It kind of looks like she is reflecting on her life.
You should write a backstory to her, and how she is/becomes so flexible and acrobatic.

I do plan to write a story about her, but I don't think I have a strong enough plot to work with.

If you don't have much plot, plan it out so that you have more descriptive language in the story. It not only adds to the story length more but also to the imagery within it.

Well, the premise is that there's Sylvia (secondary protagonist and the girl with the curlie queue) who was with her classmate, a contortion otaku, who went off to interview a circus troupe for their school report. Sylvia, who was not really that interested with the whole thing, wanders off and in the hidden part of the public garden, she sees Kohana practicing her routine. She was intrigued, and so they talked and, though Sylvia was a bit weirded out by contortion girl, the latter made some sort of an impression on the former. When Sylvia rejoined otaku guy and watched the troupe's performance, and saw Kohana perform, Sylvia was surprised when otaku guy told her that Kohana was actually the troupe's top star and rising star of the circus world (not to mention that he openly whined about Sylvia getting a chance to talk to her first and not him).
I do have this idea of developing a Romantic Two Girl Friendship [[link] ] between contortion girl and secondary girl, but I'm totally lost on the "plot" part. Truth is, I don't have any idea how this should progress.

What you should do is look at the problems that arises between when Sylvia finds out about Kohana and hiring her. These will be your "Complications" that need to be overcome in the story.
Choose one of these problems; one of the most crucial to the result. This will become your "Climax" when it is solved, as it is the most important and most focused.
From then I'd suggest creating a flow between identifying these problems and solving them, and interlace them with certain events. These events can be either planned on their own or based on the problems, but as long as they work together it should come out fine.

Wait, hiring? Unless I'm reading it wrong, Sylvia doesn't own an entertainment join or anything like that.

I thought Kohana was hired as a maid. I must be mistaken then.
Either way it still means pretty much the same. Start from what you said above to what you draw.

Oh, the "maid" costume. Well, my idea is that Sylvia and her friends/acquaintances actually got to put Kohana's talents to use; and one of them is by getting her to perform for certain establishments to rake up the customers (in the maid costume's case, a maid cafe).

Ah, that makes sense.
Well I think I've given you enough to go by in order to write your story.
