Awesome capture! It certainly does reflect Yuki's personality!
I have a few suggestions for the shot. Would you be interested in hearing them?

I really love the composition, but perhaps it would be an improvement to crop out the extra bit of the glass panels that snuck into the shot on top? It competes for the attention just a little bit. It's very minor, but I really love how the surroundings are relatively dark save for the lit up glass in front of Yuuki and it really puts the focus on her.
As for the colors - that burst of cyan near Yuuki's hands and around the tree tops is a little distracting since all the other colors are rather subdued. Maybe you could edit them to match the surrounding greens? And I love the subtle hints of blue, green and purple on Yuuki and the ledge she's sitting on, but maybe you can edit the colors of the view on the window? Maybe make it a bit more blue, the whites less yellowish, and a bit desaturated for it to have that wintry feel that ties in with Yuuki's name also to suit the pensive mood.
These are just my suggestions and it's totally up to you to consider them. I'm sure have your own vision for this photo, and I totally respect that.

Haha, first of all I would like to thank you for the detailed reply. I really appreciate it.
I think you have a point about the upper part of the photo but its not in my habit to crop my photos (if anything, the last photo I did crop was one of the Chobits photo I took early last year)... attempting to compensate by framing it lower would in effect, alter the balance of the photo itself.
For the colours, I tried my best to edit them to the best of my abilities although I wasn't able to selectively edit them due to the fact that I am colour blind. Haha, I didn't know about Yuuki's name in detail
Anyway, thank you very much for your comment ^^

Ah, I totally understand that. 
Oh wow, I did not know that about you! I'm even more amazed now because your photos show great color sensibility.
Well, Yuuki's name can be taken as either a combination of the words "yuu" (kind) and "ki" (princess); but it's said that her dad got her name from Yuki-onna, a legendary snow princess/spirit who is said to be beautiful. Yuki is the Japanese word for snow, and that's why I was saying it might tie all the elements together if the photo looked somewhat like it was winter. I remember one of my favorite photos from you - Battousai on the bridge - had that kind of color mood. ^^
Nonetheless, this is an excellent photo just the way it is!

So cute!!
Love the big window!
I love the fact shes not looking this way.
It makes her seem more real!

I guess a shot of her looking towards me would be quite cliche, to be honest. Thanks!
