Refined and intelligent girls.

Well, I'll start with some examples.
Sample personality traits: ojou (conscientiousness), smart, polite, strict.

Ruri from Oreimo.

Well, she's quite intelligent and thus reserved.
(The important thing is that she's not aloof! Calm characters are often very distant, which I don't like anymore).

Kate from Shadows House.

She's also very reasonable.

Mayuko from Sola.

Mayuko is probably the most reasonable, she is "Kotoko in development".

It's pretty hard for me to characterize these heroines in one way, but I think they're needed to help the main character (or others in general) think. They have very similar voices, mannerisms, and dialogue style.

Yes, she fits, but I already know her.
Maybe there are some more heroines? I just remembered Kotoko (2002) and it turns out she's even older than Shinku. (2004)
Shinku somewhat emphasizes her etiquette. Kotoko emphasizes her intelligence.

If you don't mind waiting a year:
https://myanimelist.net/anime/50739/Otonari_no_Tenshi-sama_ni_Itsunomanika_Dame_Ningen_ni_Sareteita_Ken

The heroine has been voted no1 LN female character this year.

EDIT: You just made me realise a lot of the recent LN female leads are insane. From Inglis Euccus (Goku 2.0) to Tanya (psychopath).

Both Ange (in the top hat and mask near the beginning) and Dorothy (the driver) in Princess Principal are pretty level-headed.



For a level-headed woman in a dramatic setting, Balsa in Seirei no Moribito has few equals.



I like Kate quite a bit myself. I was happy when the second season opened with episodes from her viewpoint.

And I'll be waiting for all the episodes of the second season to come out.
I really like both the personality and the voice in these heroines. Well, as a matter of fact, all the heroines I cited for this thread have voices that strictly match the type. (I don't know how to describe this voice coloring, I extremely like this warm, confident, understated timbre) For me the best version of this kind of voice is Mayuko's.

People rarely see the beautiful in the ordinary. For most, only superficial characteristics are noticeable. It seems to me that the more modern anime is, the more it hyperbolizes the characters.
No one is interested in Kotoko at all (according to various ratings and lists), because to differentiate such a character you have to look into the details, and the modern viewer is not always ready to think.
