I think you may be confusing fantasy and adventure there. I find that fantasy can be so much more than fighting, whether referring to fighting against people or monsters. I want to focus primarily on the concepts of magic, flora, and fauna representative of a fantasy world.
In this case, the concept will be more centralized in terms of location. Limited to a single town, or so my thought process stands now. Very rarely will the character be in a location that she's unfamiliar with, but the situations that unfold within such location is what changes.
I have a couple ideas of how to go about this, but the one I'm most focused on is the concept of having her be an apothecary. It allows me to write her with a role that could potentially be filled without having sight, instead relying on her senses of touch, taste, and smell. If I introduce magic into the mix, I can even cover extra-sensory bits through the use of said magic, but it would be mostly minor things. Haven't ironed out those details yet either.
I can see the superhero thing becoming an issue, true. While Daredevil is a personal favorite of mine, it's not exactly my goal in this instance. It'll take a lot of careful planning to avoid that.
I'm not set in a lot of these details, and my lack of information is what's preventing me from putting things together in a way that feels right. I definitely agree that it's going to be quite the challenge.
