Description
Problems I ran into with this app that i've never had: It was actually too big.
Anyway, here's my character I'm hoping to get in with.
Also, hey look a bubbly female character with only a slightly tragic backstory.

Alexia always had it tough so she decided to face it with a smile and make it seem as if nothing were amiss. When she interacts with others she keeps and upbeat attitude. She's got a bit of a habit to coddle people which is in no way intentional, but she wants others to make the best out of what they have and be optimistic when it comes to the future. As she gets to know someone she'll calm down a bit and have more of a calmer maternal way of interacting with them. Despite her being distant sometimes she's as sharp as a tack, unless you catch her in the middle of daydreaming that is. Alexia is the type to try ridiculous things when someone is feeling down, these range from making funny faces all the way up to attempting to ride a unicycle (her balance isn't so good). Note: Once she makes up her mind, it's not changing. This can lead to her making someone mad at her even though she's trying to do what she feels is proper.
♕ H i s t o r y :
Whilst she was growing up she had no connections to the circus but it sure felt like she did, since like her mother her siblings and her had inherited the slightly “exotic” coloring in their hair and eyes. Both of her parents were eleven and unlike her mother, her father appeared more human and could easily hide his ears so he pursued work in the factories to allow his children to have a better life. When Alexia was about 8 her mother left them for another “life”. This left the three children without parents for the most part, and like her father Alexia wanted the best for her brother and sister so she always kept a smile on her face and an upbeat attitude. Once she was 11 she would often do odd jobs and small errands for spare money when her father was at work, this allowed her to meet Jareth, a photographer. He needed someone to “star” in his pictures and run them to the clients after they were developed and she was in the right place at the right time. With her as the model it made the pictures seem all the more magical. Alexia grew to love photography and wanted to pursue it herself, so she decided to ask her father to help her in purchasing a camera. He was a bit ticked off at her for working without his knowledge but overall he was proud of her for taking care of her siblings and herself, as well as the fact that she was no fool. They both never mentioned the fact that with both incomes they hardly made ends meet. Her younger siblings were under the impression that they were just fine and kept a happy carefree attitude, which was just what both Alexia and her father wanted them to see in the world. A good place, a happy one. She continued to work with Jareth and even learned how to take pictures from him, she never mentioned her desire to get her own camera and possibly double their business. Over the next few years she became business savvy and proved she had the eye for photography, both Jareth and her father noticed this as on occasion Jareth would let Alexia take the sample pictures of her home to her family. Her father was wary sometimes, but he knew like him she was very stubborn and set in her ways. Towards her birthday Jareth gave her a bonus, and told her to spend it wisely. It was almost enough for a camera, so she ran home to ask her father if she could buy one. He looked at the almost 15 year old Alexia and smiled as he told her not to worry about it, as he had already went and bought her a camera. She was overjoyed with the gift, and she never asked how her father got the money but she cherished the camera. The very first image she took of it was of her family. It was noticed by both of them that she was very good with a camera and was capable of making money off of it. Jareth asked her if she'd like to become an associate with him and help with work, she immediately said yes. For a few years she would go and take pictures as well as deliver them to her clients, and she made a steady profit from it. Upon turning 19 she was making a lot of money, enough to be able to treat her family to a good Christmas. So she set out to buy all of them nice gifts, unaware of the blizzard approaching. After she had purchased them she went to make her way home, and was caught in the middle of the storm. She considered it a miracle she didn't die in the storm, however after she found her way to the civilization she'd realize was Cirque-Des-Reves she doubted whether or not she actually made it out of the storm. To this day she was still never able to give the small gifts to her siblings and father, but she has kept them since. One in particular she holds close is her sister's amulet, inside she has another small picture she'd taken of them only a few months before.
TL;DR: Since her family wasn't in a good standing economically she took odd jobs and eventually ended up helping a photographer (Jareth) which spawned her love for it. Since it made her money she continued to work with him and since she'd been such a help she'd been gifted with money on her 15th birthday, upon asking her father for a loan it was discovered that he had bought her a camera as a birthday present and allowed her to continue the work in photography. Alexia continued to pursue photography and remained working with Jareth since she was unable to have a business on her own. By the time she was 19 she'd been making enough that she was able to have extra money for the material things that her family was usually unable to afford and since it was around Christmas she decided to treat all of them, only to get caught up in the nasty blizzard on her way home.

I love her color pallet and hopefully there's enough white (this is kind of bright for me OTL).
As I was drawing this I also thought she'd be able to turn into a magical girl.
I also love her hair color, which is a lovely color.
And her shoes. They are amazing.
EDIT: I revamped the history (which is longer omg) and made her stockings more white.
