Personally, I use the term buddy for some females I consider fairly close friends. I see nothing wrong with calling a female "buddy"; however, I like "mi amiga" because it is friendly and most everybody understands.
You could use "gal-pal" or "girl-bud".

More of a slang thing probably, but "sis" sounds like a good option to me.

It could be a good option. Let's make it viral hahaha
Re: What's the female equivalent of "buddy"?
It IS a good option. Sorta like "bro". I've heard "sister" used, as well as "girl" when addressing a friend.

Could "gal" be an option too?
Re: What's the female equivalent of "buddy"?
I think so. I've also heard men refer to female friends as "gal-pal"

¿Y qué ocurre en español? Escucho mucho el término "fiera".
- ¿Qué haces, fiera?
- ¿Qué decís, fierita?
Entiendo que "fiera" podría referirse a una mujer, también.
