Anti-Heroine
An "Anti-Heroine" is a female character who lacks traditional heroic qualities, such as morality, bravery, or idealism. Instead, she often displays flaws, complex motivations, and morally ambiguous behavior. This character type challenges conventional notions of heroism and can be found in various forms of media, including literature, film, and television.
Examples of anti-heroines include characters like Jessica Jones from the Marvel Comics universe and Amy Dunne from the novel and film "Gone Girl." These characters often resonate with audiences due to their relatable struggles and imperfections, making them compelling and multifaceted figures in storytelling.
