Guinevere from Fire Emblem: The Sword of Seals. Or Binding Blade, whatever you crazy kids are calling it these days.
Out of the many princesses in the Fire Emblem series, most of whom go on epic quests to forcefully claim the wrongfully taken thrones of their countries - or just hire some valiant warriors to do it for them instead - Guinevere is my favorite. She's super pretty, for one thing. And she's a bit more appealing to me in that, unlike just about every other princess figure in the recent FE's (I don't know about 1-5 since I haven't played them), she doesn't really end the game all happy peachy when she gets her throne. I mean she wins the war and all, but she basically ends up in charge of a country that just got owned hard and which, for the most part, pretty much hates her guts.
So Guinevere's got it tough. But she still stays gutsy in spite of it all (though not enough to actually fight for you in your army har har har. Which is a pity since her stats are pretty awesome).
In retrospect I see that her face is like...hideously malformed here. I've fixed it since then, though! I SWEAR.
It didn't come out here, no. I borrowed a Japanese import from my friend last year (and still haven't returned it. Ah ha ha, whoops). It's been fan-translated and put up online in a lot of places, though, with a really rockin' translation to boot, so it's not that hard to find.

Yay Guinivere! I liked her myself, as well as her child!version. I really like the detail on the ends of her cloak thing-they add a nice touch. And the castle background too yo!
Tot Guinevere is just adorable. Very different from her adult self in terms of demeanor, though; poor kid.
The castle BG was a really spur-of-the-moment thing - originally it was just going to be plain brown with a white square somewhere behind her head (I have absolutely no sense of design). But my college interview guy told me about how I should try to put a real background in everything, even if it's a really simple one, so I ended up throwing that together. It took way longer than it should have, haha.

Yay for Guinevere! It's kind of tragic, her family history as seen in 6 and 7...
I love the coloring on the face! That turned out especially well, I'd say. The eyes and cheeks especially! ^^ Quite the thick outline, too, but that's part of your style and adds to the overall awesomeness, but it does stick out.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
