HEROINE HEADCOUNT: CAROLINE MEREDITH

I should add that I'm using "heroine" to denote "female protagonist." This means that any combative character depicted can fall into any of my four persona-rypes (see this heading on ARCHETYPAL ARCHIVE): the hero, the villain, the monster, and (my own neologism) the demihero.

Here's a good demihero. Caroline Meredith (Ursula Andress), one of the two main characters in THE TENTH VICTIM.  She contends with her enemy Marcello in legal deathsports, using firearms and kung fu for a time, until they figure out that the best way to make each other miserable is to get married.
