Well, Scarlett O'Hara isn't much of an adverturess, but she was definitely spunky. All of Edith Wharton's characters are kinda annoying. Anne of Green Gables might not have had the type of adventures you're speaking of, but she certainly had plenty (and dreamt of even more!). I can't seem to think of anything by George Sand off the top of my head, but I'd be surprised if she didn't have some good characters.
I'm afraid I wasn't much help...but I hope I at least got some juices going!
