Relationship between Sam and Drake Hayden

I've become indecieve of how both mine and Amir's characters come across. On one hand i want my character (Sam) to be independent and tough like Clair Redfield out of Resident Evil. The picture below shows brother and sister Chris and Clair Redfield out of Resident Evil 4.

As you can see on the left both are shown as equal in strength with nothing suggesting that one is weaker than the other. In the film we are shown just how similar the siblings are both showing strenght, bravery and determination which is something i would like to create with our characters. If you watch the link underneath the photo you will see them both fighting and showing the same amount of toughness which i think is really good as it doesnt favor the one gender as better. The part that i looked at is from the start to 2 minutes and then from 3minutes and 3 seconds to the end showing the relationship and the similarities. 


However on the other hand i want to show the sterotypical representation of the women/girl being shown as the more weaker and dependent character like the characters Kmart and Carlos out of Resident Evil 3.
As you can see on the left both are shown differently, Carlos is shown as the strong and protective male and Kmart is shown as the dependent and feeble female which is something i would like to create with our characters. In the film we are shown how different the characters are as its always Carlos who is upclose and personal towards characters and is the main character in the fight scenes and always takes part. However Kmart is told to hide and keep away from the action for fear of her saftey and that the only thing she can do is watch and hope they will all come out okay. If you watch the link below you'll see just how dependent and vunerable Kmart is in the film and if you watch from specifically between 1minute 40 and 1minute 50 you'll see Kmart's weak side and Carlo's strong and protective side as you see him risk himself to save her and subsequently later pays the price for it.
