I don't know, those don't particularly fit what I'm looking for, based on my brief skim of the character lists on Wikipedia. I mean a character more like, say, Ibuki Mioda from Danganronpa, or Star from Star vs The Forces of Evil, that kind of character, for those who know either of those characters.

She might only be a detective occasionally, but it's exactly as you describe.

Hyouka, kind of
The first episode is pretty slow but it has hands down the best school festival arc I've ever seen

Milky Holmes is the anime for you

Osaka from Azumanga Daioh.

Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin has best girl Tensai. She is what you are looking for.

Mihoshi.

>>152654616
No. Unless you want to fall asleep at about half the episode.

>>152655927
Yes. This one's the right choice. Also, read the manga.

Kobato.

She solves big mystery and isn't afraid of anything.
