What are the qualitites of a hero?

Qualities of a hero are doing something for someone, doing something for ones country/state/county and or so one. My hero from the Fort Henry battle is Elizabeth Zane. She risked her life to run through the field of battle to get some more gunpowder when the supply in the fort ran low. She volunteered because the gunpowder was in her brother Ebenezer's house. No, she wasn't just picked out of a crowd to run over, she volunteered as well as her siblings volunnteered her to. The other fort was only 60 yards away. So, why didn't anyone else want to run just 60 yards away to another fort? The indians didn't fire when she went over because they thought she wasn't a threat, but it was very different on her way back. The indians figured out exactly what she was doing, so the indians started to fire. One bullet wissed by her head, nearly missing her. When she arrived back at Fort Henry she was amazed that not one bullet hit her, except one that went right through her skirt. That is why she is my American Revolutionary war hero.
