Gatta now:

Ursula K. LeGuin's Earthsea series is definitely worth your time. Like Harry Potter, it's a young person's fantasy, or was until it turned into a classic. Ged is just slow enough on the uptake to be human, and he certainly gets the job done. He's a wizard who lives by his wits.

As for the WW/W and Jenna, well, female protagonists have to live by their wits, since they don't have big muscles, a big sword, a thick skull...

Purrs!

  The main character from Earthsea series.

  I add the Wicked Witch of the West from Wicked, and Jenna from Sister
  Light, Sister Dark.
