1. Kaylee from Firefly. I love Kaylee because she isn't as strong or skilled or brave as Zoe and River, but she fights just the same. She's unashamed of her sexuality, comfortable in her own skin, not afraid to show love and stand up to authority, and not afraid to stand up to men and tell them they're wrong in a job considered masculine.
2. Eretria from The Elfstones of Shannara. Eretria comes from a sexist Rover society, and somehow makes it work to her advantage. She's beautiful and sensual, and not afraid to use both to further her goals, but she also knows they aren't the only thing she has. She's smart, brave and tenacious, going after what (and who) she wants with determination.
