Nothing better than a sweet and kind mustelid gal to brighten the day! :P
This is an idea for a new character: she's a single mother who somehow lost her tribe and family, and she has to provide alone for her daughter. They survive by hunting with traps, fishing and foraging in the woods, but bringing enough food home is not always easy.
She is also a healer and knows how to perform some magic rituals as well, so she can offer these services to those in need in exchange for some additional food or tools. She lives in the same setting as Cave Lion Guy, so we'll see what the future holds for them! :P

Ooh, she's a shaman, witch, or sorceress as well? Cool! What is the nature of her magical powers, I wonder? Something tells me that they can give her an edge, but alone won't allow her to survive easily. With some more focus on her magic, she might be able to become a wise woman for a band of open-minded people.
Love to see some more mustelid representation! If you don't mind, some quick tips to make her more recognizable as a marten: mustelid skulls are like the opposite of canine skulls, having long craniums and short muzzles; their ears are more like flaps of skin and don't have as strongly a 3-dimensional shape as feline or canine ears; and they're all plantigrade or semi-digitigrade by default, though I recognize there's a stylistic choice there :)
But I did notice you gave her five toes! That's something most artists overlook, so kudos. Hope to see more of this lass in the future!

I've never drawn mustelid before, so it's a real struggle! I make their faces too canine-like XD
I've checked several pics of martens and apparently they have a slightly digitigrade stance with their back paws, so I went for that look (which I prefer, I must say).
Thank you so much for the feedback! ^^
