Now, 21 hours after with 107 votes, I find it fascinating how exact my estimation was. Ripley has 80% by now. I guessed 70% - 90%. 80% Is exact in the middle.

These are mostly women (in fact, maybe all of these characters are women) so I strongly suggest saying "Women," not "girls." If one or two are girls (under the age of approximately 21), "Women and Girls" is fine.

Oh and my vote: Ripley. Although I haven't seen all of them, I can't imagine a character better than Ripley. : )

It's a very established term. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_girl

True! It mostly applies to horror movies, because there are mostly very young women, but it really is a term with no negative connotation. The term is connoted to strong females that smash the beast!

It might be good with a short explanation of the term "final girl". And I'm not sure if a TV series should be included since the term is typically used for movies. The series is ongoing so we don't know if she will eventually die. Or does she become a "final girl" by the end of the first season? I haven't seen the show.
