Two of my favorite characters might fit the bill.
Macross Frontier has a superstar singer named Sheryl Nome among its main characters. She can seem like a bit of a stuck up prima donna early on due to her treatment of a host whom she doesn't feel is taking her concerns about one of her concerts seriously, but ultimately proves to be a compassionate character with incredible drive and determination.
Mai-HiME stars Mai Tokiha, a first year high school student attending a prestigious private academy on scholarship along with her sickly little brother. She's a lot more ordinary than Sheryl in many respects (if you discount her being granted magical powers and being forced to fight alien monsters and all that jazz) but like Sheryl she's both incredibly strong and incredibly human.
I should probably warn you that both characters get put through hell during the later parts of their respective series though. I don't refer to them as strong for no reason.
