Donna Noble. Yeeeesss. I would go on about her, but you have done a very good job of saying what needed to be said, and without the number of keyboard smashes that I would have used. (Donna ajfkdlas;fjas)
Georgia Lass, from Dead Like Me, because she is stubborn and sarcastic and strong-headed and doing a very, very good job at what she has to do, considering the circumstances. I mean, she screws up a lot, but that is because she has her own way of doing things and isn't just going to let someone boss her around for what looks like it might be an extremely long time. Someone tells her not to touch the fire when she doesn't know what 'hot' is, and she doesn't just sit there like a coward. She touches the 'fire,' has a bit of a cry or a bitchfit about how much it hurt, and then knows not to do it again. (Or does it again even though it did hurt, because it hurts more not to. Because she is complicated and sad and I love that.)
Oh, and Pam Beesley, who will never not be absolutely adorable, and who, after three years of the show, was like "YOU KNOW WHAT? FUCK PEOPLE WHO WANT TO WALK ALL OVER ME." And then she re-invented herself as Fancy New Beesley and ~followed her dreams~ and just gets more and more amazing/adorable with every episode. Seriously.
Oh, and every woman on board Serenity.
And Rose Tyler. And Eowyn. And Dana Scully. And Jordan Cox. And Sam from American Gods. And Aeryn Sun, and Chiana, and jfaksl;fjas Zhaan.
I got so lazy in this comment so fast. It's astonishing.
