HER

A curated list of smart, cunning, strong and/or intelligent female protagonists. At heart, she is a survivor or plays to the tune of her own string. She "wins the war" or is fighting for it and does not give up. 

In no particular order, the earlier ones are usually the ones I've already completed and the later ones are the ones I'm reading.

Discontinued (a real shame). 5/5.

One of the worst situations a FL can find herself in. She meets an odd boy who will help her achieve her goal. Her strength is commendable considering she's only a High school? student.

No ML (I think...)

FL is family first. Her sister (the saint) went missing? presumed dead? but she doesn't believe that and she was punished/banished for "looking for trouble" which leads her to beg from her enemies (the demons) to enact her revenge on those that abandoned her and her sister.

Oh and she's a princess. Oh and there's no ML? 4/5

Completed. 5/5.

FL (the blonde) went through a childhood trauma to get where she is now (teen). She vows to banish AKA exorcise spirits causing mayhem and trouble throughout Japan. Her family has a shamanistic, exorcism, spirit-related reputation.

The character expressions are priceless here. FUNNY AS HELL.
She marches to the beat of her own drum.
