Buffy had a lot of awesome female characters (as well as quite a few awful ones) so this is another toughish question.
However, Willow is my answer - she's my favourite character. In many ways I feel of all the people's lives Buffy influenced for the better, it was probably Willow on whom she had the biggest influence.
She went from the ultra bight, shy, wouldn't say boo to a goose girl who wasn't cool and who people just over-looked or didn't care about to this awesome and powerful witch who could stand up for herself, who fought vampires and demons - even though at least to begin with she was always scared. Of course she also nearly destroyed the world when she became completely dark Willow but she was still awesome. And Vamp Willow was great too.
She really was a superb character.
