Description
In case you didn't get the literary reference (which is probably more likely than not, seeing as how it might be just my translation of Les Miserables that uses that as the title of the chapter in which she is introduced as a grown girl), this is Eponine.

Yes, I know, in the musical she's famous for her coat and floppy hat, and she does wear men's clothes in her famous death scene, but, in the novel, for most of it, she's in a ragged skirt torn with a string and a chemise that falls down to her waist (which she often doesn't notice, apparently, which is awkward for a girl of 16).

Believe me. I spent the whole time I was drawing her referring back to the passage in which she walks into Marius's room for the first time. She's quite a character in that scene, flitting about his room, poking through his stuff, singing, telling him he's handsome with his messy hair, and then eating a dusty piece of bread crust she finds on his bureau because she's so hungry.

She also has a voice like a chain-smoker, apparently. I find this endlessly funny. Can you imagine singing "On My Own" in a "raucous" voice tainted with spirits? It's definitely a different take.

Though I agree with Victor Hugo. It makes her so much more real-- and more pitiable.

Things I like: The shading was fine, but it's not so hot on this particular upload. She's also pretty, but not too pretty.

Things I don't like: The messed-up door and her hands, for the most part.
