Lisbeth

She was near perfect to what I was looking for, so...I bought her! I named her after the stellar computer hacker in The Millennium Triology, Lisbeth Salander.

IT'S A GOOD BOOK SERIES FOR OLDER READERS, I RECOMMEND IT!

Her outfit and overall colour scheme is based on Noomi Rapace's characterisation of Lisbeth in the Swedish translation of the films (which are also good and highly recommended).

Biographical information Born: 1978 Also known as: Wasp, Irene Nesser Physical information Gender: Female Height: 150cm Hair colour: Dyed Black, Red (Biological hair) Family information Family members:Camilla Salander (Sister), Agneta Sofia Salander (mother), Alexander Zalachenko (father) Affiliation Occupation: Private Investigator at Milton Security Lisbeth's characterisation is extremely complex, showing at different times signs of great mental strength and emotional stability. Being nearly unable to empathasise with others, she is exceedingly anti-social, and feels no hesitation or guilt in performing great acts of violence on others, particularly if her survival is at stake. However she does have some sympathy, particularly towards people she generally trusts such as Miriam Wu, her fellow hackers, and Mikael Blomkvist to some degree.

Though a strong female character who perhaps thinks somewhat less of men than women, Lisbeth is not completely consistent with the feminist archetype, as she seeks out breast surgery in an attempt to feel better about her body image, silently seeking the approval of (or at least support of her own desire in) her bedfellows.

She is a rapid analyst, her initial impressions of people often turning out to be correct, and a skilled hacker who breaks nearly every measure of digital security that she sets her mind to. Perhaps because of her insight into people's personalities, she either ignores or actively dislikes those whose traits she finds unpleasing.

Partially due to her background, Lisbeth is very paranoid, trusting fewer than 3 people in the world and only then to a certain degree. When she was growing up she did display faith in people who could have helped her and her mother who was being abused by her father, but no one believed her and nothing happened, so because of that she doesn't tell the police or doctors anything because she doesn't trust them.

Despite displaying a level of maturity, she still allows herself to be hurt by seeing Mickael with Erika, holding a grudge for over a year like a child. Though she begins to open up more, particularly to Annika in the third novel, the only people to whom she shows any confidence are Mickael and Miriam.
