Well, the makers could have made more of her and had too less show time imo.
But I think she developed pretty well. In the beginning she couldn't even stay on a space ship without getting sick, and was quite anxious. Over the time she improved a lot and even became a hero of the Enterprise. Archer treated her hard sometimes though. I remember when he forced her to work and tran slate when she was actually unconscious.

You made people make a hard choice, and the results are fascinating. Of course, the comments can always allow anyone to expand on their choices and preferences.
The category was "best developed" not "best worst russian accent"Honorable mention to Anastasia Komananov. Not quite Kira but deserves some love too
Voted for Seven, self explanatory.
I was joking when I listed all characters Vistor played as my top 5. However, all of them are adjacent to Kira, drawing on comparisons to the original character while also commenting on it. The differences between Kira and Komananov are instructive, contributing to Kira's development.The category was "best developed" not "best worst russian accent"
As much as I wanted to vote for Janeway and honor the late great Jeri Taylor, my vote went to Kira Nerys. Ira Steven Behr, the writers, and Nana Visitor really fleshed out the character and IMO developed her moreso than any other female Trek character.
From the the early seasons of DS9 all the way through What We Leave Behind, we saw her as a terrorist, a religious believer, a soldier, a friend, an unrequited lover, a surrogate. There were times when she was right, and times when she was wrong.
There are so many examples you can give for why Kira is one of the most developed female Trek characters. And that ending shot of DS9 with Kira and Jake looking out the promenade? *chef's kiss*

I voted for Jadzia Dax. She got a lot of development in her own right, plus we got details about all of her previous hosts and the Trill species and society in general. Kira would be my next choice, but she had less established on DS9 since TNG had done a ton of development on Ro Laren and the Bajoran race before DS9 came along.
I went with Kira well done character. Although it was close with her and Seven. In fact the women in the later Treks were well thought out even if Janeway got on my nerves at times. Sad thing is the women of TNG had potential all had strong back stories and ranks to lead to good story ideas but none of that panned out one was killed off early on while the other two got ignored most of the time.
Perhaps because she's not all that developed? We might have more time with the Lower Decks or Prodigy crew than her.
I'm sorry, I love Jadzia Dax, but the three people who chose her over Ezri probably have a bias. In her six years on the show we learn almost nothing about Jadzia; her episodes were usually focused on Dax, the symbiont. Even when they're separated for a full episode, Jadzia is kept unconscious, so we barely see her without Dax at all. Ezri got more backstory and character growth in her single season.
Hmm. "Best developed female character" seems like an open invitation for a "male sexist pig" sort of punning answer. Something in the general vein as this gag from Animal Crackers.
Once in college, our English professor was commenting how Falstaff was a phallic pun. But the rub was, so was the last name of the very same Prof. No one us mustered the courage to mention this, not even him.
It really isn’t.
It certainly wasn't intended as such. But (as the tagline for a certain Infocom game says) "a dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste."
I had a professor who was very vocal about his policy of never making fun of anybody's name. His name was Dr. Wayne Dick, and as I recall, I had him for at least one class, maybe more than one.
If the whole question remains ''What is the most developed female character on STAR TREK?'' then that likely limits it to the Enterprise computer-voice.
