What is your favorite female character from Voyager?

[BohandiAnsoid]

Voyager had four main female characters over the entire run, three at the time. And, despite not having much of a secondary cast, there were still a few recurring ones, especially early on. I would like to ask you, which one you think is the best. With whatever criteria you want.

If I get enough responses, I will make the male one later.

My favorite is Kes, followed by Seven of Nine, then B'Elanna Torres.

Seven of Nine. She was the only one that had an interesting backstory.

 

[Oddish]

1. Kathryn Janeway. She was inconsistent at times, due to dubious quality of showrunners... but she was a boss.
2. Seska. An awesome villain, gone before her time.
3. Naomi. Since we're discussing female characters, not WOMAN characters, our winsome little captain's assistant deserves mention.
4. Kes. Liked the way she didn't have preconceived notions, especially about the Doctor. Plus, her abbreviated lifespan gave her interesting story potential.
5. Seven. Liked her "ice queen" style, though I do wish they could have kept Kes too.
6. Samantha. Nice lady, good mom, not much else to say.
7. B'Elanna. Didn't dislike her... but she did the bulk of her character growth in one episode, and spent the next 150+ on the "angsty about being Klingon" treadmill.
