If you're looking for a way to express a close friendship with a female friend, you could use phrases like:
* Close friend
* Dearest friend
* Best friend
* My friend (this works regardless of gender)
You can also use more informal terms like:
* Gal pal
* Girlfriend (though this can be confusing as it also refers to a romantic partner)
Ultimately, the best choice depends on the context and your personal preference.
