She\'s a magic user and a tough and vicious woman, but the \'action\' part is completely lacking. Nor does her record reflect the trope\'s description.

* \\\'\\\'Series/{{NCIS}}\\\'\\\': Ziva\\\'s connection to the Mossad \\\'\\\'hints\\\'\\\' that she used to be a dark action girl - the few images we get of her past show her shooting a guy from the back of a motorbike. She used to be a professional killer. It\\\'s okay, though. Now, she never kills anyone! ...Well, hardly ever.
** That doesn\\\'t make her this trope though. She is shown repeatedly to have had friends and people she cared about. She was killing people to protect her country, not for profit. Especially since Gibbs is shown to have been involved in assassinations as well.

I don\\\'t know \\\'\\\'Series/{{NCIS}} that well. Who\\\'s right here?

I don\'t think Jadis qualifies as a Dark Action Girl. In neither of her incarnations (the other being The Magician\'s Nephew) is she a fighter of any stripe, preferring magic and zapping people to going toe to toe. The only times she pulls her stone dagger is to kill a bound Edmund (who can\'t fight back), a bound and willing Aslan and \'\'after\'\' Edmund shatters her wand. Otherwise, she is shown having others battle for her as she turns people to stone. That\'s not fighting

As for The Magician\'s Nephew, she tries magic in the mundane world first, only resorting to a bar of iron from a lamp post when her magic won\'t work. She was originally a queen who \'won\', not by a one-on-one duel with her sister, but with that world\'s spell-magic equivalent of an all-out nuclear barrage. She\'s inhumanely strong, but she isn\'t human, so that\'s not particularly a qualifier.
