My four favourite character traits in women are : (not in any particular order)
Modesty
Candidness
Kindness
Originality
Andre

I loathe the idea that a proper "lady" or "woman of worth" is so generally narrowly defined and that those definitions are designed to keep a woman quiet and unchallenging.

What shall we do with the women not of worth? Perhaps a mass grave. How dare they not conform!
To contribute to the posters idea...
1) Compassion
2) Sense of humour
3) Independent of mind
4) Articulate

She will not conform to or require others to conform to a stupid little laundry list of characteristics in order to be "acceptable" as a partner.
Women have traditionally had the burden of having to be enough -pretty enough, thin enough, feminine enough, quiet enough, etc - in order to attract a man because she's been taught that that is what she's good for. It's oppressive.
So some guy coming along with his little list of how a woman should be to qualify as someone attractive to him, needs to shut it.
