What?

Shorthand/jargon, originating in the comic book industry/fandom (based on one particularly ugly incident), for the unfortunately common trope of female characters whose purpose/existence in the story is solely to be killed or abused in order to motivate a heroic male protagonist.

(For one thing, it's almost vanishingly rare for it to be the other way around.)

Ah, yes then it is very accurate. :-) She is also there for some sympathy for the main character's pain. This is just me writing after not having written anything in years. I plan for it to be a short or even a short short. Mostly testing an a new way of designing a story. Hint, remember my posts about morals? I hope it turns out to be at least entertaining but I am not expecting Niven's level or anything. LOL
