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
