Let's revisit the sketch - as with the Viking there are a lot of small distractions that can do with some adjusting.
First off I think I found what you may have used as a loose reference for her facial features - Megan's eyes and this still for the face, brows and mouth:
The main issue with this is the upward perspective in the reference, while you illustration is viewing downwards, distorting her mouth and jawline.
I've roughed out the below:
Jawline & Mouth: adjust the alignment and size of the mouth as it's just a bit too small and off centre with the rest of her face. The Jawline also needs a little filling out on the far side, as her form is not as gaunt as the sunken cheeks would indicate.
Foot/Shoe: Reconsider this original placement - the revision showing the toes awkwardly splayed to the side looks painful and less realistic than this position.
Hands: the left [her right] hand appeared too short so I've roughed out the new elbow and wrist placement that would balance it with her right arm, as well as how she's resting her weight on that palm. The fingers also should interact with the form more. Her left [our right] appeared more in a slashing gesture so consider adding more life to the finger placement to illustrate this.
