued. In World's Finest #169: The Supergirl-Batgirl Plot they've been kidnapped by Catwoman and Black Flame (a Silver Age Supergirl enemy). By the time Superman and Batman arrive at the cave where they're being held, both girls have already escaped. In fact, they save them from a Death Trap. In The Plague of the Antibiotic Man, Amalak has captured Supergirl and is about to shoot her brains off when he realizes his ray gun has been disabled. Supergirl then easily snaps her chains and punches his jaw, smirking the whole time.

Though shielded from the One Power, by entering Tel'aran'rhiod they manage to find a way to put their abductors out of commission and weaken their hold over them. Just when they're about to find a way to escape their cell, Mat and Juilin open their cell door from the outside, having come to rescue them. The girls are befuddled to see them here, given that they had no idea Mat was even in Tear â€“ let alone in the legendary impregnable fortress of the Stone â€“ and that Juilin was the one who had sold them out to the Black Ajah in the first place. Nynaeve punches the terrified Black Ajah sister, who had been guarding them, in the face and knocks her out in order to get her powers back, and then holds Mat in a lock of Air to tell him off for his reckless behavior. Mat, of course, and perhaps understandably so, grumbles about the ungrateful reception of his rescue.

Later in the game, she's shackled to a chair in a gas chamber and escapes on her own. Aerith Gainsborough is separated from Cloud at one point in the game and pursued by SHINRA soldiers. The player has the option to fight them with only her. Played for Laughs when Cloud goes on a date with one of the female party members and has to take part in a play, with Cloud as The Hero and Aerith/Tifa/Yuffie as the Damsel in Distress. If the player messes up too many lines, the date will angrily slap Cloud so hard he passes out and then kick her dragon captor off the stage herself. The narrator hastily wraps up the story while the other actors just awkwardly stand there. Final Fantasy X: Yuna, the sweet, shy, innocent summoner is kidnapped a couple of times but pulls this trope off. Escaping on her own just as her rescuers arrive and then attempting to send Seymour at the forced marriage; when that fails she jumps off a roof and escapes on an aeon. During the Blitzball tournament in Luca, Yuna is abducted by the Al Bhed, who intend to use her as a hostage and force the Besaid Aurochs to throw the game against them in the elimination round. Tidus, Lulu, and Kimahri mount a rescue mission, fighting their way through waves of guard machina to the ship where Yuna is being held captive. Upon defeating the Oblitzerator, they rush to open the door to belowdecks ... only for the door to open and an unconscious guard to slump out onto the ground as Yuna walks out.

The chains don't last long against the Amazon Princess, much to the bad guy's dismay. In "The Last of the Two Dollar Bills", Wonder Woman's bracelets are taken and she's locked in a cell. She breaks the lock in two with her bare hands then disarms and overpowers the guard. Bonus points in the same episode to Steve Trevor, the series' designated Distressed Dude, for disarming the bomb that the Nazi spy left behind to kill him.

When she and the other girls were put into the back of a van, she watched to see how her captors locked the door, then got it open and jumped out once the van started moving, with Rashel witnessing her escape and helping her get away.

Pike isn't a fighter or very athletic, so he has to be rescued more often than not. He eventually becomes competent enough to take care of himself when Buffy's not around to protect him, kills two vampires along the way (one of them is In the Back), and even saves Buffy's life at one point (albeit unintentionally). He's given his due when Buffy has been shirking her duties as the Slayer due to the death of her mentor on the night of Buffy's final confrontation with the Big Bad; he uses his knife to whittle an entire sackful of stakes for her so she'll be ready to take on the vampires - and she grudgingly remarks that she's glad somebody has come prepared.

Laurel has none of it, breaks free from Edgar's grip, and jumps into a nearby tree, fiercely clinging to one of its branches to avoid falling. She eventually does fall, but is unharmed, and manages to get a hold of Jay's MIB gun which she quickly uses to blast the surviving half of the bug into oblivion.

In the climax she is [kidnapped by Maya and actually succeeds in untying herself and getting a weapon, but ultimately has to be rescued by Thierry - in fairness, she probably didn't stand much of a chance against Maya She does end up being the one to kill Maya, catching her off guard and letting her impale herself on a stake she's holding.

It's mentioned occasionally that when she's in a situation where fighting would actually do some good (i.e. when she's not hopelessly outnumbered) she can fight pretty well, it's just that that sort of thing never seems to come up in the books, so the smart thing is to bide her time and wait.

Damsel out of Distress / int_dc656a9a	comment	In Sandokan novels: Marianna. She can be kidnapped, as her physical strength is that of a young and very short woman, but she knows how to use guns (normally a muzzle-loader hunting carbine, but she even manned a cannon, in the tv movies), and has no qualms at using them. Heck, her first reaction at Sandokan announcing his intention to kill a tiger with a knife to gift her the skin was to grab a gun to try and hunt down the tiger to prevent Sandokan from risking his life. Part of why she fell for Sandokan was that he was the first man other than her uncle (who taught her how to shoot) who accepted that side of her. In The King of the Sea Darma, Tremal Naik's daughter, proves she has grown into this when her reaction to attacking Dayaks is to use them to prove herself a crack shot. She still got kidnapped by overwhelming numbers, but she made them pay for that in blood.

Mia then is channeled by Pearl, who relays the information to the police searching for Maya. There's also a part where Maya manages to escape from the cellar she's kept in, though she can't get much farther than that. Maya's channeling of Mia for advice is later used in the final case of the third game, where Maya is chased by a bloodthirsty and dead Dahlia Hawthorne and is advised by Mia to lock herself up and channel Dahlia herself, thus forcing Dahlia into confinement. Also, in just about every case where Maya's the defendant, she'll channel Mia at least once, so Phoenix can have her help.

When he dies from his wounds right after slaying the demon king, the princess has no other choice but to take her rescuer's sword and break herself out.

She's captured herself and taken to one of these convents after she tries to convince the ringleader's wife to leave him. Michael Smyth tries to help her when he discovers what happened, but Sokanon already manages to kill her captors and free all the girls before Michael can even get there.

Damsel out of Distress / int_f301fd1a	comment	Yukari Sahashi, from Sekirei. While most Ashikabi are Non-Action Guys, she regularly kicks guys in the balls and beats them up so badly they end up in the hospital. She spends a few chapters holding the Distress Ball after Higa kidnaps her as part of an And Now You Must Marry Me plot and forces Shiina to work for him. However, she eventually realizes that she's been holding the Distress Ball and decides to drop it. With a Slasher Smile, she sets fire to his penthouse, tells his secretary to pass on a very insulting message, and then jumps out a 50-story window because she knows Shiina will catch her. This proves to be the cherry on top of his Humiliation Conga.

Damsel out of Distress / int_f3e1f424	comment	Merlin: Guinevere has the highest amount of kidnappings and captures on the show, but (as actress Angel Coulby has said in interviews) is also the strongest emotionally. The writers admitted that she's got the most common sense. Her ability to keep her wits around her, whether by bluffing her captors or keeping track of what's happening on a battlefield, has kept her and others alive more than once. One episode has Morgana and Gwen apprehended by bandits. Within seconds, the two manage to fight off their captors and run away. Although Gwen gets recaptured, Morgana makes it to safety.

Damsel out of Distress / int_f84c42c0	comment	Lupin III: Any villain who takes Fujiko hostage and is foolish enough to either leave her unattended or fall for her feminine wiles will usually find out just how helpless she isn't: The first OVA The Fuma Conspiracy had two captured females, Murasaki and Fujiko. Murasaki is your typical Damsel in Distress, but Fujiko, who also gets a vase on her head, escapes by breaking the vase on the head of the guard and stealing the key of her handcuffs, and rejoins Lupin. Near the end of the special Voyage to Danger, Todd and his men hold Lupin and co. at gunpoint. Just as they're about to fire, Fujiko pretends to panic and shamelessly begs Todd to spare her by cozying up to him... just long enough to steal his gun and single-handedly turn the table on him. Near the beginning of the episode "Albatross: Wings of Death", Prof. Lumbach kidnaps Fujiko and holds her hostage. Lupin and the others attempt to rescue her, but she saves them the trouble by freeing herself and winds up saving them when she single-handedly takes over the plane!

The sole survivor when her family is massacred by the tyrant Fax, she dresses in rags and ashes and pretends to be an elderly servant. With her psychic powers, she controls the other servants to commit little errors and lapses that, over the next ten years, ruin the castle and its environs, and ultimately the entire Hold; the idea being that Fax will renounce it, then she can reveal herself and take over. She is a literal Cinderella who needs no prince to rescue her. And she starts doing this when she is ten years old.

When her brother-in-law George keeps her captive with the intent of stealing her fortune, Anne knows she has very little power and needs the aid and protection of her beloved, George's brother Richard. However, with Richard off at war, Anne gets word that George intends to lock her in a nunnery or worse. So she and her ladies maid escape and hide out at an inn disguised as servants until Richard rides in on a white horse and rescues her. But had Anne not run away, it would have been too late for Richard to help her.
