Make a wild guess as to who this is. Vala will be appearing (briefly) in the main storyline. She is the Headpriestess (no, really?) of the Marsh Chursh, Eastern Temple. She is wise and accepting, but a lot more stable than most other Headpriestesses. Notice that her ceremonial robes (all are custom-made) are composed mostly of straight lines and icy colors-- her water jiiaii's default form is a little ice sprite. She could also develop an earth jiiaii, but she's never really seen it as a priority so she wouldn't be able to just call it up in one try, and if she did, it would likely be very weak.
Admire her while you can, guys and gals, because I will not be drawing her in full regalia for a long time. My hand will fall off now. Until next time!
Time: way way way too long (about 8 hours altogether) Medium: sketch with Sharpie on paper, final in Photoshop.
