The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
You've got several tropes here:
- Even the Girls Want Her - "both genders admire her, even pine for her"
- Good Bad Girl - a heartbreaker with a heart of gold
- Defrosting Ice Queen - a variant where she's initially aloof as well as a heartbreaker
- Tsundere - best summed up by the classic "It's not like I like you or anything, stupid."
- Spirited Young Lady - she's a free spirit, only willing to settle down with the right person.
- Plucky Girl - similar to the previous, but a little more on the... rambunctious side. Gumption is another good word here.
Yeah, my sister didn't really understand how this works, only that I post her question here.

She understands correctly; all of those will have examples of what she seems to be looking for.
^The OP isn't asking for tropes, they said their sister is looking books, films, and television series with those types of female characters.
@OP: It's be better to ask in You Know That Show.

I think you're not seeing the forest for the trees here- if she wants stories with that sort of character, the examples sections of each of those tropes I gave you lists works with that sort of character, sorted by media. Tons of works there for her to check out.
My sister is looking for books / films / japanese or western animation, with a specific kind of female character, where: - she's a Gender Flip of The Casanova; - or a stereotypical heartbreaker; - popular, and people of the opposite or both genders admire her, even pine for her; - in the end of said film/book, they get Character Development, fall in love with the main lead, and stop being a heartbreaker altogether
P. S. Preferably in the following genre: historical romance
