Y/N was not like the other girls,

She has a sharp tongue and was sarcastic and certainly does not need a man to come and save her. She preferred pants to dresses and likes to put her hair up in a messy bun. But underneath her cold exterior was a fragile, pure-hearted soul. She has never experienced love and isn't planning to either. 

Bam. Just nailed the description of 50% of the lead female characters in fanfictions.
