Lunella Lafayette doesn't need saving! She's got her own brain and science on her side. I loved her backpack, always full of something of her own invention to help out in any situation. And no matter how well her ideas actually work, or how others see her, her belief in herself never falters. 
 "Why is it that everyone keeps wasting my time? I FIX things...I'M not going to let ME down." 
 "I'm no wizard...I'm a scientist!" 
 "I'm the boss of my own body. Nobody gets to tell anybody who or what they can or can't be."
