he·ro n. A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life.
her·o·ine n. A woman noted for courage and daring action.
Usage Note: The word hero should no longer be regarded as restricted to men in the sense a person noted for courageous action, though heroine is always restricted to women. The distinction between heroine and hero is still useful, however, in referring to the principal character of a fictional work, inasmuch as the virtues and qualities that become a traditional literary heroine like Elizabeth Bennet or Isabel Archer are generally quite different from those that become a traditional literary hero like Tom Jones or Huckleberry Finn.
