Ziva David
Played by: Cote de PabloBio
Ziva David is a character on NCIS. She is a probationary ("probie") NCIS agent pending U.S. citizenship.
David was a Mossad (Israeli secret police) operative who was sent to NCIS following the murder of Special Agent Caitlin Todd by rogue operative Ari Aswari.
She was Ari's control officer and half-sister; they shared the same father; Deputy Director of Mossad Eli David.
At one point NCIS Special Agent Gibbs was cornered by Ari, but Ziva emerged and kills Ari. After his death, she asked to be assigned as a liaison for Mossad at NCIS.
Ziva's liaison position was later terminated under the orders of Director Vance following the death of Director Shepard.
Ziva went on to work undercover in Morocco after her liaison position was terminated, however it was later learned that Vance had deliberately sent Ziva back to Israel in order to help uncover a mole within NCIS.
Believed dead, Ziva was rescued by Tony, McGee and Gibbs, who killed her terrorist captor himself.
Little is revealed about Ziva’s personal life, but she is close with Special Agent Tony DiNozzo.
Ziva is Jewish, and is always seen wearing the Star of David, though attention is rarely drawn to this.

I love NCIS so much! I love all the characters, especially Ziva,Tony and Gibbs. So much chemistry between Ziva and Tony. I wonder how Tony will react when he meets Ray. I do not care for Vance at all. And I do not like EJ either. It's like the writers are trying to build a wall between them, Tony and Ziva. Tony is noticing EJ, while Ziva has Ray. I love Cote so much! She is SUCH a good actress, and she's totally opposite from Ziva. Ziva is tough, doesn't show much emotion, while Cote is very hilarious and outgoing. She's not afraid to speak her mind. I started learning Hebrew because of Ziva. Now I can understand some of the thing she says on the show that are in Hebrew! Never miss an episode, ever. Looking forward to this week's episode "Two-Faced." NCIS Forever.

Cote,
You are one beautiful woman and one hell of an actress. You sizzle your so hot. I would love to get to know you, and would love to date Ziva. Since she teases Tony all the time about his experience with women and makes reference to the fact that she has not ruled women out. I would treat her so good she would never want for anything...Keep up your excellant work and know I'll always be there.....Debby
