I see what you are saying with your analogy with Indiana Jones and Lara Croft.. looking for a female "super soldier" type, as Ventrue put it. Im drawing a blank though when trying to think of any character that could be classified as such, other than Tank Girl... haha
If you don't want a lot of work, you could always just do a marine. There were plenty of girl marines in Halo.
You pretty much just need the helmet, or not even. Just get some bike pads, something that looks like a helmet, a gun, and whatever else.
