Alright, so I come to you with a quest: Find me a miniature that is representative of the Bard seen in the 5th Edition Player's Handbook, yet with the character as a female (and yes, if you didn't know, that is originally a male character). I've done quite a bit of searching with no luck, seeing as a short-haired female elf is very difficult to find. It isn't all too important that the miniature has an instrument, but if at all possible I'd like her to have a sword or no weapon at all. If you come across a male character model that may be able to pass for a female (similar to the original artwork), that could work too. In addition, I would also take something with a hood that obscures the head, though seeing the face would be preferable, but if all else fails, it's fine.
You can also try http://www.miniaturemarket.com/ they too have ton's of miniatures.
Or if you want a custom one www.heroforge.com/ but be warned, they can be between $15 and $25 depending on how you want it made. Oh, and you'll have to paint them yourself.
There's Astrid, female elf chronicler

And Liriel Silverlocks, female elf Bard

And a bones figure, that's the same as Astrid, female elf chronicler, named Astrid, female bard.. it's cheaper since it's plastic.

Personally, I love bones figures... and if you're interested, there's going to be another bones kickstarter in 2 weeks.

Good job with Heroforge generator Slit518. I've made a few myself but have yet to pull the trigger on it. A friend did for the high quality ones and it looked nice, unfortunately his character died before he could get it painted and use it in the game 
pfft, I completely missed the part about looking for a female figure with short hair. I'll resume my search.
The first mini I thought of when I saw the picture is the mini my group always uses for the bard:

(That's a good site to buy minis.)
Here's a look at the front and back of that mini. It has both an instrument and a sword.
Wow, not a lot of options for what you're after... I'd go with heroforge or you'd need to probably customize your figure by filing hair down, or transposing body parts.
