Female protagonists who are not straightforward Action Girls (and a good many who are) will be Plucky Girls because of the Anthropic Principle - if she's the protagonist and she gives up for good, the story gets cut short without resolution. You might be able to pile life complications onto this young woman/girl, to the point where the audience would forgive her if she just refused to go on. She might even have an episode or so where she does throw in the towel, because human beings can only take so much of what the universe is handing out for her. But the Plucky Girl always comes back. That's the bravery part.
