Belonging to her

Damsel's is the possessive form of damsel, an old-fashioned or literary word for a young unmarried woman.

The possessive typically appears in fairy-tale contexts: the damsel's rescue, a damsel's distress.

The word sounds archaic in modern speech, often used ironically or in fantasy settings.
