Looking for a manga that features a heroine with a very carefree kind of attitude and has a very relaxed way of looking at life, if possible. It's interesting, but this kind of character I've found is even rarer than the 'smart' heroine in a sense. Just to demonstrate what I'm talking about, these are the only ones that I have found that even comes close to what I'm looking for.

Holo off Wolf and Spice - Has a very relaxed manner about her in the anime that I really like, she also strikes me as wiser than she acts most of the time.
Yoruichi of Bleach - kinda similar in that the mangaka presents her as a very carefree kind of person. Has very little self-conciousness about her, (and consequently is kind of a pervert in some ways, haha), except when she's serious.

Both are very independent in their own right, kinda adventurous and, particularly with Yoruichi, have a bit of a 'wanderer' spirit about them (as in, she appears one second and is gone the next).

So yeah, looking for heroines like that, particularly in action and adventure types manga's if possible, and would really love it if she was central to the plot as well. thanks!

nagasarete airantou has a lot of carefree heroine, a real lot of them

Hinata from Suki

The heroine of Beauty Pop is apathetically carefree, in the sense that she's so relaxed and disinterested that she often just drops off to sleep, and even when she doesn't, she's got this sort of Zen aura around her... Lol. She's like the Buddha or something... Never bothered/hurt/angry/sad, at least, not visibly.

Main character in Superior .. She is supposed to kill the hero but ends up just following him around and having fun.. A VERY carefree character..

Oresama Teacher
I think she is carefree.. Especially when she starts talking about having a happy normal school life.

I know it's hard to count her since she's a child, but whenever I heard "carefree" I'm always reminded of Yotsuba from Yotsubato!. Sorry if you find this suggestion useless.
