ippi Longstocking, a fictional character created by Astrid Lindgren, is a nine-year-old girl known for her extraordinary strength, independence, and unconventional lifestyle.

She lives off her father’s gold coins, acquired at sea, making her financially independent. Pippi disregards social conventions, embraces her individuality, and enjoys a carefree life without adult supervision. Pippi is a skilled storyteller, often embellishing her tales with fantastical elements.
