Adana Moves ... to the Meadow?

Description

Herpderp background because I didn't feel like doing a house and she's covered in dirt anyways...

New character that I wrote up the idea for a while back.
And I just got Sai (thanks to ~sami86404's suggestion), so I thought I'd actually draw something not template-based.

Annnnnnd now for a wall of text:

Name: Adana Foster
Age: 18 years
Gender: Female
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 130lbs
Cup Size: B36
Personality: Nostalgic, cautiously optimistic, somewhat introverted but friendly when necessary
Powers: Psychometry (to the point of empathy)
Hobbies: Gardening, playing with animals and small children, reading, journaling
Backstory: Her father left her (still in the womb) and her mother, Avina, as soon as he found out about the pregnancy and impending bastard child and was never seen again. Her mother refused to terminate the pregnancy and worked as a forest ranger until she was forced to retreat into her cottage to give birth to Adana, thus the surname "Foster".
Adana was always very close to her mother and would often go home after school only to drop off her bag before meeting Avina in the forests that she guarded. However, when Adana was fifteen, Avina was trampled to death by a herd of deer that had been agitated by hunters - while Adana was watching.
The trauma of that event caused her psychometry to appear as she was crying into the rabbit plushie that her father had gotten Avina on their first date and that had since been passed down to Adana; it was then that she felt the love her father had for her mother, the rejection her mother felt when he left, and the love her mother had always had for Adana despite the less-than-ideal conditions of her conception and birth.
Shocked but reassured by the continued connection to her dead mother, Adana decided that she needed to move away, find a place of her own, and start her own life. She knew Avina would have liked it that way.
Over the course of the move, she grew adjusted (though increasingly annoyed) by her new abilities - she couldn't turn them off and not even the thickest leather gloves blocked them out, so everything her hands touched told their story to her. Where they'd been, who had owned them, and the emotions of their owners all came to her in an instant. During her travels, however, she met a seedy-looking merchant claiming to sell "magic gloves". She tried them on and could no longer feel any of the "psychic spoor" that so plagued her!
Soon after that, Adana found another small village to call her home, this time bordering a lake instead of a river. There conveniently happened to be a quaint little house with a white picket fence for sale, and her mother's inheritance was more than enough to buy it.
She's lived in that same house for almost three years and has since taken up gardening and nurturing the local wildlife. Over those three years, she has also learned to control her psychometry enough that she rarely wears her magic gloves - she always keeps them close, though.
She doesn't have any true friends, but most of the other villagers stop by to say hello from time to time and check up on her. She's especially fond of the village children and always has some kind of baked goods ready for them.
