I am tired of Female Leads that are loud and Obnoxious, or quiet, timid, and weak. I want to see some female leads that can wow us away. I would like them to be the MAIN CHARACTER. Not a side, or love interest to the main character, or anything like that. Please do not recommend mangas like Special A, Maid-Sama, or Hana Yori Dango.
Just because they are conventionally strong, smart, or leader-like does not mean the are the real Deal. From what I can recall, they fell in love for a reason that I have yet to understand with Guys that are douchy and rude. They have their moments; But they are few. I am looking for characters like -
1/2 Prince She was amazing. She made mistakes, was Bishy crazy and was not the brightest, yet she is one of my favourite Leads. she had real character design that made her relatable and cool.
Saver Absolutly stunning. Strong, independent, cool, unbreakable, leader-like with decent flaws and perfect imperfections. She is a true Saver.
Nononono She was a little timid and kind of a crybaby, but that added to her charm. She had strong will, and strong talent that led her to defying society and everyones expectations. She was real.
I don't care about genre or length, I prefer Completed, but I don't mind if it's not. Please do what you can, I know I'm not the only one looking for things like this. Thank you.

I really liked Chinami from Yuugure Light for her outspokenness and independence as she led her life.
I can also second Basara, Joou no Hana, Chang Ge Xing, and Shuto Heru, of which all the following are historical. I would also highly recommend Oresama Teacher, which, although more lighthearted compared to the mentioned above, is also pretty emotionally impressive (once you get to know the characters at least).

Most awesomest female lead must be Holo from Ookami to Koushinryou (Novel), but there are others...
Fenglin Tianxia - Wangfei Shisansui
Kaibutsu Oujo
Jormungand
Dance in the Vampire Bund
Hoshi no Samidare
Meteor Methuselah
Special award goes to Maou-jou de Oyasumi where a tiny human princess scares the crap out of all sorts of demons and monsters just by trying to sleep...

I love these kinds of characters. It somehow feels like I see more of them in anime, though.
Manga adaptation only:
Miriam - Complete. Wild west historical. Cowgirl female lead, lots of action and there's a sequel.
Otogimoyou Ayanishiki - Complete. Love this girl. Japanese historical fantasy.
Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni - Complete. Japanese historical. Has won several awards.
Has anime adaptation as well:
Chihayafuru - Ongoing manga, several anime seasons probably with more on the way.
Saiunkoku Monogatari - Completed manga, not all scanslated, finished anime. An all-time favorite character.
Juuni Kokki - Ongoing manga, concluded anime. Lots of character growth here.
Kemono no Souja - Ongoing manga, concluded anime.
Kino no Tabi - the Beautiful World (SHIOMIYA Iruka) - Concluded anime, beginning manga adaptation (was originally a novel)
All of these are personal favorites, and I second Seirei no Moribito and Ichi.

Well, now an amazing female lead is right up my alley, so here are a few I think you should give a chance:
Beauty Pop (she's so goddamn amazing at what she does, and that laid back calm attitude is simply to die for, it's completed so that's a bonus)
Koi dano ai dano and warau kanoko-sama (the former is the sequel of the latter, the mc, Kanoko is really observant, smart and confident)
Gosick(She's like the Victorian Gothic Lolita version of Sherlock Holmes)
Yakusoku no Neverland (Emma is a lot more than what she seems in the beginning. Plus there's an anime too,so yay)(it was actually just released this year, so I wouldn't be too surprised if you've read it already)
Ayeshah's secret(she's really manipulative,but also awesome)
Innocent(female mc comes quite a bit later in the story, but she definitely steals the show when she's on)
Sprite(She's self-reliant and independent so it's really admirable)
Mrs Angel(A former gangster turned housewife, goddamn mind-blowing)
