Description So; I really need you guys and your help, so please read through

So, I've had a new OC in the works for a while; no major character or nothing, but a new one, which means I can run amok as I please. She is VERY WIP, which is why the info on her is limited, and her design even more so.
She works for Lyburn Basil, Basils older brother, as his personal assistant and is a close friend of Edith, despite her young age,

So, new miss OC's design is a mystery and I would like your input; both with hair-style, body-types and more importantly:

Disability.
It's been my plan to mess her up somehow, and I'm torn between making her an amputee, based on some photos of a young girl around the early 20th century, or blind, because of SO many 'three blind mice' puns I can throw in...

I REALLY have a hard time choosing as both would be very interesting. Amputee would be ace and I could get around to design some really cool artificial legs, BUT making her blind would be all the more obvious to the world, thus making her disability all the more visible...

Meaning I'll probably go with making her blind... Anyhoo, I'm sort of torn here, so suggestions would help.

Oh, and suggestions for her body-type would be super-awesome too!

You want to make her an amputee AND blind.
And you accuse me of being cruel to my characters? LOL

Ok let's see.......

It's between the 2 bottom hair styles on the lower left,
body type type it's between 4 and 6,
face type 1 and 4,
And I think you would have more fun with the amputee leg thing.Β 

And thats it. Can't wait to see the results ^^*

I prefer the upper right hairstyle because it's kinda like the flapper "bob." Β If this is past the twenties, it was very rare to find a woman with long hair. Β I like body-type three (because it's not too curvy or skinny), and having her being blind sounds the best.

Well actually the hair depends on where the story takes place. Β I like most of them actually

Do both! Tailless and blind.Β 
"Chopped off their tails with a carving knife." Β The "farmer" is a serial killer whose trademark is to blind and remove the tails from victims by the means of a machine known as the "wife".

I had already considered tailless, but that would be if I went for the blind-option... somehow, legless, blind AND tailless seems a bit over-the-top

1st hairstyle, second row. Β #4 body-type (or why not have her be a bit heavy?). Β Blind. Β #2. Β

Thanks for the suggestion ^^ I already have a larger character, and a tall one, so I think I'll be happy with a shorter, maybe petite character.

8th hairstyle, 1st bodytype, amputee, sharp cheeks!

I might not go for the sharp cheeks, as Edith already carry those.
The 1st bodytype is a lot of fun and none of my characters have that one yet (apart from Ginny, but she's supposed to be voluptuous EVERYWHERE )Β 
I might go for the 8th or 2nd hairstyle, with the 1st being her hair untamed
