A heroine is the main girl or woman in a story, movie, or book - the character everything centers around, and usually someone brave or good. You can also call a real woman a heroine if she does something very brave, like saving people from danger. It's the female match to 'hero', though today many people just use 'hero' for both men and women too.
女主角；(現實中的)女英雄
