When was the last time you came across a soft spoken and submissive female character in Western media?

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.

Moms and grandmas as supporting cast like Sookie's grandma from True Blood or Forrest Gump's mom fit the bill but probably aren't what you're looking for. Roseanne wasn't a girlboss but they killed her on her own show over politics. Willow and Tara on Buffy were both pleasant except for the arc where Willow tried to destroy the world with Satanic hellfire. They're out there.
