The simplest definition of this is "[[DwindlingParty the last character]] [[SoleSurvivor left alive]] to confront the killer" in a SlasherMovie. The character in question tends to follow a certain set of characteristics. The most obvious one is being (almost) AlwaysFemale. Especially in older works, she'll also [[TokenWholesome almost certainly be a virgin]], remain fully clothed, avoid sex (because SexSignalsDeath), and probably won't [[TheScourgeOfGod drink alcohol, smoke tobacco, or take drugs]], either. Finally, she'll probably turn out to be more intelligent and resourceful than the other victims, occasionally even [[ActionSurvivor evolving into]] a type of ActionGirl by the movie's end. Looking at the SortingAlgorithmOfMortality, you could say that the Final Girl is a combination of TheHero, TheCutie, and the DamselInDistress -- which obviously gives her a very low deadness score. The Final Girl is usually but not always brunette, often in contrast to a [[SlashersPreferBlondes promiscuous blonde who traditionally gets killed off]].
