Description
Mystery Solved! Some of you smarties have figured out my secret.
This obscure character is named Gloria Goldfinger. She's tall, slim and vain, and has a taste for expensive jewelry. Her hair colour changes often. She seems to be the brains of the group.
Gloria is from the Usborne Puzzle Adventures, a series of children's books that have a puzzle for you to solve on every page, as you progress though a mystery story that often (although not always) involves the theft of some ancient treasure. She's a member of the nefarious Dopple Gang, a ruthless bunch of crooks who like nothing better than uncovering artifacts whose locations have been unknown for hundreds of years - then making sure the locations remain unknown.
Thanks to everyone who took a guess at Gloria's origins, you were amazing!

Nope!
This is way more obscure than either of those.
Everyone is going to hate me when the truth comes out, I'm afraid. "WAT that doesn't even exist how could we know about it"
But I am HOLDING IT IN MY HAND, it so exists.

Was she part of the Whodunit Mystery Series? XDD;; I really doubt it though. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope - but that's kind of along the right lines, sort of.
For anybody reading the comments faithfully, I'll give another and say clearly that it's something aimed at children.

If we're given multiple guesses, my next one is Nancy Drew? /shot in the dark

Nope, not Nancy Drew! That's another series I read, though. Man, I must have read a million of those.

Boxcar Children? Encyclopedia Brown? Madeline?
GAH. I read so many books when I was young. XDDD BOOKWORMS FTW.

Nope, nope, nope.
Did you ever watch the Encyclopedia Brown videos? I loved those!

I'm stumped now. xDDD Truly fascinating!
And YES. I vaguely remember watching them and squeeing with glee

Is she from some sort of mystery novel?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sort of! But novel is probably overreaching a bit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, not at all. It's an incredibly obscure series I loved as a kid, but I don't even know anyone else who ever heard of it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well that's difficult. XD Any chance you can give me the author..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Afraid not. XD It would pop up on Google, then!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have no idea, then.
Lovely drawing, by the way. I love how you drew the leg.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, but that's a really good guess, and in the right sort of ... arena?

damn!

I don't know any other animated cartoon shows.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not a cartoon show - it's books!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah!
I've never heard of 'em.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
No - but that's a very good guess.
I did read those and love them as a kid. The ones where you had to solve the mystery and turn them upside down to read the answers.

XD I'm going to keep thinking on this one then!
I haven't read any but I used to love the game when I was younger, I'd love to do one of those murder mystery dinner nights but I hear they're expensive
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh maaaan, I would so love to do that. It would make my life.
Maybe for my honeymoon or something, someday (how romantic)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD lmao that would be an awesome honeymoon!

Just get catering and hire some highscool actors, or college ones. 20$/night is something I'd go for, and you can rent costumes, or get them at after halloween sales, depending on how involved you want it to be. And honestly, I'd just steal the plot from a CLUE book, or game scenario. I'd do it with friends, only have a fancy dress-up costume party and every person would be a CLUE type character. The body would have to be my sister, because she makes a pretty awesome zombie.

lol I want to say that she's from a super hero movie other then that I have no idea.
btw, Very nice coloring I love the red dress
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!
Actually, she's not from a movie at all - the category I put this in is a clue, too. I am all about clues <--- THAT ALSO IS A CLUE.

I seriously have no clue. I googled her and it came up with a lot of random things.
The only thing that matched the name was an article on Artlaw where the name "Gloria Goldfinger" features as an example on Auction Sales. :S
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha!
Yeah, I googled it before giving her name to see if it would come up.
The thing she's from is incredibly obscure, and she's a minor character, so even Google doesn't know her - amazing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The fact that you know something that Google doesn't just amuses me to no end.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I just read in the newspaper today that Google only knows about 5% of all the information in the world... Now I don't know how correct that is, but then there'd be a really large chance that you also know something Google doesn't know!

It scares me a little XD

Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic series? xD I'm totally guessing by the way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good guess, but nope!
Even if nobody can figure it out, I'll get a lot of good additions to my reading list.

Shot in the dark here, but Artemis Fowl?
Regardless, this drawing is lovely. Everything about her is just so dang slender and sophisticated.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, it's not Artemis Fowl. Thanks very much!

The only Goldfinger I recall is the one from the James Bond movies, but I doubt it'd be relevant to this. Must...try...harder...with brain! :concentrates:

I'm really kind of a cheater - it's veeery obscure. I don't even know anyone else who would know this. But I can't be the only one, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Um. A series of unfortunate events? *just guessing*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mmmnope! Good guess, though!

Yea, I figured I was wrong. xD
