Cote de Pablo describes the character as someone who is "completely different from anyone else on the show" and that because "she's been around men all her life; she's used to men in authority. She's not afraid of men."<ref>Mason, Dave, "[http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20060103/news_lz1c03ncis.html De Pablo adds spice to 'NCIS']", ''[[The San Diego Union-Tribune]]'', January 3, 2006. Retrieved October 7, 2007.</ref> She later stated that, "This woman is a soldier. She takes things to the extreme. She knows how to use all sorts of things—guns and knives—I would never imagine using. ... She's one tough woman, but it doesn't take away from the fact that she's still very sexy and playful and all of that. But, when it comes to work she means business."<ref name="Netscape"/> Ziva is often portrayed as calmly aggressive and does not shy away from physical altercations with suspects, though it has been acknowledged that she has become "a little bit softer" and "more inclined to listen before acting out" since her arrival at NCIS.<ref name="D'Mello">{{cite web|last=D'Mello|first=Christine|title='I miss the old Ziva' – De Pablo|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv/7491998/I-miss-the-old-Ziva-De-Pablo|work=[[Stuff.co.nz]]|access-date=May 14, 2013|date=August 17, 2012}}</ref> She is not easily intimidated or rattled. She approaches her job with zeal, appearing to truly believe in what she does. She is very committed to the ideals of the U.S., in particular the bounds that law places on all citizens including the government.<ref name=buddytv>{{cite web|last=Jackman|first=Jacky|title='NCIS' Fan Columnist: Masquerade Review|url=http://www.buddytv.com/articles/ncis/ncis-fan-columnist-masquerade-34241.aspx|work=BuddyTV|access-date=February 15, 2013|date=February 3, 2010}}</ref>
