Nenya character sheet

Description

Nenya Lostolv
Age: 16-17
Species: Human
Occupation: Princess

She's a very new character (for me, anyway) so she's not entirely finished yet, but her personality and most of her history is done so I figured I'd do a sheet for her.
Also she's very hard for me to draw and I need the practice.

History:
As the youngest daughter in a rather large royal family, Nenya grew up with a lot of free time on her hands and not a lot of supervision. Luckily for her family, she's a a good kid. Unluckily for her family, she's also very curious and has an annoyingly uncanny knack for attracting less-than-savory people. Finally, at 16, her father got sick of her getting into trouble all the time and assigned to her a bodyguard named Kaneshka (who would eventually become the bitch known as Knives).
Her father would live to regret it.

Personality:
As her world is magic-based and based heavily on old-school JRPGs, Nenya starts out at the token blonde princess. She's cute, kind, friendly, optimistic and slightly clumsy. As the plot develops, her character does too, revealing her to be also incredibly intelligent with a gift for magic. She pretends to be much stupider than she is because she believes that "nobody wants a smart princess".
In another world, she might be competent, but as it is, her sheltered upbringing has made her naive and quite oblivious. As she explores the world, she also verges on gaining a nasty guilt complex for not realizing how hard things can be for other people. She adores books and has spent most of her life reading and learning. Sadly, her fondness for fiction has further cemented her already unusual worldview and her grasp of reality is...loose, to say the least.
Her willingness to believe in lost causes and people long past the point where they can be saved is almost legendary. It's both her greatest strength and her greatest weakness.

Notes:
I tend to think of Nenya's main arc as being in the past and Knives as in the present. Kaneshka (the ponytailed girl up in the upper-left corner) is in some ways very different from Knives, and Nenya is to thank for a good part of that. I'll probably do a separate sheet for her later.
Nenya's past is a bit more detailed than that, but I want to leave some secrets for spoilers. Let it suffice to say that the royal family is pretty messed up and there's a reason her siblings aren't hanging around the palace.
I'm trying to make her cute without being annoying, I hope I succeeded!
