Looking for friendly and open-minded girls

I would like to see the heroine not just play off an archetype, but have her own unique history, speech, and behavior. Essentially, I'm looking for psychological authenticity within the type of character I'm looking for.

The problem with a lot of modern characters is that they are primitive - they play off only one character trait, and as a consequence they resemble each other, have no unique traits, and are untrustworthy from a psychological point of view.

In this case, in theory I am looking for a type of "genki", but in practice I want to ln was realized in the character as possible multifaceted. Unfortunately, there are few examples.

Anime

Modern TV series. Lafanpan from "Benriya Saitou-san, Isekai ni Iku".
An old-school series. Miu from "Papa no Iu Koto o Kikinasai!".

Visual novels (the eponymous screen adaptations oversimplify the heroines too much)

Ayu from Kanon. Possibly the original archetype. Voice, disposition, dialogue, and behavior create a funny, somewhat silly, friendly, and talkative girl.
Chihaya from Rewrite. (an adult Ayu, basically speaking).
Miku from Everlasting Summer.

Movies

Lily from We Bought a Zoo.

Note:
For a deeper understanding of what "versatility, unconventionality, and true drama" is, I can give Lafiel as an example. To this day, I have not met a character who can reveal the type (archetype) of "tsundere" better. You can take a modern tsundere and compare in terms of psychological authenticity with Lafiel. It's even worse with genki, i.e. there's a tendency for the more modern the anime, the worse the characters in it.

In advance, much appreciated for recommendations!
