This character has a familial or romantic relationship with a protagonist, which allows creators to derive heart-wrenching sorrow from her death. Thanks to "woman" being a unique character trait, character development is not strictly necessary to get the audience mourning as well... so she typically gets little or none. Losing her is often an Inciting Incident (in both stand-alone and serial works), giving the protagonist a pretext for Revenge against her murderers. In a series, she is easily forgotten by the characters, forgotten by the writers or even summarily replaced. When this happens frequently in a series, the protagonist is suffering from the Cartwright Curse. Men can and have been treated this way in various stories, though such cases are rare. More often, Men Are the Expendable Gender, allowing for dozens of comrades-in-arms to die before equating to the same level of personal investment as a single female love interest, not to mention their mother/sister. Expendable characters of any gender are freely used to let a villain show off how evil they are without damaging any of the more important characters. The "disposable" character remains defined by her relationship to the protagonist, rather than by her gender. For that matter, not all dead female characters are "disposable". Writers can have the characters continue to mourn her long past a revenge arc, or develop the character in Flashbacks and Dream Sequences. Such characters are The Lost Lenore. Lenore continues to have a recognised impact on the characters and story after her demise rather than conveniently vanishing from the minds of characters, audience, and creators after having served her function as catalyst. A "disposable" character, on the other hand, had almost zero characterization before she stopped appearing in the work. Contrast Disposable Love Interest, where "disposable" means that the character disappeared with no explanation or left off-screen with minimal explanation so creators can introduce a new Love Interest. Contrast Disposable Sex Worker and Disposable Vagrant, where characters are considered disposable because they are "unclean" and "forgotten" by society as a whole. Compare Temporary Love Interest, where a character has a serious relationship with a character who is quickly written out of the story to preserve the status quo, and Her Heart Will Go On, where a Love Interest is killed off to showcase the protagonist specifically dealing with the Emotional Torque of losing a loved one. See Collateral Angst. |

Jump forward to Shadows of Self, Wax finds himself at odds with Paalm, a rogue Kandra revolting against Harmony. In typical noir fashion, she plays mind games with Wax, including taking personal shots at his trauma by occasionally taking on the appearance of Lessie. At the end of the book, when he finally catches Paalm, she commits suicide, preferring to die than to lose control to Harmony again. As she dies, though, she reveals she was Lessie all along. Harmony fabricated their meeting and relationship in order to develop Wax into the lawman he became. Complications arose when Paalm actually fell in love with him. When Harmony needed Wax to return to Elendel, Paalm refused to aid him, seeing how happy Wax was with his adventures in the west. Being able to take control of her, Harmony did it anyway, faking Paalm's death. She grew to resent Harmony because of it, setting out to free Wax from his influence with the help of the Set. As such, this trope comes out to be invoked, defied, and especially deconstructed. The entire course of events ends up as a meta commentary about disposable women. From the perspective of Paalm, the narrative becomes the story of a woman rising up against the author of the grand narrative, rejecting her role within it after she was forcefully fridged without consideration or rejection of her own perspective and experience for the sole purpose of developing a loved one's character so that he may get the needed motivation or skills to do what the author needs him to do. | |

Inside Job (2021) plays this straight, to Reagan's annoyance. Reagan tries to fake her death and get Stalker with a Crush Rafe Masters off her back, but since Rafe is a Tuxedo and Martini, he instead goes on a quest to avenge her by finding her killer, making the problem worse. | |

Happens at least three times in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School. In the first episode, Chisa Yukizome is the first victim of the killing game which is meant to fuel Munakata's grudge against Naegi and the Remnants he tried to protect. Next would be Kyoko Kirigiri who "sacrifices" her life in order to protect her love interest Naegi's. It's her death that motivates the boy to face off against Munakata to resolve their conflict. It's somewhat subverted as the final episode shows that Kirigiri was resurrected off-screen thanks to a special medicine. |

Bonanza: Seemingly every episode that introduced a female love interest for the Cartwrights worked like this. The girl would invariably harbor a sinister secret or have someone stalking her, with the villain of the week succeeding in his mission to kill the girl. Season 14's two-part episode "Forever": Little Joe makes it to the altar with Alice Harper for all of half an hour's screentime before she and their unborn child are murdered to start Joe's Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the man who ordered their deaths. That episode is pretty much the last we ever hear of either Alice or the baby. |

Initially played straight in the first book, we are introduced our protagonist Waxillium Ladrian and his wife Lessie. Within the very prologue, Lessie is killed when the serial killer they've been chasing takes her hostage and inexplicably blocks the bullet when Wax attempts to Shoot the Hostage Taker. This disaster motivates Wax to hang up his badge and return to the city to manage his family's estate, being the sole heir, kickstarting the events of the series. | |

A male example from the 1960s: Bennett Brant, Betty's lawyer brother, was introduced and killed in The Amazing Spider-Man (Lee & Ditko) #11 so that Betty could blame Spider-Man for his death and thus throw a spanner in the works of her romance with Spidey's alter ego Peter Parker. Bennett practically never was mentioned or made an appearance again after that subplot ended, and if it was it was to work out the Continuity Snarl that developed when Marvel decided that Betty must be around Peter's age. If Bennett behaved as if he was Betty's younger brother, how could he be an attorney when Peter was still in high school? | |

Linkara discusses this in the Atop the Fourth Wall review of Batman: The Killing Joke. He explains that all Barbara Gordon's crippling does, in the broader picture of things, serves to motivate the men in the picture, that the moment and the prologue before it was only meant to give the men reason to go against the villains. He even suggests that the crippling shouldn't even have happened in the animated version as this was just a one-off movie. | |

Arguably, Harry's one-time student Kim Delaney in Fool Moon. She's killed by a super-powered werewolf midway through the novel, having never been mentioned in the previous book. However, she is mentioned a few times in later books, and her death serves to teach Harry the consequences of Poor Communication Kills. Further proving that Jim Butcher has no original ideas, he then proceeds to do the exact same thing to Susan Rodriguez in Changes and Karrin Murphy in Battle Ground. Both deaths do nothing but make Harry miserable, but the latter death was doubly insulting considering not only is it an incredibly unsatisfying end to Murphy's previously excellent story arc, but he did it a mere five books after he just finished stuffing Susan in there, so readers don't even get a reprieve from this bad storytelling. |

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, Kisara's character boils down to 'quiet, mysterious girl who's powerful, but is killed to motivate Priest Seto'. In the manga, she's randomly attacked in the middle of a conversation and dies, enraging Seto and allowing him to be possessed until the end of the arc. The anime has her sacrifice herself to protect Seto and then free him from the darkness before the end of the arc. In the original plan for the arc, her death would have served to motivate an un-brainwashed Seto to rebel against the Pharaoh, fighting a three-way war to avenge her death. | |

This befalls several characters in the 24 universe, especially women who have been married to/dated Jack Bauer: Claudia, Jack's ex-girlfriend who lives in Mexico working for the Salazar brothers. As soon as she, her father and Chase Edmunds make plans to escape the Salazar ranch, her life expectancy is measured in minutes, not episodes. She ends up dying off-screen during their escape. Audrey Raines: kidnapped in the first episode she appears in. Rescued several times from perilous situations by Jack until she gets captured and tortured by the Chinese for a year in the sixth season. She's now in an unresponsive coma. And then she recovers by Live Another Day only to be shot dead in the finale. |

World of Warcraft plays this straight at times - one example is Thassarian's mother, who was introduced and killed in the same comic and did little more than beg for her life and provide angst for her son. Though given how often dead characters manage to reappear somehow in this franchise, it's always possible this isn't the last we've seen of her. And it should also be noted that Blizzard Entertainment have an unusual ability to characterize characters who aren't present: such as Alleria Windrunner and Turalyon for the expansions before Legion. As the current expansion is headed into the Shadowlands, the realms of death, it's very likely we may learn more about Thassarian's mother even if we don't directly see her. In any case one of the notable things about this game is that this trope is more often averted than played straight. Notable aversions are Keristrasza, Tarecgosa, and Theradras. Although all three are female characters killed almost immediately after being introduced, they all receive more than enough characterization to be remembered by most players years after their deaths. Keristrasza's death falls under the category of Noble Sacrifice, a death trope that is usually reserved for male characters. Although Tarecgosa's death serves as a motivation for her brother Kalecgos to seize political power, that also wasn't the only reason for it: she was killed rebelling against the former leader of the Blue Dragons, a worthy cause in itself. Theradras meanwhile is the boss of a dungeon, driven to madness by grief for her lost husband. But we later meet her mother Therazane, and get significantly more information about her and what happened. Theradras' husband though, would definitely qualify for this trope as a rare male example. To be fair, when you have literally thousands of characters across four games and many many ancillary materials: this trope is somewhat inevitable. | |

Mazinger Z: Rumi. She was a maid Dr. Kabuto hired to take care of his orphaned grandsons while he was building Mazinger Z. She was cold-bloodly murdered by Baron Ashura less than five minutes after her first appearance in the first episode. Kouji and Shiro cried when they found the corpse, but she was not mentioned again. A number of adaptations (like Super Robot Wars or Shin Mazinger) remove the character, flat out. | |

Max Payne: In the third game, Damsel in Distress Fabiana suffers from this, being rescued in the first chapter only to be recaptured in the second and eventually killed halfway through the game. To add insult to injury, it's barely even considered a karmic strike against her murderer, who Max secretly hopes became a Karma Houdini in the end. | |

An ongoing trend in James Bond films. Beautiful women would appear for three scenes at most, before dying, usually after being ploughed by Bond and doing something vague. Often the actresses playing these women would receive star billing in the credits (e.g. "And Lana Wood as Plenty O'Toole"). Examples include Jill and Tilly Masterson in Goldfinger, Plenty O'Toole in Diamonds Are Forever, Rosie Carver in Live and Let Die and Corinne Dufour in Moonraker. Della Churchill, loving wife of Felix Leiter, is killed less than twenty minutes into Licence to Kill and Leiter himself fed to a shark. Bond decides It's Personal. Leiter survives and doesn't seem too fazed by the death of his wife. When Roald Dahl was hired to write the screenplay for You Only Live Twice, he was told that every Bond movie needs three Bond girls: one is pro-Bond and dies; another is anti-Bond but is won over by his charms; and the third, pro-Bond woman is the one he gets to bed at the end of the film. Not every Bond movie has used these exact rules, but Dahl followed the template with Aki, Helga and Kissy (unnamed in the movie) respectively. The Daniel Craig Bond films have continued this trend. Witness Strawberry Fields (Gemma Arterton) in Quantum of Solace and Séverine (Bérénice Marlohe) in Skyfall. There are aversions though, such as Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci) in Spectre. |

In The Dark Knight, Rachel Dawes, the love interest of Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent, is kidnapped by the Joker's goons and is killed in a warehouse explosion. Her death not only impacts Bruce but also kickstarts Harvey to take revenge on those who wronged him as Two-Face. It's also worth mentioning that Rachel was the only prominent female character in the movie (and a Canon Foreigner on top of that). | |

In Deep Rising, Finnegan's XO Leila is the first of the protagonists to be killed by the creatures. Despite her brief screen time setting her up as one of the most sympathetic cast members, her fate gets barely any mention by her crewmates, least of all the mercs. Finnegan's reaction boils down to one gloomy "I don't think she made it" to her boyfriend Joey, who in turn sheds a tear for her during his following repair job but goes back to his usual snarky self immediately afterwards, effectively forgetting about her from that moment forth. | |

She successfully got Laura to him and left behind her smartphone with an inexplicably well-edited video for exposition, but she isn't mentioned again by Logan, Laura, or the kids she had already led to safety - she just dies once her job of kickstarting the plot is complete. |

In Universal Soldier: The Return, Luc Deveraux had a partner named Maggie who spends most of the time protecting Luc's daughter Hilary from the maniacal S.E.T.H. and his army of Uni Sols. Unfortunately, Maggie gets killed by S.E.T.H's right-hand man Romeo and revived as a Uni Sol to serve S.E.T.H., much to Luc's grief. Even when Luc managed to free Maggie by destroying S.E.T.H. and a majority of Uni Sols, Maggie finds the idea of living as a Uni Sol to be unbearable and asked Luc to blow up the building with herself and the remaining Uni Sols inside. Understanding what Maggie went through, Luc reluctantly obliges, and Maggie accepts her fate perishing in the explosion, taking Romeo and the remaining Uni Sols with her. | |

Sys, Guts's adopted mother from Berserk, was the only other person who truly loved Guts, aside from Casca. However, her only real purpose in the story was to show how much Guts's adopted father, Gambino, despised Guts for supposedly being the cause of her death, and so she is only presented for a few panels until she died of the plague when Guts is three, and is only mentioned thereafter by Gambino right before Guts killed him in self defense. | |

Final Fantasy IV: Tellah's daughter, Anna, pretty much only exists to give Tellah and Edward motivation. Otherwise the game doesn't dwell on her death. For Tellah, her running away with Edward kickstarts his joining the party in the first place, and her death at the hands of Golbez's forces serves to trigger his Roaring Rampage of Revenge and eventual Heroic Sacrifice. And it leads to one of the most famous of all Woolseyisms. She is more of a Lost Lenore for Edward, as most of his time with the party is spent moping about her death. However she still primarily serves as a motivating factor in Edward growing a spine. |

Gundam: Gundam SEED did this rather (in)famously with the "Astray Girls". Done even more infamously with the Shrike Team (and several others) in Victory Gundam. Yoshiyuki Tomino had pretty much hit the bottom of the barrel of his depression, and it shows. |

This happens to many of the female characters in Red Dead Redemption. For instance, Bonnie MacFarlane's quest chain ends with her getting kidnapped, abused and hanged (before she's rescued by lead character John Marston). Luisa dies in a blink-and-you-miss-it moment after you've finished her quest chain (and rescued her from kidnappers/saved her life many times before), several Mexican peasant girls are implied to have been captured/raped/killed during the course of the story, and one poor bank patron in Blackwater is caught solely for the purpose of getting a bullet between the eyes, courtesy of the game's Big Bad. Of course, this is partly because the game is a Deconstruction of Wild West myths (the hero doesn't always save the damsel-in-distress). | |

NCIS: Ellie Bishop's Season 14 boyfriend Qasim fits this to a T, getting only three episodes spaced several weeks apart—one to establish that they're dating, one to kill him off, and one where she seeks revenge on his behalf, interspersed with flashbacks to tell their story. True to form, he hasn't been mentioned since, and she seems completely over it already, despite the final flashback telling the viewer she would have accepted his proposal had he not died. | |

Xenoblade Chronicles 1: Fiora dies only one chapter after her introduction at the hands of Metal Face during his raid on Colony 9, and her death is both the cause of Shulk's initial quest (to get revenge on the Mechon) and a source of angst for him. Then subverted when she's revealed to have survived her apparent death Reforged into a Minion, and goes on to take a prominent role in the story, even becoming the final party member. | |

Clay Terran in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies is a male example. Supposedly Apollo's best friend, he's never mentioned in the previous game at all. In the game itself, he's killed by the game's Big Bad before we even see him on screen, driving a conflict between Apollo and the rest of the Wright Anything Agency. Tellingly, he isn't mentioned even once in the next game, despite Apollo having an even bigger role there. Clay pretty much exists only to temporarily give Apollo some angst. | |

In the BBC's retelling of Robin Hood, it is Maid Marian - yes Maid Marian herself who is turned into this after she is stabbed to death by Guy of Gisborne. True to the trope, after a brief Roaring Rampage of Revenge, Robin more or less moves on and acquires two new love interests in the course of the third season. They try for an Author's Saving Throw at the end of the season in which Robin ultimately dies and gets a Together in Death scene with Marian. | |

Dragon Ball Super: In Episode 47, Future Trunks watches as his mother, Bulma, is killed by Goku Black, who initially takes the appearance of a ghastly apparition or Eldritch Abomination, rather than someone in Goku's body. Before revealing to the viewer that the Big Bad is someone who looks near identical to Goku, Trunks' girlfriend, Mai, appears to be killed by Black. This is later subverted when she is shown to have survived the blast. Nonetheless, Black serves as Trunks's Arch-Enemy throughout this arc. Later played straight again when Zamasu describes to Goku how Black murdered the future timeline versions of Goten and Chi-Chi. This causes Goku to snap like he did during his fight against Freeza on Namek. |

Dragon Ball GT: Gender Flipped example with Krillin. Being Demoted to Extra, he mostly shows up in just cameos. His first "major" appearance is him getting unceremoniously killed off by Android #17 in front of his wife #18 (which is also the third time he dies in this continuity). While it seems that #18 is killed right after, she later shows up in the final fight to assist Goku and take revenge for her husband. The next arc is about trying to purify the Dragon Balls to revive Krillin and other victims, but this is more treated like an after-thought for most of the arc and he's later revived in the final episode. Notably, #18 doesn't even appear in said arc and we don't see her and Krillin reunite, since the final episode focuses on Goku's departure from the series. | |

While The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries tended to avoid this, three episodes stand out and play it straight: "Last Kiss of Summer": We're introduced to Jamie, the love of Joe's life who he's willing to marry & throw over his entire life for — a woman who hasn't been mentioned throughout the entire series to this point — and 10 minutes into the episode, right after the wedding rehearsal where Joe & Jamie pledge vows, Jamie's killed by a random drunk driver, followed by Joe weeping over her bloody body and vowing a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Jamie is never mentioned again in the series. "Dangerous Waters": Ria Thomas exists only to be kidnapped and rescued twice by the Hardy Boys. "Arson & Old Lace": Nancy Drew became this. We never see her actually working on the case. She exists only as the helpless victim to be rescued by her love interest, Frank Hardy. And after this episode, she disappeared from the series for good, save for a one-line mention in "Campus Terror". |

In Chapter 0 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Rika was the childhood friend of the generic protagonist Yuta Okkotsu. She is killed in an accident and ends up becoming a cursed spirit who constantly protects and haunts him. Her death and tragedy are what fuel Yuta's motivation into becoming a strong sorcerer. During the Gojo's Past Arc, Gojo and Suguru are charged with escorting Riko Amanai, the future vessel of Tengen-sama, and develop a liking to her. She's killed by Fushiguro who was assigned by the Time Vessel Foundation cult. Her death along with the depraved actions of her assassins would inspire Gojo to take his role as the strongest sorcerer alive more seriously while Suguru would develop his desire to kill all non-sorcerers. |

Code Geass: Subverted with Lelouch's mother Marianne. It looks like her death will be nothing more than a pretext for Lelouch to get revenge on his father, but really she's using another character as her Soul Jar and has been cooperating with his father from the start! Played straight with Shirley's death and Lelouch massacring the entire Geass Order as revenge, but subverted in the Compilation Movie when she survives this time, but Lelouch's other reason to kill them was how potentially dangerous they were. |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy IV: Tellah's daughter, Anna, pretty much only exists to give Tellah and Edward motivation. Otherwise the game doesn't dwell on her death. For Tellah, her running away with Edward kickstarts his joining the party in the first place, and her death at the hands of Golbez's forces serves to trigger his Roaring Rampage of Revenge and eventual Heroic Sacrifice. And it leads to one of the most famous of all Woolseyisms. She is more of a Lost Lenore for Edward, as most of his time with the party is spent moping about her death. However she still primarily serves as a motivating factor in Edward growing a spine. Final Fantasy VI: Setzer's dead girlfriend Darryl only exists in the story to give him some literal last-minute Character Development. This is a similar deal with Locke's girlfriend, the mothers of at least five characters, and Cyan's wife and kid. |

In Stargate, Daniel Jackson ends up with a gorgeous human from another planet for a wife. She's also intelligent and feisty, and affects the plot by rallying her people to drive off the alien overlords. However, in the first episode of the series Stargate SG-1, she gets captured as a host for the Big Bad aliens, setting Daniel's motivation as finding a way to rescue her. But over the course of the series he attracts flocks of alien babes, and in the midst of not refusing their attentions he never seems to remember his wedding vows. To make it worse, when the writers finally remember that he has a wife waiting for him, they spend one whole episode detailing how he finds her and she dies. Now that his motivation is gone, does Daniel quit the team? For about five minutes. To be fair, who in their right mind would want to give up an amazing career studying living offshoots of ancient cultures on other planets, just to go back to a job where EVERY SINGLE PERSON in academia thinks the character is a two-bit hack? |

In Game of Thrones, one of Ramsay Snow's many partners, Tansy, is hunted through the forest and killed by Ramsay's hounds in "The Lion and the Rose" to show the extent of Ramsay's sadism and that of his lover, Myranda. As such, Tansy lacks characterization: that was her first and only appearance. Two of Ramsay's other lovers had been depicted as sharing in his cruelty and psychosis until Ramsay grew bored of them, suggesting that Tansy may have been in a similar position. | |

One of the most infamous examples is the death of Alexandra DeWitt, the then-girlfriend of Green Lantern Kyle Rayner; she was killed by Major Force and stuffed into her refrigerator for Kyle to find. The backlash was so intense that it led to the formation of the Women in Refrigerators group to protest specifically against the preponderance of the Disposable Woman trope in superhero comics. Green Lantern writer Ron Marz wrote a letter to the Women In Refrigerators website, attempting to justify the event he wrote that gave WIR its name. He actually tried to use the fact that Kyle Rayner's girlfriend was meant to be the Disposable Woman from the beginning as an excuse! | |

Spider-Man: A male example from the 1960s: Bennett Brant, Betty's lawyer brother, was introduced and killed in The Amazing Spider-Man (Lee & Ditko) #11 so that Betty could blame Spider-Man for his death and thus throw a spanner in the works of her romance with Spidey's alter ego Peter Parker. Bennett practically never was mentioned or made an appearance again after that subplot ended, and if it was it was to work out the Continuity Snarl that developed when Marvel decided that Betty must be around Peter's age. If Bennett behaved as if he was Betty's younger brother, how could he be an attorney when Peter was still in high school? NYPD police captain Jean DeWolff is killed by Stan Carter. Charlemagne, an intel agent and friend of Wolverine, is introduced in Spider-Man Versus Wolverine #1. Spider-Man accidentally kills her, leaving him deeply upset. Mary Jane Watson appeared to die in an exploding airplane in The Amazing Spider Man J Michael Straczynski vol 2 #13. She got better pretty quick. Kamala Khan dies in The Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #26 and is used in a way to motivate Peter AND a Heel–Face Turn Norman Osborn. |

Taken: The first film's whole plot revolves around this; the reason Kim exists is so that she can be kidnapped, giving her father Bryan an excuse to show what a badass he is. Meanwhile, the purpose of Kim's best friend Amanda is to be killed in order to show that the bad guys are monsters and thus how important it is for Bryan to find Kim ASAP. Bryan's ex-wife Lenore, with whom he is still in love, lives until Taken 3, wherein her murder is what sends Bryan on a third and last quest for vengeance. The prequel TV series has Bryan's younger sister Cali, who's killed in the very first episode. |

Deus Ex: Tiffany Savage (Gary Savage's daughter). She is introduced via Bob Page stating that she was captured by Majestic 12 during an operation to retrieve components for a Universal Constructor, and the next mission has JC attempting to rescue her at a gas station. It's very easy for her to die during this, and it has no real bearing for the rest of the story beyond a couple of alternate lines by Savage (and a potential reward) two missions later. He doesn't even seem too broken up over her death. |

League of Legends: Originally played straight with Lucian's lore, which saw the character seek revenge against his Arch-Enemy Thresh for confining the soul of his barely developed wife, Senna, inside his lantern. Subverted years later, when Senna was turned into a champion of her own and revealed to have been fighting for her life during her years in the lantern, and later become one of the main characters behind a major storyline. | |

The Avengers: Ant-Man: Henry Pym's first wife, a Hungarian émigrée who was kidnapped and murdered by Soviet agents. In Avengers 1959, four former Nazi agents, Axis Annie, Fraulein Fatale, Madame Mauser and Penny Panzer are taken hostage, no longer engaged in combat, and slaughtered off-panel by Sabretooth on the order of Nick Fury, to reassure the audience that Sabretooth is a murderous psychopath. Victoria Bentley, an associate of Doctor Strange, dies in Avengers #366 when Deadpool is fighting Bloodwraith. |

In Kill la Kill, the reason Tsumugu Kinagase is such a grumpy jerkhole is because his sister was a life fiber researcher who lost her life when one of the experiments went haywire. He blames the life fibers for her death and for tricking her into believing that humans and life fibers could ever coexist. | |

In The Last Boy Scout Halle Berry's character Cory is cut down by machine-gun fire in the first third of the film. While her boyfriend, played by Damon Wayans, teams up with Bruce Willis's character to solve her murder, he never seems all that broken up about her death and the snarky, bantering tone of the rest of the film seems incongruous at best in that light. | |

Zig-zagged in The Creator (2023). Joshua's pregnant wife Maya is killed in the initial raid, which makes him uncaring about the war even when he's needed years later. It's only after learning the possibility that she might be alive that he agrees to go on the mission. It was a trap; Maya is the titular creator, the supreme AI known as Nirmata, and the military wanted Joshua involved to lead them to her and finish her off. She's also not exactly alive, but near-death, and Joshua has to shut her down himself so Nirmata can reincarnate, as the AIs are unable to harm her. A simulant with her likeness receives her preserved memories at the end, and stays with Joshua during his Heroic Sacrifice, dying for real this time. Despite her major role in the story, however, she barely gets any screentime, and the most important thing she directly did in the plot is being the mother of Alpha. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Male example: Jesse served this purpose for Willow and Xander in the first episode/s of and was promptly forgotten. LGBT example: Tara's death prompts Willow to become the Big Bad of season 6. The potentials in season seven: a collection of young females with limited character development, a good number of whom are killed off in brutal ways so that Buffy has something else to angst over. They eventually Took a Level in Badass. |

Ace Attorney: The victim in the very first case of the very first game, Larry's girlfriend, is an example of this trope: Larry moves on from her very quickly. Next time we see him, about five months later, he's already dating another woman. Clay Terran in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies is a male example. Supposedly Apollo's best friend, he's never mentioned in the previous game at all. In the game itself, he's killed by the game's Big Bad before we even see him on screen, driving a conflict between Apollo and the rest of the Wright Anything Agency. Tellingly, he isn't mentioned even once in the next game, despite Apollo having an even bigger role there. Clay pretty much exists only to temporarily give Apollo some angst. |

Irene Adler tragically becomes this in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, being killed off in the first few minutes with poison that produces tuberculosis-like symptoms. This one stings because she spends most of the first film (and five minutes of the second) being smarter than everyone else in the room, only to walk into such an obvious trap. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Chi-Chi gets turned into an egg by Buu and then gets stepped on by him, which kills her. Her death serves to motivate her son Goten to take the training in the Room of Spirit of Time (aka Hyperbolic Time Chamber) seriously...for only one scene. By the time he and Trunks fight Buu in their fused form as Gotenks, the kids' motivation to take revenge for their dead relatives is completely forgotten for the sake of a very silly and comedic fight, with Gotenks actively holding back to make the fight more exciting. Later on, when Gotenks learns that Buu has eaten the other members of the Dragon Team, including Trunks's mother Bulma, Gotenks gets angry for one moment, but they continue to do the silly and comedic fight again (although this time Gotenks doesn't hold back, since he's already in his strongest form). | |

The most blatant example is probably Hector's fiancee Rosaly from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, who doesn't even appear onscreen. Her death is purely motivation for his revenge. This would qualify for The Lost Lenore, but his hooking up with Julia - the sister of his wife's murderer - qualifies her for this trope. You'd think that sort of thing would dredge up unpleasant memories every now and then. | |
