Maheer is the masculine gender for this adjective. The feminine form is Meheerah.
I would suggest a nickname widely used here in Israel for people with certain qualities. The nickname is Gingy (m.) or Gingit (f.), where all the g's are pronounced as in "gin", not as in "gun". The primary meaning is Redhead, but according to the common usage of the name, being a redhead implies a certain type of personality, rather than just a color. It is an accepted "fact" that redheads are blessed with that kind of personality. A black, brown or blond person may be a Gingy/Gingit at heart if they are lucky.
These are some of the implied qualities: nifty, sharp, chutzpah (in the good sense of the word, not offensive), playful, the very opposite of bashful or awkward, quick-witted, wicked sense of humor. A Gingy/Gingit will be thinking outside of the box and will overcome any challenge by finding an unexpected solution. Being called by this name is deemed a praise.
While the name usually describes spiritual mobility and sharpness rather than physical, I have got a feeling that it describes your daughter pretty well - that she is the coolest Gingit ever.
Congratulations on your upcoming adoption!
