Help me with a costume?

Not sure what forum this should go under, but I figured the artsy section was probably best.

I don't normally need help with costumes, but I just cannot wrap my head around this character. Any suggestions are welcome, but please don't take offense if I don't use your idea. (I've spent well over two hours on this myself and still can't come up with something I like.)

Here are three of my attempts, none of which are working for me:

- Must use Hair: Leaves with Flower
- Must use platform boots
- Color scheme above is preferred (bright baby blue, icy bright sea green, pink accents)
- Prefer something unique (not using the same costume piece, such as chiton, for every single part)
- Prefer something not cliche/overdone (goes hand in hand with above)
- I'm mostly uncomfortable with a lot of skin showing, but I have done tights to death so I'm open to ideas
- I'm kinda thinking of her being the child of a Devouring Earth somethingorother, so costume should make sense for that. (As in, probably not "school girl")
- Plant/Ice Dominator

Any ideas are very much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Hopefully, something useful will be in this design.

Hmm, thank you for the design, Teenage Kid! For the ones I was doing I always had the hair basically the same color as the skin, but I think your design looks better, with the hair a much different color. It helps set off her face more.. thank you very much!

Thanks, I thought it was a pretty neat challenge. It's an interesting power set at the very least.

The powerset choices were inspired by a friend. I heard him mention plant/ice and my brain went "*perk* HMMMM?" Not as if I need more alts, but hey. I don't know if he was talking about a plant/ice controller or a dominator, but either way the sets sounded like a lot of fun to put together. (I haven't done icy assault yet, either, and ice sword circle is making me drool. WANT!! *grabby hands*)

I have completed her design, thanks to all of the help I received here and in the Live Journal CoH community. I think I pretty much took something from everyone's idea, though I heavily borrowed from one person in particular. (And threw something of my own in there too!) Here is the final pic:

Thank you again for all your help, everyone. I'm excited about this character, I'm sure she's going to be lots of fun to play!
