I sort of don’t understand whether this character is wearing plants or made of plants. I understand that fairies and nymphs can be both; as magical creatures they don’t have to abide by human understanding. But is that thing on their head a hat or hair? Did the leaves at their ankles sprout like wings? Are her fingertips stained with berry juice or made of berry skin? If I looked at, say, her eyebrows very closely, would they perhaps be leaves? This isn’t a complaint, just a thing the image made me think about.
This image could use a bit more work on the depth in places. The dress and torso and face are great, but their left leg and left arm feel a little flat. I feel like the right leg is maybe turned at a weird angle or raised back too high? They just look odd to me.
A great expression on this character, very good color choices, and despite my not being sure of their nature I do like their fashion sense and liveliness. That smile looks so happy and those limbs and fingers pointing every direction give the impression of chaos and energy.

Thanks for the crit! The ambiguity of wether the leaves are clothes or just parts of the body are intentional. Keeping it that way gives mythical creatures a type of mystique since they don't follow conventions like us (things like clothes and hair).
