CHARACTER NAME: Lisbeth Salander
SERIES: Stieg Larsson's 'Millenium' trilogy ( The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl who Played with Fire; The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest ).
CANON POINT: The Girl who Played with Fire ( Just before the arrest warrant for Lisbeth goes out ).
AGE: 24
APPEARANCE: Appearance. Played by Noomi Rapace, Lisbeth 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." ( The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo )
PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY: Not applicable.
PERSONALITY: With red hair dyed black, a pale complexion, and gothic attire, Lisbeth Salander's exterior appearance is one that screams "Do not fuck with." For all intents and purposes, this reaction is as accurate as it gets when dealing with her. Her outwards personality can come off as introverted, resulting in difficulty communicating with Lisbeth and in turn, this itself can perpetuate the misconception that Lisbeth is antisocial, and prefers not to interact with others. What Lisbeth takes pride in however, is defying perceptions from strangers, taking their misconceptions about her and twisting them around. Where she comes off as asocial, one realizes that there are in fact, a handful of people she is willing to speak to, and is willing to form close interactions with. Where one believes she is incompetent, Lisbeth in fact, takes that believe and turns it up on its head, proving herself more than independent and capable of taking matters into her own hand. Where one believes she is anorexic, perhaps underweight, Lisbeth shrugs it off and argues she simply has a high metabolism.
By defying social expectations, Lisbeth carefully constructs her own personality, one that values her own independence and privacy above the rest. She runs on her own morality, which emerges from her childhood, witnessing her father constantly abuse her mother, and thrives on exacting revenge against anyone who has wronged her. As a result of this, Lisbeth had a troublesome childhood, bright, but introverted, with a tendency to react violently against anyone who bullied or picked on her. This mannerism continued well into her adulthood, because it is a mannerism that allowed her to get by on her own. For example, because of Lisbeth's tendencies to react this way, after her father, Zalachenko, violently abused her mother until she suffered permanent brain damage, Lisbeth went out of her way to set her father on fire.
The assumptions that people tend to see about Lisbeth are proven wrong from anyone who takes their time to get to know her. This is the first conclusion made from anyone who has spoken to her, including her prior guardian Holger Palmgren, her boss Dragan Armansky, and her on-off friend, Mikael Blomkvist. Introverted, but not incompetent; in fact, Lisbeth has gone out of her way to fully prove herself more than capable of being an independent young woman, able to hold her own. She keeps to herself because it's easier, because it offers her less trouble than trying to get close to people is inclined to, which results in Lisbeth's high sense of loyalty to the rare people that she's managed to let into her life.
As a worker at Milton Security, Lisbeth deliberately distances herself from everyone around her. She takes on the task offered by her boss, disappears for as long as needed, before returning completed work onto his desk, efficient and perfect. Her professional relationship is distant with him, and she does this as well with Mikael, unless she needs him for a specific reason. Even with her guardian, the closest Lisbeth can get to calling someone an actual, adopted father, Palmgren is still watching his steps to try and work with her. Their relationship, from the initial meeting, up until his recovery from his stroke, had Palmgren struggling to maintain some semblance of order, but as he quickly discovered, Lisbeth makes her own rules. By granting her the independence she wanted, Lisbeth in turn, gave up some her reservations, and attended to the man, offering up her own money to provide him with the best possible health care.
Her affection for Palmgren is not unfounded however; the man had trouble being able to work with her until he removed her from the psychiatric ward. By offering her a job working for Milton Security, and allowing Lisbeth control of her own finances, separating her from the kind of men who took advantage of her, Palmgren enabled Lisbeth to essentially find some satisfaction from her life, even if she remained an enigma on the outside.
Lisbeth's relationship to Mikael Blomkvist is one of the most predominant throughout the series, and we see they have a turbulent reaction towards each other. The pair circle around each other as Lisbeth investigates the man as part of a job for Milton Security, compiling a report on him after he was disgraced as a financial journalist. Mikael comes into her life forcefully after discovering that she was snooping around his laptop out of curiosity, and pretty much barges into her apartment, demanding that they work together. Though the two eventually start a sexual relationship with each other, Lisbeth eventually realizes that what constituted as affection for her was not reciprocated given that Mikael shared a relationship with his co-worker, Erika Berger. This resulted in Lisbeth ignoring Mikael entirely, angry by the fact that she felt used by the man, despite their eventual reconciliation (and at a later canon point, Mikael choosing to go out of his way to investigate Lisbeth's past and win her trial).
One of Lisbeth's greatest strengths is her determination to go out against all odds. Though it's not the canon point currently used, we see that instead of being visibly upset over an arrest warrant and subsequent trial, Lisbeth is capable of holding her own, unperturbed by the situation she intends on facing. She is also one of the top tier hackers, as part of Hacker Republic, and as such, her capabilities within this group have extended to a team of loyalists, willing to bring about her innocence by digging up information necessary and subsequently bringing one of her strongest enemies to an arrest. Lisbeth also displays a strong sense of self confidence, unperturbed and often emotionless about the situation ahead of her. Given that she has constantly fought her way to competency and independence, she takes this revelation seriously.
This is however, also one of her major weaknesses. Beneath her "carefully constructed self confidence", Lisbeth is still a child in some ways, afraid that people will make fun of her, refuse to take her seriously, and generally mock her for her existence. It is because of this reason that Lisbeth puts effort into her outwards appearance, coming off as cold and distant because it allows her to interact with people as minimally as possible without having to let anyone in and having them grow attached to her. She behaves like this even with Palmgren, deflecting his questions about whether or not her replacement guardian is fair (spoiler: he isn't), and likewise continues this sort of behavior with her on/off girlfriend, Mimmi. She deflects personal questions, answering them in a way that still reveals nothing about her.
Given Lisbeth's hacker tendencies, it's easy to note that she is above all, one particular trait - curious. She earned her private investigator job after pointing out to her boss that another employee had done a shoddy attempt at a background check, indicating flaws and mentioning that the man they were investigating had been into child pornography. Her boss picked up on this, essentially putting Lisbeth into her own subsection of Milton Security, and while she still refused to adhere to many of the rules within the company, such as deadlines, the moment her boss would give her a job, she'd finish it on her own time. The results however, were detailed as possible, including citations for sources, indicating that Lisbeth is more than intelligence despite her inability to complete school.
One of Lisbeth's biggest motivations is sexual abuse. After witnessing her father abuse her mother to the point where she suffered permanent brain damage, Lisbeth essentially joined a cause on her own, retaliating against "men who hate women" (the original Swedish title of the novel). Though she never publicized this, it is easy to note from her actions throughout the first novel and through her behavior with several men in the later ones, that she has a violent tendency against men who have proven themselves to degrade women. For example, after Bjurman holds her finances hostage, releasable only after he violently rapes her twice, Lisbeth exacts her revenge by raping him in return as well a subsequently tattooing "I am a sadistic pig, a pervert, and a rapist" onto his chest, where anyone who tried to see would immediately know what he was up to. Subsequently, after getting pulled into the Vanger investigation to assist Blomkvist, we see that Lisbeth sticks around particularly, noting that the deaths that tied in with Harriet Vanger's disappearance carried some resemblance of abuse along the lines, and when Martin Vanger was caught, she chased after him with a golf club, fully intending to kill him had he not crashed into a truck.
There are however, men that she does trust, and it is these figures that come very very rarely into her life. As previously stated, Holger Palmgren and Dragan Armansky, her prior guardian and her current boss respectively, are two figures to have earned her respect to some extent. Though she will still snoop around Armansky's possessions from time to time, the fact that he has been up front and honest about his attraction to her has earned at least a few respect points, despite never taking him up on that interest. There is also Blomkvist, who worked alongside of Lisbeth to solve the Vanger investigation, and Dr. Jonasson, her doctor responsible for treating her after the events of The Girl who Played with Fire, both of whom treat Lisbeth as is, rather than drawing assumptions about her.
Lisbeth has been labelled several derogatory terms throughout her life, antisocial, retarded, to name a few, but what characterizes her the most, is that she has never let it get to her. She rises above those assumptions, living her life as capably as possible, and while she sees no reason to prove herself to the men insulting her, Lisbeth also sees no reason to allow her to succumb to these insults. During psychiatric evaluations, we see that Lisbeth has a tendency to remain silent, born out of a childhood aversion to another abuser - Peter Teleborian. By refusing to speak, Lisbeth makes it impossible to be diagnosed, and while this may be difficult, it also is effective in that it prevents her from earning a label that renders her incompetent.
ABILITIES:
» ( eidetic memory ). Lisbeth has the perfectly human ability to carry a photographic memory of items she's seen, ranging for a page of words, to a scene displayed ahead of her. She's not quite proud of it, because others will look down on it, but Lisbeth uses it to her assets.
» ( computer hacker ). By no means is she superior to the rest, but Lisbeth has been accepted into Sweden's most prominent hacker's circles for her capabilities. player note: while this is a natural tendency of lisbeth, i will not implement this for private/encrypted conversations without player permission in a permission's post. i am aware of the ic consequences as well and will fully accept them until a set point in time when lisbeth learns to stay away (but not really because she's stubborn like that).
» ( identity concealment ). Using her hacking skills, Lisbeth is capable of concealing her identity, usually in the form of a blonde named Irene Nesser, which she uses to travel between countries undetected.
» ( information gatherer ). As a security consultant for Milton Security, Lisbeth is capable of running private investigations, gathering what she can from listening in on conversations, speaking to sources, and digging through their information. note: i am well aware this borders on info modding, and will not be performed without player permission through a permissions post if accepted.
» ( testosterone in the face of sexual abuse ). Lisbeth's rage for any man who goes out of their way to sexually abuse women is extremely prominent throughout the trilogy; she has willingly beaten up a man she barely knows, using nothing more than a golf club.
» ( all around badass ). Despite her frame and build, Lisbeth is a decent boxer and self confident woman who knows how to handle the scene ahead of her. Well, if things go wrong, there's always her taser.

JOURNAL ENTRY SAMPLE:
[ Lisbeth hates making her presence known; she prefers to go by unnoticed, listening in on conversations, gathering the information she needs without drawing attention. Since her arrival on board, she's made one stupid mistake (her ear's been bandaged up hastily) but then she adapted, she's learned and now it's all she's been doing, skipping the constant demands and questions, skipping the flurry of panic and lack of awareness; she isn't surprised anymore, her presence calm and relaxed.
And she hates the compass. They're incapable of doing anything, incapable of allowing any sort of conversation, much like the inhabitants themselves, denying her entry when she tried 'Irene Nesser'. Irene wasn't allowed here, her lips pursed into a thin smile, and she couldn't speak to them again. 'Your name please'. 'Lisbeth Salander', directions to a room and a key. She had checked in immediately, stripping her clothes off, trying to assess the situation on her own, but when push came to shove, she listened instead. The laptops were shit too, email, a few sites here and there, but she couldn't reach anything, not when there were a handful of people impatient, peering over her shoulder, and the wires here and there were unreliable; she had stung herself enough.
Asphyxia was incompatible, incapable of giving her the results she wanted, the results she craved away from the security system currently implemented. It wasn't something by Hacker Republic, that much was obvious, and she couldn't even reach out to contact them; they were left alone and isolated; Lisbeth against the world. ]
I need a working computer. [ Short, and to the point; the less details she offered, the easier. The less connections she had to form, when she couldn't trust anyone but herself, when questions weren't forthcoming from the employees here, why would anyone else know what's going on? She'd let them settle in, while dealing with herself, and then she'd make her own moves to solve this. The technology here worked, but she needed better, her standards far superior above the rest. ]
THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE:
Fuck this shit, she thinks, as Lisbeth comes to consciousness aboard the ship, the swaying tempting her to remain in bed, lulling her to sleep. But it's been a long time since Lisbeth has ever been rocked to sleep, since well before Zala turned into a man of hateful proportions and Lisbeth didn't make a decision that would turn her life around. Her movements are mechanical, propping herself upwards, still half asleep and confused; the last time she's ever lost consciousness, she woke up at the mercy of Bjurman, and that was a nightmare she wished to forget entirely, but her hands weren't tied and she looked around of her own volition.
As Lisbeth brought her hands up, her fingers brushed against the compass, the device unfamiliar as she clutched in both hands like a child, tracing her hands along its metal. It looks as if it's in near perfect condition, unbroken, undamaged, but still, a compass. Combined with the ongoing rocking, she put two and two together, aware that she was most likely on board a ship, with no one else in tow. There would be a chance to explore later, but for now, her body needed tending to, her immediate surroundings assessed for clues before she took to speaking to anyone.
Lisbeth's clothes were still on her, the black t-shirt she preferred wearing, leather jacket off to the side, and her jeans were snug against her frame. She couldn't deny the possibility that someone had put them back onto her, but Lisbeth couldn't feel any pain, just an overwhelming sense of confusion on her part. She drew her knees to her chest, clutching herself in a manner that was childish, trying to process a new found scenario she hadn't encountered since she was young. She was better than this, she should be better than this. Bringing a hand up to her ear, Lisbeth tucked a lock of hair behind, the strand falling carelessly as she came across the unfamiliar device in her ear, embedded in place. Running a hand over the cool metal, it felt as if it was nothing more than an ear piece, one that wouldn't come off with the slightest tug.
An earpiece, and not one of hers. For all she knew, she couldn't trust the device in the slightest, when the person listening in, when the person speaking to her was hidden behind the scenes. Another tug, and she knew that if she tried to yank it off, it'd cause severe damage, but it needed to be done regardless. Gritting her teeth, Lisbeth yanked, strength drawn from adrenaline, and the only bit she managed was to tear off some skin, letting out a low grunt. Blood was spilling and she didn't need to have her hand up there to feel it, the liquid gushing out. Letting it run, her main focus was on just what they had done to the implant in the first place, trying to determine who thought it was a good idea to surgically graft an earpiece onto someone while unconscious.
"Fuck this shit," she reiterates, this time louder as Lisbeth brings a hand up to her ear to staunch the blood flow. Bandage this, work on answers. It was easy enough to determine her next course of actions.

Combined with the ongoing rocking, she put two and two together, aware that she was most likely on board a ship, with no one else in tow. There would be a chance to explore later, but for now, her body needed tending to, her immediate surroundings assessed for clues before she took to speaking to anyone.
Lisbeth's clothes were still on her, the black t-shirt she preferred wearing, leather jacket off to the side, and her jeans were snug against her frame. She couldn't deny the possibility that someone had put them back onto her, but Lisbeth couldn't feel any pain, just an overwhelming sense of confusion on her part. She drew her knees to her chest, clutching herself in a manner that was childish, trying to process a new found scenario she hadn't encountered since she was young. She was better than this, she should be better than this. Bringing a hand up to her ear, Lisbeth tucked a lock of hair behind, the strand falling carelessly as she came across the unfamiliar device in her ear, embedded in place. Running a hand over the cool metal, it felt as if it was nothing more than an ear piece, one that wouldn't come off with the slightest tug.
An earpiece, and not one of hers. For all she knew, she couldn't trust the device in the slightest, when the person listening in, when the person speaking to her was hidden behind the scenes. Another tug, and she knew that if she tried to yank it off, it'd cause severe damage, but it needed to be done regardless. Gritting her teeth, Lisbeth yanked, strength drawn from adrenaline, and the only bit she managed was to tear off some skin, letting out a low grunt. Blood was spilling and she didn't need to have her hand up there to feel it, the liquid gushing out. Letting it run, her main focus was on just what they had done to the implant in the first place, trying to determine who thought it was a good idea to surgically graft an earpiece onto someone while unconscious.
"Fuck this shit," she reiterates, this time louder as Lisbeth brings a hand up to her ear to staunch the blood flow. Bandage this, work on answers. It was easy enough to determine her next course of actions.
