I want a girl who’s very cool, cunning, sly and maybe even manipulative or Machiavellian. She should be a great strategist and use her intelligence to be cold and calculative to her enemies to outplay them. I don’t mind if the conflict in question is only a game or a real life or death situation. I would also like if she was playful and teased or pranked her friends and have great banter. I don’t mind if she is the protagonist or a main character, but it is preferable if she has her own romance route or has a big impact on the story if not applicable. She can also have great mental and skills but should have some faults to avoid being a Mary Sue. Other characters I know that sort of match some of these traits are Sara from Your Turn to Die for her manipulativeness and charisma, Rin from Fate for hiding her real identity at school and teasing Shirou and Tsuki from Akatsuki no Goei for having great banter with the MC.
My second most liked type of heroine is one who is a weird, quirky, mysterious loner, but who is cool, confident and competent like Wednesday Addams or Rika from the Katawa Shojuo fanfic “Can you open your heart?” and not shy and timid like Hanako from Katawa Shojuo or Mayucchi from Majikoi.
Please give me some examples of heroines that most closely match these traits, preferably the first ones and only the second ones if you don’t know anyone that matches the first ones.
Thanks for the suggestions and have a good day!
