Ooh, thank you for this! I was just contemplating how to write my main female protagonists in aeternal_eckho as strong, independent women while still keeping them interesting and real.
I think a good, three dimensional character has a mixture of strength and vulnerability that gets her through her day-to-day struggles, but not so easily that it's not a challenge. And I think she grows and evolves as she faces those challenges both within and without.
