As usual, your character design is great. For the run cycle, there should be some up and down motion on her head and torso to suggest weight. (Consult Animator's Survival Kit for a thorough discussion.)

actually, the hair is a good guide to the up/down that's missing - the head should go down when it flaps open and up when it closes...
I think there's something not quite right with the perspective of the legs though - they are quite straight which makes it look like she has no torso and the knees don't look like they're bending... i think they also look like they are moving outwards away from the pelvis and away from eachother at the far pose which doesn't feel natural to me.

I have seen similar type of animation on anime, like Naruto.
But I agree that some up and downs would add to it, also agree about the leg, but I like the character.

Nice character, thanks for posting. Will you improve and repost? Love to see her with a background!

Having looked at this again - I think it might also make sense to counter-tilt the shoulders with the legs... don't be disheartened it's just hard to notice all these things until later in the process
