Maybe a breeze for the hair ?
12 movement sprites where say every eighth step the character blinks.

XerObot:  Hmm... I'm not sure about the breeze thing.  I don't know if it's actually long enough for any hair bouncing to be noticeable.  I might try to see if I can or cannot actually do that later though.

And as for the idea of making her blink, I actually already did something rather interesting:  I've programmed this loop in the Acrec object that, every 5 to 10 seconds, places this "eyelid" entity just over the sprite to give the illusion that Acrec is blinking.  There's also a thing that makes it so that whenever the player starts walking, it randomizes which leg she puts forward first.

UPDATE:  Wait, when you're talking about hair, which bit of it are you talking about?  The one just above her face, or the one hanging out the back of her headscarf?
