someone like light yagami from death note and kurosawa from onani master kurosawa.

id prefer if the character is someone who isn't afraid of dying and is aware he/she is above everyone just like miho from ISLAND.
examples:
1)a killer wants to kill her but she doesnt beg for her life but instead tell him to do it quick
2)she is smart n some ppl doesnt want to argue anymore bc of her sharp tounge and thorn-ish aura.
3)she was abt to get raped, didnt cry but would rather bite her tongue off n kill herself
4)aware of her beauty

long story short, not a cliche character who'd cry and beg in tough situation. someone with a strong mental. someone tough, doesnt depend on anyone too much and can think for himself/herself.

i dont mind female or male, shounen or shoujo. as long as the character is as stated above.

no historical. i prefer something modern.

Arrogant characters then?

Shokugeki no Soma has a bunch of them
perhaps High Score Girl lol
Rising X Rydeen if you don't mind harem

Kanie from Amagi Brilliant Park
