The damsel in distress can fall into situations in which they need saving, but it happens in girls and ladies. Usually she is kidnapped by the story's main antagonist and held prisoner. A damsel in distress can also:

  • get swept away by a river,
  • possessed/brainwashed by an evil entity,
  • chased and attacked by a monster or dangerous animal,
  • transformed into a vicious monster or animal, or
  • caught up in a natural disaster.

Usually, the hero comes to her rescue, but she can also get out of these situations herself, using her own wits and skills. When the heroine gets into trouble and needs help, this can raise the stakes and/or set the plot in motion.
