Just a question. Is there a reason why Female Corrin, Sharena, Edelgard, and Female Alear are not considered heroines?

With the exception of Sharena, it’s because they’re all main lords. The point of the heroine archetype is that they serve as close companions and possibly the intended love interests to the main lord of their respective games. Lords only count as part of the Heroine archetype if it’s clear that they’re favoured less than the other lord(s) of their respective games.
Take Lyn for example, she’s a lord and she counts as part of the Heroine archetype because, after the first 10 chapters, she takes a backseat to Eliwood and Hector for the rest of the game.
If I had to guess, Sharena probably doesn’t count because she gets Demoted to Extra after Book I.
Feels like the Miloah is just a list of dead parents.
When it happens to the lord it's a major plot point or crossing of a threshold. When it happens to supporting cast i'm not sure if it's that notable. It feels like page bloat or just creating an archetype for archetypes sake.
Some of them don't even have Nominal Importance which the current description acknowledges.
