The shaping of the head kind of makes me feel like the face should be up one pixel higher.
There's no need for the shading on the bangs to be so busy. I think pixel clusters tend to look better when you use a lot of the same shade in a space, rather than trying to fit in some muddy looking clusters all stuffed together in a small space. They're kind of weirdly blending in with the white part of the hat, too, since yellow and white are both so bright. Maybe try making the gray shade a little darker?
The purple part kind of looks like a random clump, but after looking up the character, it's just supposed to be a bow, isn't it? Try to get the shape down. The frills are kind of coming up to a point, but I think it's just supposed to go around her head. So, it doesn't really look rounded right and it doesn't really look like it's under the hat. Try to get a good grasp of your references, and pay attention to how stuff should overlap. It's gotta make sense.
