I\\\'m not familiar with the work in question, but just from your example it sounds a little iffy. By my understanding, a Spirited Young Lady is a girl who \\\"bends the rules on what\\\'s ladylike in the 18th-19th century\\\". The trope description suggests that it is somewhat subtle: she has unladylike traits or behaviors, but still fits in well with high society for the most part.
It seems like the example is based mostly on the fact that she has a foul mouth, which strikes me as not so much \\\"bending the rules\\\" as it is \\\"smashing one particular rule with a hammer\\\", which I don\\\'t feel qualifies for the trope.
There is also mention of her not wanting to get married, but I\\\'m not sure how that\\\'s relevant considering the SYL trope says such a lady is independent, but not against the idea of marrying. So, again, I don\\\'t feel that qualifies her for the trope.
