The background is wonderful; it reminds me of a medieval tapestry, and I love the framing effect. I also like what you've done in terms of contrasts here, with the hair, skin tone, and dress patterns; it's quite lovely.
This is extraordinaery. There is such a dramatic aura about this character. She reminds me of the character The Little Princess. Royalty is in her bloodline yet there is also a compassionate look to her as if she is tired of living lavish while so many live in poverty. Her striking hair also speaks of her being a youth with an old soul. Wise beyond her years.
