I have always been drawn to female characters who are realistically strong, not bad ass warriors, but sly, cunning, clever women or women who are brave and loyal till the end; that kind of character speaks more to me than Ms. Marvel ever did

Zinnia, I don't know how you feel about Victorian novels, but the Anthony Trollope's Palliser novels contain exactly the sort of female character you like in the personages of Lady Glencora Palliser and Madam Max Goesler. The former in particular I seriously consider to be among the best developed characters in all literature. Anyway, I just couldn't help myself recommending those to you. They're so terrific but sadly almost unknown in the United States (where I am; I don't know where you live) except among really weird literary types.
Oh I see, funny thing is I've one bad ass warrior but she's also shy, and icy, but trying to improve in one story. She's not strong as Ms Marvel but rather a spear-woman who will be struggling alongside her love interest and his two friends. She's more like Eowyn than anything though slightly less perceptive but she gets there.
And I've two shy and clever, if brave and loyal girls in another story, one of them is primarily loyal to her surrogate older brother, and to her younger brother.

There is a well done BBC series from the 70s called The Pallisers I recommend as well. Glencora is great.

I think you've taste that is similar to my own.
If youтАЩve never seen Alias Grace, I recommend it then.
