Many symbols here. Is it that she "marries" death? Tho she does not look dead just yet, she seems dieing. Perhaps it represents her inner struggle and her wounds are self-inflected (she blames herself for something). Her facial features show a very ego-centrical person whom suffered a lot in life and shielded herself with a wall of pseudo self-confidence. She looks just like the kind of person whom fallows her own way, going astray from many good paths. But also seems like a person whom could be changed through love. And like a person whom wants not only to be loved but also to love. Seems like the type that would have true friends. But also she does not seem to be able to trust humans easy. But when she does, she knows why. Looks like a heroine, I guess. As if in end, she changed into the kind, loving person she always wanted to be. As if she repented of her mistakes through her sacrifice (not just death, but the whole fight, struggle and will of defend her beloved that led to her death). Nice.
