She is La adelita Carmen G. "La eterna"
She is a mexicann woman ,nobody really knows what era she belongs to, since she has very futuristic technology, but she likes the clothes from the time of the Mexican revolution (1910), she was based on the adelitas, since they are one of the representations of strong Mexican women. Also, as part of her identity, she is body painted as a catrina ,as a representation of death and what it means in Mexican culture.
She does not consider herself a vigilante or a superhero, but she is obsessed with what she could be ... that is why she travels to emblematic moments of Mexican history not to change them, but to know what it could be in the event if history was different.

-1-the hat is inspired from "talavera" which is kind of painting.
-2-She has a catrina make-up.
-3-The weapon she carries is a modified rifle Winchester 1895 that was used in the Mexican revolution, this weapon is capable of shooting plasma "chile de arbol" bullets
She also has some molotov bombs made from famous liquids form Mexico such as tequila, Mezcal and salsa.
-4-Her clothes are a combination of adelitas clothes and regional Mexican dancers.
She also carries a engraved belt ,that let her travel in time , she just configure a date and the year appears in the center of it.
-5-Colors of the Mexican flag.

Artistic inspiration:
For this illustration, I had a very clear vision that I did not want it to look like a video game or that style of illustrations, Mexican art was my inspiration, the murals, engravings, posters, etc.
So my illustration was intended as a mural or poster (as shown in the image), like much of Mexican art, it has an explosion of colors, textures, which can be difficult to read, but the detail and the way of telling a story or representing a scene in Mexican art has a lot of movement and color.

This second image is my vision of the illustration as an old engraved poster.

Title: What could it be...
Author: Wlfrano G

In this illustration we can see my character the delita "La Eterna" in one of her temporary trips, in this case she traveled to the Cholula massacre that took place in 1591 where a group of Spanish conquerors attacked the indigenous Mexicans without warning. ,where they did not have help and were celebrating, for this reason "La Eterna" decided in one of his adventures to help and to know what could be of this event with her help.

I had planned to use a png file for the end, but unfortunately I could not compress my illustration so much without losing much quality and within the necessary measures of the file, a blue similar to the background of the web page acts as the back of my illustration.
(The png file is in the previous post)

Stil think the idea with the peperoni is so cool Maybe you could define the hat (backview) a bit more, just a little bit more contrast?
What I really like is your choice of the background colors, it makes her pop greatly^^
