5% Joy
She has an infectious smile. Her eyes light up and she gives you winning grin that you can't help but love. Her smiles are an endangered specimen, close to extinction. A genuine one is a rare thing. But it's the best feeling in the world to see her smile. And to know that you are the one who made her smile.
5% Confusion
She's a mystery. One you can't help but try and solve. She drops hints after hints, hardly ever waiting for you to pick up the pieces and fit them together. She's cunning, she's smart, she's got it all together.
But on the scarce occasions where she herself is confused, you love being the one to clear it up for her. And maybe, just maybe, you might get one of those coveted rare smiles.
10% Power of Will
You have to wonder sometimes, Is she even human? How could it be possible to be like her? She's a quiet force of nature, and she could move mountains if she wanted to.
She can stay strong when no one else can, she can do things no one else could, and she can hold in her emotions when she should be falling apart. She has the strongest willpower you've ever seen, and it terrifies you.
30% Skill
Trained and conditioned and hardwired with skills you never thought possible. She fights and lives with a skill you've never seen before. A skill that could never be taught. Skills that she was born with. She is strong, precise, quick, clever, and deadly.
Skill in the way she fires a gun, skill in the way she throws a knife, skill in the way she kicks, punches, and wins without a word.
50% Pain
Never had she imagined a life like this. This wasn't what she deserved, not at all. It seems that all her sins have caught up to her, and crushed her to the ground. She carries around too much pain on her shoulders. Physical, emotional, mental. And her well concealed pain is eating away at her heart.
She's lived without a family for years. She's lost the loves of her life, and she's accepted that she'll never have what she wants.
100% A Reason to Remember Her Name
She's unforgettable.
Somehow she carries her pain with an impossible elegance. You noticed it the moment the walked into your life.
Somehow her skills never cease to amaze you. Not just on the battlefield, but in every aspect of her. The way she can run, or sing, or think.
Somehow her willpower never breaks. She stays strong through the impossible and never wavers in her ways.
Somehow her confusion is endearing. You can't help but grin on the inside when she messes up her idioms, because you know she can mess up, just like you.
Somehow her smile can brighten your whole life. Just a quick flash of unbridled joy makes you remember what you live for.
All the parts of her, the joy, the confusion, the will, the skill, and the pain, make you love her even more.
Ziva David. It's impossible to forget her name.
Just a short little thing cause I have nothing better to do than watch NCIS reruns and remember how much I miss Ziva...
In case anyone is wondering, this is from Tony's POV. :-)
