When it comes to kick-butt characters, I think one of my favorites is Tris from Veronica Roth's Divergent. Talk about a strong leading lady, this chick knows what she wants, who she is, and doesn't wait around for anyone to rescue her. Tris defies expectations and chooses her own path, not letting anyone get in her way.
Here's a little more about Divergent:
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

I adored Divergent and read it so fast. I was so excited when I had won this in a contest and then I didn't read it. I liked it but I didn't get into it the way I did Divergent. I am going to read it again because I want to finish it. I know 2nd books can be a bit harder to get into especially if time has passed. I was reading a book 2 and actually went back to re read parts of book 1 I felt i had forgotten so much.
