Compare BuryYourGays, GayGuyDiesFirst, FauxActionGirl, FinalGirl (the weakest and most innocent girl is the only one to live, but the final girl might counted as androgynous in the context of she [[HollywoodHomely isn't usually stunningly girly beautiful]]), BlackDudeDiesFirst, TheWorfEffect, DeathByPragmatism. Contrast RealWomenDontWearDresses (in which the less feminine woman will survive for being less feminine). Also compare and contrast GirlyBruiser (the most feminine female survives because she can kick ass in addition to being feminine, depending on her role and her comparison between other girls in the team) and LadyOfWar (in which case elegant and graceful fighting counts as feminine). This trope overlaps with TheWorldsExpertOnGettingKilled, where the most qualified person in the whole cast, male or female, is killed early on and often with ease, to ratchet up tension and danger.

* ''{{Film/Underworld 2003}}'': Inverted. Amelia the third vampire elder, although retroactively established as a LadyOfWar in the second film, is introduced wearing a glamorous evening gown and is immediately killed without much of a fight. The film's protagonist is the less feminine Selene, who at one point refuses to wear a dress and cares only about killing Lycans, and of course she survives. The second film also implies the death of the beautiful blonde courtesan Erika, while Selene again survives.

* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'' BarbarianHero & AmazonianBeauty Karlach's storyline revolves around finding a way to avert this, as she's [[YourDaysAreNumbered slowly dying]] due to complications from her UnwillingRoboticisation. To make matters worse, because of her uncompromising valor she's more or less [[KillTheCutie destined to die by the player's hands in most evil playthroughs]]. There's also ProudWarriorRaceGirl Lae'zel and paladin Minthara, who the player has to actively keep from getting killed on multiple occasions. Conversely, while AnyoneCanDie the petite half-elf Shadowheart survives the vast majority of playthroughs as the player has to go out of their way to harm her or [[YouLoseAtZeroTrust incite her betrayal]] (and few would be willing to part with [[HealingMagicIsTheHardest their healer]]).

[[ActionGirl SIE]] (think a female Duke Nukem) can be killed same as the rest of your love interests, but you have to do it yourself after you select her as your handler in the penultimate mission in Russia. Otherwise, she will survive the game, whereas for [[TheLoad Madison St. James]] and [[VoiceWithAnInternetConnection Mina Tang]] just don't have to be rescued when they get captured, and Scarlett Lake can be shot in the last decision you make in the game.
