Isn't this girl from Astro Boy? Meh. Yeah I guess that's the Japanese name for it you used.
The lines are really messy. And the art looks odd. Look at those eyes. I know animation back then (I'm 18 so 1980 seems like forever ago) was really bad compared to now so either you traced the cheap low quality anime from the 1980s or just drew the eyes pretty poorly (I know you traced these but even if it's traced corrections can still be made).
Look at your sprite in comparison to those others. Their lines are neat and clean. I can understand if you want a thick outline, but it's still unclean and funny to look at.
Last, shes out of proportion. Anatomy is crucial with sprites like these. Her legs are way too long for her body. Fix those.
Once all of these mistakes are fixed you should be fine for now.
I suggest using her as an art reference too. Even though Roll's sprite is not even completed it's still a pretty decent sprite and still a great example!

Finally, she seems to be totally out of proportion compared to most fighting characters. Like, a lot. She is supposed to be a robot child, so her size must reflect that of one. I suggest using Marvel vs Capcom's Roll as size reference.
