Look at Jamie Lee Curtis in the Halloween franchise. Babysitter fighting for her life.
How about Neve Campbell in the Scream franchise? Her mother was murdered the year prior and now someone is trying to kill her and starting with her friends.
In Sci-Fi, look at Sigourney Weaver in the Alien franchise.
