Katniss in The Hunger Games is very much a kick-ass heroine in the vein of a Buffy. It's a rather dystopian world that she lives in so life sort of kicks the crap out of her as well, but to make it through that trilogy she's an incredibly strong individual.
I did have to laugh about the Bella/Katniss comparison comment in the EW piece where someone thought that Bella/Katniss were the same because both became suicidal. Er... Bella became suicidal because she was left by her boyfriend. Katniss fell into a depression (if she were suicidal she would have died. No one was stopping her and frankly, the government would have encouraged it) because of a whole shitload of reasons, none of which was her fear of losing her boyfriend.
