I hate to be that guy..... but the "final girl" trope is more or less confined to the slasher genre (or genres closely related) and doesn't just mean "girl/woman who survives to the end."

Wendy Torrance, for example, does not confront the killer (Danny does). Neither does Reiko Asakawa in Ringu. On the other hand, while What Lies Beneath's Claire Spencer does confront the killer, it isn't a slasher film.

That said, to answer your question: since I can't use Ripley (too obvious), I'll use Ginny from Friday the 13th: Part II.
