Juliet is incredibly brave. She is willing to betroth herself and marry the son of her family's enemy, risking all their displeasure and anger. She is willing to reject her parents' command that she marry the County Paris, despite the fact that her mother and father basically threaten to cast her out into the street if she disobeys them. She is willing to take a terrifying drug that will make her seem dead, undergo her own funeral, and wake up in a tomb. The fact that she's so brave at thirteen years old is pretty incredible.
Further, she really knows her own mind. Once she determines what she wants, there is little (or nothing) that can dissuade her. Not even her trusted nurse, who's really been more like a mother to her than her own mother has, can persuade Juliet to abandon the marriage to Romeo and try for happiness with the County Paris. She's a very determined young woman, for sure.
