32	----
33	!! She provides tropes of:
34	* ActionGirl: She kicks a whole lot of ass in the ''[[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy Dragon Tattoo]]'' movies.
35	* DarkActionGirl: As Leilah in ''Film/{{Bright}}''.
36	* {{Determinator}}: One of the main traits of both [[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy Lisbeth Salander]] and [[Film/{{Prometheus}} Dr. Elizabeth Shaw]]. Deconstructed with [[Film/BlackCrab Caroline Edh]].
37	* DyeingForYourArt:
38	** Her Lisbeth Salander role, which involved a lot of piercings (most of which she'd actually had as a teenager, so she just got them redone), and a ''lot'' of pale makeup to cover up her naturally dark complexion.
39	** She dyed her hair white and wore bright blue contact lenses for her role as Leilah in ''Film/{{Bright}}''.
40	* TheMaidenNameDebate: Born Noomi Norén, married actor Ola Norell in 2001 and ''both'' changed their surname to Rapace, which means "bird of prey" in French and Italian. They divorced in 2011, by which point both of them had become too well known to change their stage names back.
41	* MsFanservice: Most of her roles have at least a topless scene. She has no problem being naked on camera.
42	* {{Omniglot}}: Is fluent in Swedish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Danish and English.
43	* StarMakingRole: As Lisbeth; she was primarily a stage actress up to that point, but has since begun to act in big-budget Hollywood films.
