Hetta as Beauty

This is my sixth picture in my series of OC heroines as fairytale heroines. I chose my favourite OC Hetta Hartchase to portray my favourite fairytale heroine- Beauty from 'Beauty and the Beast.'
Hetta, like Beauty, is forced to live with a 'Beast' (Hadrian, my male courtesan and Moriarty figure seen behind Hetta's shoulder) when she marries him in order to save John's life (the man she loves).
But over time, Hetta comes to love Hadrian- though she never admits it to herself, to John or Hadrian!
Since it's 200 years since 'Pride and Prejudice' was published (which can always be linked to the fairytale) I decided to set the piece in the regency age. (I based part of my colour scheme on Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast' too!)
