Mischa Lecter is a fictional character in the Hannibal Lecter series by Thomas Harris. Mischa first appeared in the novel Hannibal and the prequel Hannibal Rising. Character overview Mischa is the younger sister of Hannibal Lecter. It is strongly suggested that her murder (during the end of World War II) is the major catalyst that led Lecter to not only avenge his sister's death, but become a cannibalistic serial killer. The novel Hannibal explains that Mischa is only three when her parents are killed in a crossfire between enemy forces, leaving the young Lecter to take care of his only sister. Shortly afterward, a group of Lithuanian Nazi collaborators retreating from the Soviet army capture them. After a few days in the harsh winter, the looters slaughter Mischa and consume her remains. Hannibal prays for his sister's safe return, to no avail. Mischa's role and character is expanded in Hannibal Rising, in which she is portrayed by Helena Lia Tachovka.
