Dragon magazine way back when had a regular column called "Giants in the Earth" where they statted out various fictional characters in (usually overpowered) D&D terms. I thought I'd try that out. Since even giants start small, I'm going with Lisbeth Salander.
Name: Lisbeth Salander
Race: Human
Source: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and later books. This represents her as of the first book. Also, the Investigator template from GURPS Action came in handy. While Salander is thought of as a hacker she's closer functionally to the Investigator template.

The "You're cute when you're angry" Perk modifies use of Intimidation. Normally, Salander's small size and slight build would put her at a disadvantage if she attempted to intimidate someone before a fight. However she can use Intimidation normally to deter opponents who are not familiar with her - they are affected not because they're are frightened but because they are amused and possibly confused.
Salander possesses an extraordinary intellect and first class investigative skills. She is also good with computers. She also has exceptionally good reflexes and coordination plus a high degree of durability, particularly for someone so small. She has a long list of disadvantages typical of antisocial cinematic detectives as well as some interesting and unique complications.
The Gentle Art of Waif Fu
While Salander has high combat skills, her modest ST limits her in hand to hand combat, particularly if she comes to grip with anyone. To make up for this, when resorting to violence she will typically rely on surprise, attacking aggressively and taking full advantage of her Dirty Fighting Perk. In game terms she will make Committed or All Out (Strong) attacks in the hope of disabling her opponent before he can react. She will also plan ahead if expecting a violent confrontation including use of weapons such as tasers.
Campaign Use
Salander as is could be used as an Investigator for an Action campaign or a rival for the PCs. After changes in the course of a trilogy, she could also act as a Patron for an Action or Mystery campaign. The original stories are set at the start of the century, with Salander born around 1980 or so. With a little work on her back story, she could be moved to a Cyberpunk or Space campaign.
Salander in Spandex.
Salander is pretty close to being a superhero in the original books. To go all the way, up physical stats and combat skills and possibly add Trained by a Master for a traditional Detective/Vigilante. Alternately her mental abilities could count as a kind of superpower or mutation - note that her family members also possess extraordinary abilities.
