Line 136:
* From ''[[Harry Potter]]'': Lily Potter (standing between the Dark Lord and her baby without a second thought) [[Heroes Want Redheads|Ginny Weasley]] ([[Cute Witch]] who does what she can to help Harry and Co.), [[Insufferable Genius|Hermione Granger]] (member of the Golden Trio and [[Magical Girl Warrior]] extraordinaire), and [[Cloudcuckoolander|Luna Lovegood]] - though it's hard to say with her what is indomitable pluck and what is sheer [[Cloudcuckooland]] training.
* Lisbeth Salander in Stieg Larsson's ''[[The Millennium Trilogy|Millennium]]'' series occasionally teeters on the border between "Plucky Girl" and "[[Heroic Sociopath]] Girl".
* Maree Mallory of ''[[Diana Wynne Jones|Deep Secret]]'' has "sheer if not-always-nice pluck" as one of her defining character traits. How much of a fighter is she? {{spoiler|At one point, ''she permanently loses half her soul.''}} Most people die within hours of this happening. Maree not only fights back, she ''walks miles'' to recover {{spoiler|in Babylon}}. To put things in perspective, the only other person to survive this, that we know of

Hell, Mavra's probably ar her most dangerous when she doesn't even have any hands.
* Lia in ''[[Skinned]]'' by Robin Wasserman. Despite getting in a car accident, having her [[Brain Uploading|brain put in an android]], her friends abandoning her, her sister sleeping with her boyfriend, and people believing she doesn't deserve to exist, she still keeps going.
