Just off the top of my head...

Kim Possible as the character has just made me laugh so much.

Hermione Granger for being so brilliant and who grows more complicated every year as she should.

Arcadia from Second Foundation (Isaac Asimov) as she was such a believable teen while also being brilliant and destined for history (as an adult which was shaped by her experiences on the run as a teen).

While less believable (yet plausible) was Rynn Jacobs from The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane. She was so incredibly inspiring to me as a teenager myself that when I ran away from home and assumed an alias I took her first name as my new middle.

And similarly, the survivor Astrid Magnussen from White Oleander (one of THE most brilliant books IMO, and the movie isn't bad either though nowhere as comparable).

And finally, Death, because she's so awesome. Death as a perky goth is brilliant and how I symbolically imagine death.

And I simply must add many of the main female (and male) characters in Buffy, Angel, and Firefly (by Joss Whedon). I couldn't decide who's my favorite but overall I love how strong he makes women without (usually) going overboard about it, and like the men they (usually) balance that which makes them strong and that which makes them vulnerable (at least they try) which makes them compelling to me.
