However, I know a couple of good graphics people on the net that will do a character for about $50 or $75 and then will do all sorts of variants of it pretty cheap.

I would say offering $100 for something that she thinks was gratis is fair.

As a person that appreciates art and what it takes for an artist to get stuff done I would love to be able to say that you have to give her $500 ...

I'd love to be able to give her $500. She's absolutely fantastic. (She has a tendency to use phrases like "hold on a sec, now that you like the basic, I have to do the shading" which makes me go "erm...ok." The shading thing is an *issue* with her. She despises American cartoons due to the lack of shading and can go ON about anime, which she adores.) Then a few minutes later the perfect grahpic is popping at me through AIM.

However, many, many thanks, sarettah. I *can* give her a "fair market" surprise.
