Vasquez Always Dies	comment	When two Action Girls are featured in the same film, frequently the tougher, more aggressive and less feminine character will die, despite being better equipped for the situation at hand. One of the reasons is the belief that the femininity and sex appeal of a female character determines their usefulness as Love Interest or Fanservice or, in the most insulting cases, their reason to be in the story at all. A more charitable explanation would be that there's much more shock value in killing the tough, competent warrior; that arguably, statistics says the person who runs into danger will have a higher chance of dying; and that leaving the less warrior like one around thus increases suspense, since her survival isn't as assured, especially if Anyone Can Die. It's easier for an audience to feel fear if the Final Girl is less battle savvy and thus more vulnerable — a hardened Vasquez left alone wouldn't be as terrifying. The death of the Vasquez character is thus a form of The Worf Effect or Sacrificial Lion. In some flicks, especially horror, this may inverted as the Vasquez lives while the Ms. Fanservice frequently suffers Sex Signals Death, or if there is a third girl in the cast, both the Vasquez (often a Brawn Hilda) and the Ms. Fanservice get axed while The Cutie and timid Final Girl makes it. Writers will sometimes compensate by making the more attractive woman some sort of mysterious secret agent, thus relegating the Vasquez character to a Mook or Red Shirt by comparison. This may also be a byproduct of filmmakers' insistence that the female lead (who is likely to outlive her supporting cast in an action movie) be significantly more attractive than anyone else. Compare Bury Your Gays, Gay Guy Dies First, Faux Action Girl, Final Girl (the weakest and most innocent girl is the only one to live, but the final girl might counted as androgynous in the context of she isn't usually stunningly girly beautiful), Black Dude Dies First, The Worf Effect, Death by Pragmatism. Contrast Real Women Don't Wear Dresses (in which the less feminine woman will survive for being less feminine). Also compare and contrast Girly Bruiser (the most feminine female survives because she can kick ass in addition to being feminine, depending on her role and her comparison between other girls in the team) and Lady of War (in which case elegant and graceful fighting counts as feminine). This trope overlaps with The World's Expert (on Getting Killed), where the most qualified person in the whole cast, male or female, is killed early on and often with ease, to ratchet up tension and danger. The Trope Codifier has to be Michelle Rodriguez, as most of her roles have done it and more specifically each time. Not to be confused with Jhonen Vasquez always dying in his works. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Mhairi will always die, and of the two female companions who can make it to the end, both the tough, dagger-wielding Sigrun and the long-distance mage Velanna can die...but Sigrun is killed in a decisive way, while in Velanna's case, they Never Found the Body. Inverted in Dragon Age II, where if you make a choice your party members disagree with during the ending and don't have a high enough Friendship or Rivalry score, they will turn against you and force you to kill them... except for Aveline, who merely gives you a brief rant before leaving.

Vasquez Always Dies / int_22147342	comment	Arrow: Season 3's ending scene of the first episode has them kill off Sara Lance, the Canary, who was the show's most prominent Action Girl and one of the most badass of the team (going from her Badass Boast, she's at least tougher than Diggle, but its not clear if she's tougher than Oliver quite yet). What's notable is that besides the fact, its also Bury Your Gays as Sara was bisexual/pansexual, but Sara had spent the previous season believing she was irredeemable that they'd yet to resolve properly, that looked like they were probably building up to a Redemption Equals Death. Instead, Sara is executed by an off-screen villain to kick off the next season without even getting the chance to put up a fight. Then she gets brought back to life and is shoved into the spin-off series Legends of Tomorrow. Meanwhile, her sister Dinah, a lawyer and the new Black Canary, gets stabbed to death by Damien Dahrk. While Laurel is an Action Girl in her own right, she's nowhere near Sara's level.

Vasquez Always Dies / int_35ada324	comment	Alien: Inverted in the first Alien. While Ripley isn't an Action Survivor yet, she might as well be a superhero compared to Lambert. Ripley lives while Lambert... well, let's just say it still gives people nightmares. The Trope Namer is from Aliens, in which the chinup-pulling, smartgun-wielding Colonial Marine Vasquez dies, as opposed to the maternal civilian, Ripley. Now you could excuse Ripley surviving since she's the star, but the film gives the impression that Vasquez is simply too badass to live. It's also an Unbuilt Trope as most of the cast dies in this film and Vasquez is one of the last women to dienote there is at least one other female Marine who bites it when the xenomorphs first show up, and the female dropship pilot also is killed halfway through the movie, along with "feminine girl" Ripley not being your traditional untrained civilian, as she's proven to be a sarcastic hard ass both in this and the original film. In addition, Ripley herself puts herself in the front row of the action as opposed to most examples of this trope, taking charge of the marines as the leader and planner when the officer is knocked out and the team is panicking from the catastrophe. Prior to any of the violence, Ripley is also shown doing traditionally male jobs such as piloting and dock work, thus also subverting the trope in that the "less masculine survivor" isn't necessarily a feminine preppy girl. Averted in the later sequels, by which time Ripley has become significantly more determined, brave, and masculine. She's the only female cast member in AlienÂ³, but dies in a Heroic Sacrifice. In Alien: Resurrection, both the butch and violent Ripley 8 and the feminine and fragile Call survive. In fact, Hillard, a secondary Action Girl who's somewhere in between the former two, is killed instead.

The SWAT team member Rain Ocampo (Rodriguez) becomes a Zombie Infectee a third of the way through, survives almost all the way through the rest of the film, and then dies on a tram a few minutes away from a cure. Blonde, minidress-wearing Alice (Milla Jovovich) becomes the Final Girl. Much like the trope namer, however, Rain outlives nearly everyone else, and Alice's survival skills are plenty justified as an undercover security agent. The Resident Evil Film Series lasted long enough that they brought Rain back via cloning for the fifth film, only to die again...twice!

To make matters worse, because of her uncompromising valor she's more or less destined to die by the player's hands in most evil playthroughs. There's also Proud Warrior Race Girl Lae'zel and paladin Minthara, who the player has to actively keep from getting killed on multiple occasions. Conversely, while Anyone Can Die the petite half-elf Shadowheart survives the vast majority of playthroughs as the player has to go out of their way to harm her or incite her betrayal (and few would be willing to part with their healer).

Lindsay isn't — and manages to avenge Decottis. A later episode, "Last Minute Resistance" from Season 4 subverts this trope on a sliding scale involving a date rapist on the loose. Burgess gets drugged and cornered by him and narrowly fights him off. Her more feminine sister and her sister's equally feminine friend aren't so lucky and the friend is the one who does the dying.

Vasquez Always Dies / int_a6492af2	comment	Dayna Jurgens in The Stand is Vasquez. Never send this character alone into a high risk infiltration; they're guaranteed to go out in a blaze of glory. Not invoked with Sue Stern until the release of the extended version. In the original, Sue dies in the explosion set by Harold, along with a number of others, but she's just one of the people who joined Stu and Fran's party along the way. In the extended version, we see that Sue was one of the victims of a "rape gang" who rounded up women survivors. During the shootout that kills off the gang, Sue brains her captor with the butt of a rifle ("And if he were sitting here, I'd do it again"). The illustration shows her looking buff, t-shirted and rage-demonic, very Vasquez.

Also to be noted that all in all, the girls die out in order of usefulness. Jupiter was the strongest, so she died first. Mercury's analysis capabilities were too useful when the enemy was unknown, so she died second. Venus was the most experienced and competent so she died third. Mars was ostensibly the least suited to the situation, so she died last. And Sailor Moon was the most feminine (sort of, or at least the least competent) so she survived (again, sort of).
