No, no, no. She won't
get the Ring, that's just vulgar. It'll be her engagement Ring from, um, well, that part's secret.

Usually, when women in movies are fighters, they are the ONLY woman present, and actually just serve to be eye-candy for the men seated in the audience. In the end, they always need to be rescued. Bottom line? Either give me a female fighter with emotional flaws that doesn't need to be saved every two minutes, or don't give me a female fighter at all.
