I'm trying to perfect my contest entry and I'd appreciate any advice. ^_^

Lucy from the wardrobe?

Despite the background, no.

Then I haven't a clue XD I assumed Lucy because of the Lamp Post, the hair and the background.

The Lamp Post only makes me think of Narnia. :/ Maybe... you're someone from Harry Potter?

I'm not from Narnia or Harry Potter.

The little match girl?

Yes! :)

I still remember H.C. Andersen stories from when I was a kid, don't know how to improve it though. Maybe a scarf that covers the shoulders more?

Thanks. The story is so tragically beautiful. I was looking for a shawl but couldn't find anything suitable.

Maybe those Sackcloth arm covers, like [item=Pale Sackcloth (Left Arm)] would fit?

That looks great, thanks!
