NCIS fans are still split when it comes to their favorite female character, sparking ongoing debates across the fandom. From Kate Todd to Ziva David, each has left a lasting impact on the series, with Ziva often topping fan rankings by a wide margin.
However, Kate still maintains a loyal following, while others continue to support newer additions like Ellie Bishop. The discussion remains active, with fans regularly debating who truly deserves the title of the show’s best female character.
In a recent Reddit poll by u/Ncisroleplayer97, Ziva David came out on top with 498 votes, reaffirming her popularity within the franchise. The poll also sparked criticism for excluding fan-favorite characters such as Ellie Bishop and Abby Sciuto, with many users arguing they deserved more recognition.
Fans also questioned some inclusions in the list, but overall, the debate highlights the strong emotional connection viewers still have with the series. Despite differing opinions, one thing is clear—NCIS fans remain passionate about their favorite characters, especially the enduring legacy of Ziva and her dynamic with Tony DiNozzo.
