Currently: Katrina Cornwell.
Previously, which is not to say that I don't still adore them, they're just not the current objects of my obsession: Kathryn Janeway, Beverly Crusher.
Beverly is the outlier here; Kat and Kathryn are both scientists who switched to command mid-career and excelled, and who share a capacity for sometimes shocking levels of pragmatism, and who will go to extreme, you might say explosive, lengths to protect the people for whom they are responsible.
Beverly has some of these traits, but she was a product of TNG and the mid/late '80s. On the other hand, one of the reasons I first loved her was that she was the only woman who argued with the captain.
(I hear you ask, why not Kira? On paper, she is 100% my Type, and she is my favourite character on DS9. But the timing was wrong -- I was still in the depths of my TNG obsession when DS9 first aired, and by the time I was ready to move on, Janeway was around. DS9 and I were never meant to be.)
( The rest of the days. )
