I just did a marathon of the first four movies, the Alien Quadrilogy and kept track of all that Sigourney Weaver character goes through in the course of 4 films.

To start even when we first meet her, she is in space having left her 11 year old or so daughter at home. Even with her survival she will never see her daughter or anyone from home ever again. Ever. The first film is to the point and beautiful, an alien comes on board she has to witness it burst out of her buddies chest killing him, all her teammates are killed so she is left alone with a cat to fight off an ugly scar alien herself. Its traumatic. Also the cyborg they brought along she thought she could trust turned on them..but she makes it out alive

Only to wake up in the sequel 57 years later. She finds out her daughter who was 66 just died at home before she awoke. She's talked into going to a colony by another person who will betray her just to fight off more aliens. Everyone she gets to know is killed...the two survivors HIcks and little girl Newt she goes back into danger multiple times to save and risk her life to save the little girl multiple times because of a mother/daughter connection to make it to Safety...

Just to find both were killed off screen while she was in orbit. All that time and energy spent bonding with a little girl who lost her entire family just for her to be lost just like that...oh also Ripley is now pregnant with an alien and is the only woman on an all male prison planet? Again everyone she meets or in case of a Lannister develops feelings for killed for her to survive just to realize she must kill herself now. After all the effort of several films to survive she now wants nothing more but to die, though its the only option and would put her at peace finally in a way...

Just to be woken (cloned) again in 4th film. She finally made peace to die and now they bring her back again except she's not fully herself and she birthed an alien.. the fact its also 200 years in the future is also probably exhausting as well but again she must fight and kill her alien children and finally does make it to earth after hundreds of years except she's not really herself and earth is nothing like earth to her by now anyway.

Like, damn, her story has a lot of suffering.
