I've made this little animation according to this story (translated from French) :

Valentine Sâhib is Indian by her blood. She was born on February 8, 1805 in the principality from Mysore. Her mother and her three sisters were murdered during an insurection by British officers. According to her memories, her father was one of the rare  survivors. Kidnapped by the British army, she was sold at a house of joy of Southampton where she nourishes her feelings of revenge. For a few years, she has regularly received mysterious gifts coming from an unknown captain. Ingres Paintings, Gramophone and an amazing mobile lamp using static electricity. She secretly thinks that all these gifts could come from her father who would be Nemo.

Original text :
Valentine Sâhib est de sang indien. Elle est née le 8 février 1805 dans la principauté du Mysore. Sa mère et ses trois soeurs furent massacrées lors d'une insurection par des officers britannique. D'après ses souvenirs, son père fut un des rares survivants à ce meutre. Kidnappée par l'armée britannique, elle fut vendue à une maison de joie de Southampton où elle nourrit ses sentiments de vengeance. Depuis quelques années, elle reçoit régulièrement des cadeaux étranges venant d'un capitaine inconnu. Tableau d'Ingres, Gramophone et une lampe mobile à éléctricité statique pour le moins surprenantes. Elle songe que tous ces cadeaux pourraient venir de son père qui serait le capitaine Némo de la légende.

It's a 165x185 animated gif with 8 frames using a constant palette of 30 unique colors.

Update [2006/06/26] : I tried some corrections :

• Added light effect
• Make Valentine breaths
• Turn her head to the left (not that easy believe me !)

Well I add some fun to build up this animation ... it's still not perfect but I'm enjoying it. Thank you for all your C&C.
