Ellie, Keri Russell's character in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, is pretty soft spoken and somewhat submissive. What's more, she's shown to be caring and compassionate, a motherly, caregiving figure. Come to think of it, that trilogy of movies is actually surprisingly well written with good messaging about sons and fathers, legacy, brotherhood, and stoicism.
