I'm gonna throw some love to Princess Peach here.

Sure she gets captured alot, but that doesn't disqualify her. Sometimes a woman needs to be saved. Other times she needs to sneak out of the castle and help save the world. Sometimes she needs to have a weird relationship with a computer. Sometimes she wants to bake a cake for her man and sometimes she wants to throw a blue shell at him. Being strong doesn't mean never needing help, or never doing anything "girly".

And like Aerith, she doesn't seem to be all that bothered by her peril. She's kinda fallen into a state of 'oh, well this is my life, now'. She's a damsel, but she ain't in distress!
