Character name: Ziva David
Series: NCIS
Age: 28
Job: Self-defense Trainer
Canon:
Terrorism. Serial killers. Kidnappings. Murdered seamen. No, we're not talking condoms -- the other seamen. Much like the actual Naval Criminal Investigative Service, NCIS tells the story of a team of special agents. These armed federal law enforcement investigators are supported by a cadre of eccentric analysts and other experts skilled in disciplines such as forensics, surveillance and surveillance countermeasures, computer investigations, and physical security. The story lies in solving the crimes with plots buffered by a bit of creative license, dramatic flair, and undercurrents of sexual tensions.
Already thoroughly trained in methods of assassination, espionage, and coercion, Ziva David is a highly skilled Mossad officer assigned to Gibbs' team to act as a liaison with the NCIS. While her abrupt manner and matter of fact way of speaking has a tendency to grate on her co-workers' nerves, Ziva displays an adaptable mind and a biting sense of humor which allows her to fit right in with the team. Perfectly at home taunting her co-worker (especially Tony DiNozzo) about sexuality and the female body, she is rather emphatic in her distaste for being called "ma'am", for being disrespected, and for being manhandled. On the job, she maintains a calm, cool work demeanor which has earned her co-workers' ire and accusations of not caring about people and having no emotions. However, she is not without her vulnerabilities and insecurities, though she displays them only when dealing with people who have managed to penetrate her tough exterior and earn her trust.
One of Ziva's most notable idiosyncrasies is her frequent misuse of English idioms. However, when English is one of the half dozen languages that you speaks fluently, it is quite understandable -- though a constant source of amusement for people listening.
Sample Entry:
All right, listen up. I've been brought in here to help teach you kids self-defense. It's been repeatedly emphasized that these training sessions are to teach you non-lethal techniques for disarming potentially hairy situations. That's not really my cup of coffee, but the Director said that breaking a few bones was better than the moogles going on strike. If anyone knows what that's supposed to mean, please feel free to explain it to me following our lesson.
First thing's first. It is far easier to kill an assailant than it is to take them alive, but you can't question or interrogate a dead man. This lesson will involve grappling with someone from behind. My assistant today will be this purple gorilla that's been following me around all morning. We'll call him Tony for now as it seems to fit, and I won't question why you have an endangered species in a summer camp. Okay, the first thing we'll look at is a hip throw. Tony, here, is going to come up and attempt to grab me from behind. When he does this, carefully watch my--EEHH!
...
Now, that sucking pop you just heard was the sound of his humerus dislocating from the scapula. If you'll listen carefully, you'll also hear a series of sharper pops here -- those are the tendons around the rotator cuff severing. Finally, by twisting the arm like this and applying pressure with my foot just here, you'll be able to hear the distinct splintering crunch of the acromioclavicular joint fracturing. As you can clearly observe, this is a rather painful process, which leaves your attacker disabled but very much alive and willing to answer your questions.
I don't recommend attempting this particular technique until you've gained a little more experience in self-defense. We'll consider this a practical demonstration of what we're working up towards. Oh, and gentlemen, this is going to be your first and only warning. Learn from Tony's mistake -- my breasts and my ass are out of limits.
