[Not a lawyer], but did you keep any of the exchange between the two of you in writing (e-mail, text message, etc.)? Saying she had more right because she was better at art could be taken an admission she was not the original creator - but at this point you'd be best consulting a legal professional. It might also depend how and where things were posted - there might be an argument of public domain, but in that case you both have as much of a right to use them as each other. Again, seek qualified legal advice - it might be that it's not worth pursuing.

Either way, keep writing. Keep creating characters. It might look now like it's the most important thing you've ever made, but it's worth thinking of it instead as just the most important thing you've made so far...
