Two, the language used when the trope describes \\\"a bonus to someone else\\\" should either a) exclude any character that has a greater function in the plot than as an obvious trophy for the hero, or b) \\\'\\\'include\\\'\\\' any character who is not the primary protagonist or the antagonist, regardless of gender.
