Is it possible for a female character to temporarily end up as a damsel-in-distress but still be as capable and compelling as her male counterpart(s) so long as she goes right back to being her badass/strong-willed self (or maybe even undergo character development afterwards in which she grows as into an even greater heroine) once her stint as a damsel is over, or does said damsel moment diminish/dispel her

The example I have in mind is Lunar: The Silver Star (and its remakes) in the characters of Jessica and Mia. Both of them fall ill (I take it this counts as damsel-in-distress since falling desperately ill is just one way to end up as a damsel?) during the Pao/Grimzol\'s Cave/Black Dragon Fortress part of the game, leaving the male party members to brave the accompanying dungeon without them to stop the source of the plague. However, before and after this part, they\'re shown as being every bit as competent and capable as their male counterparts (they actually remain steadfast even as their male counterparts are drowning their sorrows in a bottle late in the game). Upon recovery, neither of them are the least bit deterred from proceeding any further on the quest (they actually get ready to go out looking for the guys upon getting better, but then the guys return to the village before they can do that), and Mia develops into a confident leader over the course of the rest of the game with her mother Lemia acknowledging Mia as a greater hero than she ever was. As for Jessica, she manages to get a [[DamselOutOfDistress damsel-out-of-distress]] moment in the Talon Mines when Xenobia snares her and Mia in magical bonds. While Kyle distracts Xenobia (with Jessica playing along with his act by pretending to argue with him), Jessica eventually manages to break herself and Mia out of their bonds and get away. And as with Mia, NPCs (including Jessica\'s father Mel de Alkirk) acknowledge Jessica as a hero at the end of the game.
And it\'s worth pointing out that the Pao sickness ordeal is over and done with fairly quickly, as it\'s just one small part of the game.
