I truly like Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games series. She's tough, resilient, smart and a survivor. I loved how strongly her character was portrayed.

And of course Hermione Jean Granger from the Harry Potter series. She's intelligent, elegant, confident and loyal.

I'd like to mention Bathsheba Everdene, the headstrong heroine of Thomas Hardy's pastoral classic, Far from the Madding Crowd.

She rides the horse in a 'traditional masculine fashion' in 19th century England, notwithstanding the fact that such an act was deemed a sexually scandalous thing then. In her very first scene, her independence outshines her vanity and she refuses to be a man's property. Throughout the novel, Bathsheba repeatedly breaks the narrow restrictions forced by the fixed gender roles. Another thing that makes her unconventional is that she's not a saint. Her narcissism and insensitivity yield several unpleasant outcomes. 

Moreover, Bathsheba Everdene is the inspiration behind Katniss Everdeen. The latter's surname is a homage to Hardy's iconic heroine.

Also I love Rosemarie "Rose" Hathaway from The Vampire Academy series. She's bold, independent, loyal and brave.

Shruti🤗 

Unfortunately , I haven't read it. I don't read classics. But from your description Bathsheba sounds a lot like Scarlett O hara?
