I loved this story!
The only thing I'm wishy-washy on is the idea of the pointe shoes as the footwear. It really isn't that pretty in reality up close. And there are some really awesome-looking demi-pointe ballet slippers that if she holds her feet like she WAS on pointe would negate the need (and the resulting discomfort.) I know she's invulnerable but I know from experience just how awkward and painful (as well as uncomfortable) they are if her feet had changed between the time she first wore them as compared to today.
Here's some suggestions for slipper/pointe shoe alternatives...
"Pro Elastica" Cobra Split Sole So Danca Just some suggestions. The first costume IS meant to be a work in progress after all.
The roll from pointe to demi to flat is actually a little more visible with ballet slippers than it is with pointe shoes (from my own experience.)
