Trigger Girl

A character in a piece of media who enters into the story as one of the most powerful, charismatic, and almost always morally-correct characters. If they have any character flaws, it will be because they "care too much" or are "hot-headed" despite winning every fight they have. Unlike a Mary Sue, the story does not revolve around the Trigger Girl and the plot will resolve around things a Trigger Girl can't beat into submission (e.g. solving a mystery, fixing a broken family, being a side character)

a likely benefit triggers action

People and animals decide how to act based on a sophisticated and usually subconscious cost /benefit analysis they conduct.
People and animals have already run a cost/benefit analysis of each behavior they repeat, and know the benefit(s) repeating each of those actions will yield.

When a human or an animal foresees that it is very likely that a specific action will produce a specific benefit, he or she will execute it.

Thus, "a likely benefit triggers action."
