The Hero's Girl Friend

Not to be confused with the Hero's girlfriend.

The one who is the female friend of the Hero. Since the Hero is already likely a guy, the team needs to have a singular girl in order to be sexually diverse. And because she's there, she might as well have some reason to be. The Hero's Girl Friend has numerous roles to choose from, such as the Beauty, Ladette, Heroine (most commonly when she takes the spotlight as the Hero himself cannot), or Nerd (in the sense that she knows a lot about the world around her). In less useful situations, she might take up the roles the Told-Ya-So, Cute Girl, or, if the audience is too unlucky, a Fan Service Doll. As an active member of the Good Guys, the Hero's Girl Friend can be a Healer, Archer, or Support, all roles that can participate in battle and serve the rest of their team. As a female, the Hero's Girl Friend has a very low chance of having a worse moral compass than the Hero and usually is his Voice Of Reason if no one else on his team is.
