Sophia

Once I finished Steppe Brother, I wanted to make him a friend.  I really like my Internationals to be in pairs.  Usually I do a boy and girl, but the Eskimo has the husky dog and my Paco has a donkey.  There's a Carolyn DeAngelis pattern for a cute Peruvian girl, and she might get a llama.  But I digress. 

Sophia is the pattern designed to go with Steppe Brother, but she's a little random:

And she looks suspiciously like Happy Heidi, but with different hair:  

I did a little searching for traditional Russian costumes and landed on these two images I liked:

  

I took elements from the two of them and put a new spin on Sophia: 

She looks kind of nondescript on her own, but when you see the pair, it makes sense.
