But it's pretty inevitable I'm going to go for Toshiko Sato from Torchwood.
So very smart and so very damaged, with a sharp, sly sense of humour and the ability to take, "Oh, you are warped on the inside," as a compliment. And she was just learning to have faith and confidence in herself as a person, as well as a scientist, when I suddenly needed to STABBINATE THE WRITERS.
Also - BOOBIES!
ETA: Oh, if I'm allowed more than one?
Heris Serrano from Elizabeth Moon's Serrano Legacy books. Gives up everything she loves to save the people she's responsible for; discovers it did nothing to save her people; kicks fucking ass to help them and help herself, all the while dealing with a stifling family legacy.
Kathy Selden from Singin' in the Rain. She's got her self-respect and that comes before everything.
