This is Hanna, a vixen that I've been formulating for around 2 years at this point, but was never satisfied enough with her design to finish it and post it until now. Here she's taking a quintessential bathroom selfie, and cropping it to emphasize her outfit and tattoo.
The genesis of this character was that I wanted to draw a character with a very appealing body/figure, but a face that doesn't quite match the rest (or, in cruder terms: "butterface", meaning "but her face"). This proved to be a surprisingly difficult challenge, finding the right balance. Going "too ugly" proved to be a mixture of comical and uncanny valley, but I also had to specifically avoid making her face "too pretty".
She was originally a red fox, and I wrestled with the design off-and-on during these 2 years. It always came off as too weird and too forced. Then I had a breakthrough when seeing images of a Tibetan sand fox. Its muzzle shape and face are rather... unusual, and that proved to be the missing link. Hanna promptly became a voluptuous Tibetan sand fox.
Now, onto personality: Hanna is very self-conscious about her face and may have faced prior ridicule for it and the "mismatch" between it and her body. Despite this, she has developed a bit of an online following, after being inspired by Cassandra's camshows and selfies. Her online persona is an alter-ego of her real-world self: online she is outgoing, ostentatious and flaunts her figure while making it part of her "brand" to always conceal her face (cropping, emoji, masks, etc). Also, online she refers to herself as a different species of fox, as a few have similar patterns.
In the real world, Hanna doesn't hide her face, but keeps a low profile. She conceals her figure with frumpy/baggy clothing (and perhaps chest binding), worrying that people would only talk to her because of her body. She also wants to avoid being connected to her online self, fearing what could happen. For relationships, ideally she'd like to meet someone who shows interest in her while she's concealed, and she would reveal herself to them when she's confident enough that their interest in her is genuine.
I'll see how people respond to her, which may influence if I draw more of her. Also, this picture uses my old lineart style because it's from that era.

I think she’s really cute. I think even nerdy girls with big glasses can have hot and attractive bodies like your character has here. She can give changes to her face if she wishes, but I think Hanna should come out and show her face with pride to her friends and her fans at some point in the future.
The facial design definitely screams "seclusion". The dull expression and wider maw reminds me of the kind of structure more suitable for business attire such as librarians or office assistants. Personally I think she's gorgeous even with her unusual facial structure. Was definitely a choice to take on such a challenge compared to your usual works, and I for one am interested in seeing where you take her if you do end up drawing more of her beyond the concept/background introduction :P
