The PC is canonically female though.
There was a D&D novel called Azure Bonds about a female. They later made a video game called Curse of the Azure Bonds. I haven't played it, but I believe it's like kotor in this respect: you can make a M or F char, but the story was canonically F, because of the book.

In the specific case of your rules for RPG I don't think I remember any.
But theres 'Venetica'.
Does this one count?
--edit:
Oh.
darren33: Venetica.
dtgreene: In particular, the criterion I like to use is that the success or failure of an action (for example, hitting an enemy with a physical attack) is determined by the character's abilities (and possibly dice rolls/RNG), not the player's skill.
darren33: Ok, I didn't notice it, nevermind. That's a tough one.

-Not sure if it's considered a wrpg or not, I don't dig that deep into games lol.

-edit-
Didn't completely read the OP, but that's one heck of a criteria now that I've fully read it.

KOTOR 2 still fits though.

Definitely JRPG there, in terms of gameplay, irrelevant of where it was made.

You set up the requirements so rigidly that they almost exclude each other. A WRPG as you define it will usually be party-based and/or have a customizable main character, often with gender choice. Fantasy games with a fixed character tend to be more on the action side and usually won't fit your definition of a WRPG.
Since, for a change, you didn't explicitly exclude real-time games as RPGs though, maybe (Kult:) Heretic Kingdoms: (The Inquisition) would still fit. It is a Diablo-style game, but despite being real-time and the need to click more or less quickly, such games would still fit your criteria of being based on stats / character abilities. And the main character of the first Heretic Kingdoms game has to be female.
A rare game that might fit all of your criteria is Winter Voices, a very obscure indie RPG about battling inner demons, with female protagonist, tactical turn-based combat and ... focus on story, delivered in purple prose writing (you might not like this last aspect about it).

Someone already said KOTOR 2, so I'll mention A Dance With Rogues module for Neverwinter Nights. WRPGs are otherwise open ended affairs when it comes to player expression, except I suppose in regards to games like Deus Ex: Human Revolution which is kind of stuck up its own ass since it's more concerned with presentation over substance.

You should probably know by now that OP is a JRPG weeb whose shtick is their obsessive nature with cataloguing every tiny aspect of early turn based RPGs, being overly narrow and specific in their criteria. I'll give them credit, they're at least open minded towards trying WRPGs, unlike many obnoxious internet dwellers who seem outright racist towards WRPGs or any western developed game for that matter.
EDIT: I realize this may be disrespectful towards the OP and I do not mean it in an insulting way, simply observational.

You can't really have an 'official' gender for The Exile when the game itself is no longer in continuity- unless they've specifically reconfirmed it post reboot, at least.
(personally, I think Revan fitted far better as female than The Exile anyway, and not just because Handmaid>>Disciple)

Most of the games I can think of are player creation, as rpgs are generally about character diversity. Older games were generally het white male, eventually adding female, and later black options. But most were/are player creation. Off the top of my head, without verifying:
Baldur's gate = creation
TOEE = het white creation
gothic = het white male
pool of radiance = white creation
kotor = creation (female canon)
dragon age origins = creation
VTMB = preset creation
VTMR = het white male
fallout = white creation
kings bounty = white creation
mass effect = het white creation (I think)
mount and blade = creation (is it an rpg?)
dark messiah = het white male
might and magic = white creation
planescape torment = het white male
witcher = (haven't played, I think het white male)
NWN = creation
ultima = het white male
deus ex = het male
jade empire = het asian creation
eschalon = het white male
Games in a series may have different values for certain iterations. While the following aren't rpgs, they do have female leads:
Cat Lady - PNC - middle aged woman dealing with severe depression and suicidal ideation has a supernatural encounter
NOLF - FPS - a female james bond in the 1960s with campy gear (I found it too sexist)
Oxenfree - PNC - a teen female and some friends have a supernatural expeience on a camp out.
