Does the fact that you felt the need to clarify that say more about you or us?
I'm not so sure, actually. I suppose you could equally convert it to Heroine Rescues Prince. (For some reason I now have a mental image of Lancelot in that scene from Monty Python.
Not entirely sure why.)
Unless you are going strictly by the oldies.
But excellent point, there is a
