On a serious note:
Eat, Pray, Love (okay not so much a "character" as a memoir but she makes herself very relatable.
The Girl With the Green Dragon Tattoo - really strong female character.
Blue from Special Topics in Calamity Physics.
Plus one vote for Elizabeth Bennett and many of the other JA heroines (except the one from Northanger Abbey and the histrionic one from Sense and Sensibility).
From SF:
Anne McCaffrey's heroines
From Children's Lit:
Anne (of Green Gables) and Pippi Longstocking.
From a purely madcap perspective:
Stephanie Plum from the Janet Evanovich Plum Series.
