Can be from any kind of media.

For me it's Margot from The Magicians (which is interesting because in the books she is anything but) and Jesse Faden from Control.

Roberta "Bobbie" Draper from The Expanse was the first to jump into my head.

Avasarala is my pick

That’s funny. I also posted Naomi Nagata. While I like Chrisjen and Bobby more, I think Naomi wins for strong independent. General of the resistance, self-marooned insurgent, and the escape of the Chetzmoka.

Cara gee portraying as Camina Drummer.

I think expanse has good characters that work as strong women.
