i can't think of any within the last 50 years. Even in the 1990's and 1980's female characters in Western media were pretty much all girl bosses.

Sansa's not a good example. She ends up being portrayed as a vengeful mastermind who outsmarts Petyr Baelish. She's portrayed as meek and girly and naive at first, but by the end of the show she's very much a girlboss.
To be fair, she goes through some fucked up stuff. She gets raped by a dog in the books by the way. She earned her crazy bitch card.
I googled soft spoken shy characters, and that Redhead chick from the office showed up as did Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Erin from The Office was cute and meek.
Her character though was more portrayed as a babe-in-the-woods simpleton to be mocked than a true submissive woman.
Ha! - I just posted Willow's GF from Buffy before I saw your comment, she was even quieter than Willow
