Lisbeth Salander
Lisbeth Salander has red hair, which she dyes black.
Upon her first appearance in the series, she is described as "a pale, skinny young woman who had hair as short as a fuse, and a pierced nose and eyebrows.
She had a wasp tattoo about two centimeters on her neck, a tattooed loop around the bicep of her left arm, another loop around her left ankle, a chinese symbol on her hip and a rose on her left calf.
On those occasions when she had been wearing a tank top, a dragon tattoo can be seen on her left shoulder blade."
Salander is a world class computer hacker.
Under the name "Wasp", she becomes a prominent figure in the international hacker community, known as the Hacker Republic.
She uses her computer skills as a means to earn a living, doing investigative work for Milton Security.
She has an eidetic memory, and is skillful at concealing her identity, possessing passports in different names and physical disguises that she uses to travel undetected around Sweden and worldwide.
The survivor of a traumatic childhood, Salander is highly introverted, asocial and has difficulty connecting to people and making friends.
She is particularly hostile to men who abuse women, and takes special pleasure in exposing and punishing them.
This is representative of Larsson's personal views and a major theme throughout the entire trilogy.
She has a complicated relationship with investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist, which veers back and forth between romance and hostility throughout the trilogy.
She also has an on-again off-again romantic relationship with Miriam "Mimmi" Wu.
