Portuguese translation:Minha dama! / Minha 'mana! / Minha parça!
Explanation:
The same as "my bitch"; "my doe" reveals an idea (or statute) or camaraderie aimed at a female subject.

A similar example, applied to mostly those of the male gender; "My man!"; "My mate!"; "My boy!"; "My bro!"; "My G."; et cetera.

In PT-PT, one could go as far saying "Meu puto!"; "Meu 'mano!" [and so on.].

NOTE:
Additionally, it is not uncommon for women nowadays to refer to themselves as "minha puta" in a jokingly manner.

(This depends on the context, surely; lowest confidence since it is but a suggestion)

For some reason, once more, my references did not upload.

Apaguei a minha entrada anterior visto que tive alguns problemas a formatá-la.
