Suddenly I have a vague idea of why it took so long for me to draw Jiia again.

Seriously, those braids are doom. I can draw Disney hair, swirly floaty hair that defies the laws of physics. Cornrows? Not so much. Hopefully they turned out okay anyway.

I made a couple of other changes - dropped her belt, for one, and the second line of the poem on her right arm is a little different. Also, I distinctly remember being totally unable to figure out what the pendant on her second necklace should be, and just scribbling something, so I changed it to that random sickle-crescent shape. And that is a very deliberately even-armed cross - anything that looks like extra length is actually the loop it's strung on. Just for clarity's sake.

She looks so much better in the lineart than the sketch, I cannot even tell you - however, as a consequence of that, and also the sheer amount of time I spent looking at her braids, I really can't say any more about the quality than that. I'm sure there are problems, but I just plain can't see 'em anymore. ^^
