damsel in distress

Pauline From Super Mario Odyssey

Pauline was Mario’s original love interest before Princess Peach was introduced. She is the damsel-in-distress in the arcade game Donkey Kong. She returns in the 2017 game Super Mario Odyssey, now as the mayor of New Donk City.

Olive Oyl

Always the damsel in distress, Olive Oyl is Popeye’s main squeeze, who he often has to rescue from his nemesis Bluto. Though she can be fickle with her feelings and absentminded, ultimately she is devoted to her hero Popeye.

Princess Peach

Always the damsel-in-distress, Princess Peach has a pretty standard style as far as royalty is concerned. Extremely feminine and sweet, her look is also easy to recreate. All you need is a pink prom dress and long white gloves. Top the look off with a tiara and you are sure to attract your own Italian plumber in no time.

Jenny Blake from The Rocketeer

In The Rocketeer, Jenny Blake is an aspiring actress whose relationship hits the rocks when her boyfriend Cliff’s visit to the movie set leads to her getting fired. The movie director makes up with Jenny and attempts to seduce her — but not to date Jennifer Connelly. No, to get his hands on a jet pack.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth is a 21-year-old woman who has been imprisoned in a town called Columbia since she was five years old. BioShock Infinite, the new game developed by Irrational Games, centers around a private investigator, Booker DeWitt, on a mission to retrieve Elizabeth from the flying city and save her from her captor: a monstrous, winged creature called the Songbird.
