There's a change in this girl (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esther

'girl' is the definition.

'there's a change' is the wordplay.
'a change' indicates an anagram.
'theres' anagrammed gives 'ESTHER'.

'in this' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for esther that I've seen before include "Old Testament book that tells of a beautiful Jewess" , "Oratorio by Handel; girl's name" , "There's a biblical girl" , "Old Testament book telling of a beautiful Jewess" , "OT heroine" .)
