Description
The first of all, please enlarge for full view!

After I saw so many people (including AngelOfBeauty88 and Eolewyn1010 ) doing the challenge, I decided to try and make one for my character as well. Sadly I had to remove some tasks or replace them with another ones what I could fulfil. Not sure if I will succeed, but at least here is the beginning.
NB I actually made them one per day, but could not post on dA due to the glitches of my computer. For the future I will try to follow the term "one per day" more literally.

Day 01 - Introduction
I have the honour to introduce Lady Anne Hayle. She is the main character in one of my most favourite own stories.

Birth name: Lady Regina Anne Hayle. But for Heaven's sake do not call her Regina! She hates this name.
Gender: Female
Nationality: Englishwoman
Age: 18 during the main story (apparently she is older when making her appearance in subsequent short stories)
Birthday: October 19, 1819
Zodiac: Libra
A kind of annotation for her character:
Anne lives in a fictitious world (they call it alternative or parallel), in a country that the most of all resembles United Kingdom of early Victorian era, but it is rather a very liberal interpretation with mere remains of historical truth.
She has rich chestnut hair and bright green eyes. And she is very lovely although she does not think about it at all.
She believes that fashion is not everything. “Thoughtless copying of fashionable costumes, hairstyles and habits can divest you of individuality and therefore you should above all take into account if this concrete thing suits you particularly, and not if it is fashionable this season”. In respect of herself, she has good taste and likes calm colours of green and blue palette, along with browns and pastels.
She loves music and enjoys playing the clavichord and harp, what she is really good at.
She is clever and observant, but her aunt says that she is a little more self-confident than is needed and thinks that only she is able to see things in the right way.
Anne, or Lady Regina Anne Hayle as she was named at birth, is daughter of earl of Summerville and it would seem she should share her circle’s convictions and views on life. But she is different. She does not like when one has nothing to be proud of but their noble birth. She is sincere and has easy manner, due to that she cannot endure any kind of pretence, dissimulation or ostentatious courtesy.
And when her parents offer her to think about a prospect of marriage with duke of Chealthorn, one of the most noble and wealthy men in the country, she refuses indignantly. “Fortunately I am not enough silly or vain to marry a duke!”.
But who may know, perhaps in the future she will have to change her mind?..

I tried to picture her appearance during one of significant moments in the story *desperate attempt to make a tartan pattern* but in real her dress is much lighter, of cream colour and of slightly different design. However I like the necklace.

I chose her because she is one of my favourite OCs (and has a certain amount of my traits in character).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 02 - Cosplay
Here is Anne as Andromeda, the heroine of ancient Greek myth about Perseus.

About the outfit.
I know it is not historically accurate. But honestly I have no idea what the fashion of Ethiopia was like at that time.
So I just let myself play with D&D. Generally I like how it looks, the colour combination and especially the hairstyle.
I chose it because in the story she actually goes to the carnival dressed as Andromeda (in quite different outfit but nevertheless). Besides her situation has a little resemblance to the myth - there is a damsel in distress but a decent man comes to change her life to better.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 03 - Mythical creature
I tried to picture her as a kind of forest nymph or nature spirit.

Quite simple and evident. But the colour combination (green grasses, yellow flowers and warm red berries) looks right.

I chose this image because green is one of her favourite colours and to me green is easily associated with the nature.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 04 - In different maker
Here is my attempt to portray Anne in Princess Scene maker by madmoiselleclau and dolldivine . Actually I took already existing one from this picture . But still she is made by me in another dress-up game, right?

I chose this game because it has the right skirt shape for ballgown of her fashion period, so it is fairly historically accurate.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 05 - Flowery outfit
Anne in a flower-inspired outfit. Not as good as I would like it to be, but I tried.

I chose iris because it is one of my favourite flowers. Besides in spite of being not as symmetrically accurate, still it has a special charm and elegance what also suits Anne - she does not like any rules and limitations.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 06 - Formal wear
Here is Anne in a formal outfit, the court dress and tiara.
As you can say from her expression, she does not like it very much, and she just hates this ridiculous hairstyle!..

I chose this outfit because she is dressed in it at the "official portrait" in her parents' home gallery.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 07 - Persons of interest
Originally it was called "Love Interest". But since as far as I understand, it means "a person whom you are interested in", I decided to change the title because it is quite contrary here (for those ones are who took a certain interest in her).

In red - Philip, the Duke of Chealthorn, the man whom Anne's parents, paternal aunt and great-aunt want her to marry
In green - Edward, the Duke of Marlborough, the man whom Anne's brother and maternal aunt would like her to marry

So you can see two young men who, at some point, took interest in this young lady.
As both of them are almost equally noble, wealthy and handsome, this is going to be a difficult choice.... Or is it really?
Well, in fact there is no choice at first, because for one of them Anne takes an instant dislike, and the other she considers being indifferent to her untill the very moment of declaration of his feelings towards her. But later everything will change significantly, so in the end, she still would have to make the choice between infatuation and gratitude.

I had a lot of fun trying to make them in this game, especially with the hairstyles.
The foggy things she is holding in her arms are my poor attempts to make a lace veil.
And these two roses - they remind me either of the Wars of the Roses, or of Lannisters and Starks from "A Song of Ice and Fire"... Or of Capulet and Montague from "Romeo and Juliet"- even the first letters of their titles match , besides their families indeed have never got on well...

I chose them both because one way or another, there was a proposal made to her from the part of each of them.
A considerate person would probably manage to guess which one she accepted...
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 08 - With Disney look-alike
I would say that it is not literally "look-alike" because as little as I know about Disney, I could not find a character with brown hair and green eyes... However here is Anne standing next to Belle.

I made them both in Christmas outfits, although it shows their diversity rather than similarity.

I chose Belle because she and Anne share the passion for reading. Besides she also has brown hair and is considered a beauty.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 09 - Dressed up as another OC
Here is Anne in an outfit of Italian Renaissance fashion, dressed up as Violanta, one of my first OCs. Actually it is something like what Violanta wore to the church in the end of the story.

I chose Violanta because along with Anne she is one of my favourite own characters, as just stubborn, courageous, clever and noble-hearted.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 10 - In Hogwarts uniform with their Patronus
Well, I simply can say that I tried... And failed at everything. You can only guess that I intended to make her Ravenclaw uniform and her Patronus is supposed to be a swallow.

I chose Ravenclaw because I thought it would suit her affinity to meditating over various things. As to Patronus, honestly I do not know. Flight symbolises freedom, and what bird does fly more than the fast dainty swallow?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Day 11 - Opposite side
I tried (naturally not quite successfully) to make Anne as femme fatale.

I chose this image because in my opinion it's the most opposite to Anne's personality, save for beauty and charm.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 12 - Time period
It was evident as long as the exact time is defined. Anne was born in 1819 and the story begins in the year 1837.

She wears pink here although it is not one of her favourite colours (she prefers greens and warm blues). But she is a brunette, and pink colour was considered suitable for dark-haired women at those times.

I made this outfit relatively simple because the game provides certain difficulties when it touches tiny details such as lace and dainty patterns that give the true fascination to the garments of that time.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 13 - Night clothes
Strictly speaking her night clothes is a night-dress only, but she wears dressing-gown at evening and early morning.

I chose to make a dressing-gown too because I could not resist making a dressing-gown as well, for it offered the opportunity to make complicated fabric pattern.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 14 - Colour challenge
I took this task as "to make your OC in the colour which is unpreferable/seldom worn". As she tends to cream/green/blue palette, red would be the most obvious choice. However here she is in a peach dress.

I chose peach because as opposed to red she have never worn, she actually wears a peach coloured outfit - this is one of her wedding gowns what I tried to picture here (extremely simplified and not quite faithful to the original design). Here is the more accurate version of it.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 15 - Elemental
Although I do not especially believe in horoscopes in real life, I like to arrange fictitious characters into various elements.

Besides this rather unusual theme gives the chance to experiment with D&D in the game. I tried to picture every aspect and kind of water - stream, waterfall, rain, ice, snow, rime, bubles, mist and rainbow water fog.

I chose water because first of all, I adore water. Second, Anne's character is well based on mine one and from four elements I would most of all relate myself to water.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 16 - Royalty
Here is Anne dressed as royalty. I took inspiration from Queen Victoria's portraits.

I chose to make her as royalty because apparently she is not a royalty. Although later as a duchess she will wear a tiara and have a crown in her coat of arms, but it is not the same naturally .
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 17 - Computer game
Actually the task was to make your OC in video game. But I did not/do not play this kind of games - I like calm logical ones where you have to search hidden objects and guess puzzles.

I chose Jane Morion from "Mystery of Unicorn Castle" because the game takes place in a wonderful old manor that has the proper air of the "old times". Actually it was a part of inspiration behind ''The True Story''.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Day 18 - With family
Here is Anne with her parents and siblings (which stay in the wrong order if to speak of priority - actually Henry is the eldest and Anne is the youngest but I decided to place them near each other because he is the one whom she gets along the best of all her siblings).

I decided to edit this picture a bit because I was too lazy to make the proper wide skirt for the countess from D&D.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Day 19 - Superhero or supervillain
Here is Anne dressed in style of Jean Grey from Marvel comics "X-Men". I know the outfit is not quite accurate, I kind of mixed two different ones together.

I chose Jean Grey because... of no special reasons actually, it is just she has green eyes and wears a green outfit.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Day 20 - Modern clothes
You could hardly call it "modern" outfit though. But it is something from at least XX century what surely can be taken as "modern" by Anne who lived in the nineteenth century and wore floor-lenght skirts.

I chose violet colour with blue sheen because I like this combination. And I edited her chin line to make her look more skinny.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Day 21 - Patriotic
Here is Anne in an outfit inspired by the flag and emblems of the United Kingdom, her native land. She is holding a red rose as a symbol of England where she was born, hence the cross of Saint George as well. However at her hemline I tried to picture the plants symbolising all four lands - red rose for England, thistle for Scotland, daffodil (I know it looks awful) for Wales and shamrock for Ireland.

There were several ways to interpret this task but I decided to go with not so popular rendition and make my OC wearing the colours and symbols of her homeland.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Day 22 - Celebrity style
I tried to make something worthy to wear at red carpet. But there is too much of glitter.

I chose dark blue because this very image - dark blue dress and long black gloves - come to my mind immediately as I think of red carpet. Actually it is similar to the outfit worn by another OC of mine. But as long as they are alike in appearance (chestnut hair and green eyes), I decided that it would suit Anne as well.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Day 23 - Divinity
Here is Anne as Eirene, Greek goddess of peace, that is why she is holding an olive branch which is the symbol of peace .
Her outfit is not very historically accurate, but I like it, especially the colour combination.

I chose Eirene because of several reasons. Initially I was going to make either Hestia or one of Charites. But then I just let myself to play with D&D and when I have finished, it looked rather like Egyptian. I recalled Maat, Egyptian goddess of truth and justice but then decided that it would be too exotic. So finally I settled on Eirene, besides peace is what I want for the world the most of all.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Day 24 - With creator
So here is me in pyjamas and Anne in her carnival Greek-inspired outfit (I edited it to make the skirt more narrow).

I made myself in pyjamas because I often have time to think of my characters only at evenings before falling asleep.
______________________________________________________________________________________

Day 25 - Wedding gown
Here is Anne in another of her wedding outfits, this one is the one she wore to her second wedding.

It is simplified because I could not recreate the lace overlay at her skirt properly. Actually it also has a lace frill decorated with small bouqets of roses near the hemline.
