Seraph for singular. Seraphim for plural.
I drew this in a period of.. maybe an hour? Since I drew it in pencil at first, then went over it in pen. I'm quite proud of it to be honest :]
The picture at the bottom is what the full image looks like. If I had a scanner, I'd just scan it on here, but I only have my cell phone to take pictures of my drawing.

If it were colored, her hair would be a red with her eyes being 2 different colors, left being lighter than the right. Both hazel/light brown but the left being more of a green.
Her clothes, white and gold. Gems, different colors.

Here's a little bit about the Seraphim.
SERAPHIM:
- “Seraphim” are another class of angels mentioned only once in Scripture in Isaiah 6:2-7 and are described as having three pairs of wings and the highest rank in the Christian angelic hierarchy.

- "seraphim" attend God and have human attributes

- heavenly creatures standing nearest to the throne of God

- "The name seraphim clearly indicates their ceaseless and eternal revolution about Divine Principles, their heat and keenness, the exuberance of their intense, perpetual, tireless activity, and their elevative and energetic assimilation of those below, kindling them and firing them to their own heat, and wholly purifying them by a burning and all-consuming flame; and by the unhidden, unquenchable, changeless, radiant and enlightening power, dispelling and destroying the shadows of darkness"

- "The name 'Seraphim' does not come from charity only, but from the excess of charity, expressed by the word ardor or fire. Hence Dionysius (Coel. Hier. vii) expounds the name 'Seraphim' according to the properties of fire, containing an excess of heat. Now in fire we may consider three things.
"First, the movement which is upwards and continuous. This signifies that they are borne inflexibly towards God.
"Secondly, the active force which is 'heat,' which is not found in fire simply, but exists with a certain sharpness, as being of most penetrating action, and reaching even to the smallest things, and as it were, with superabundant fervor; whereby is signified the action of these angels, exercised powerfully upon those who are subject to them, rousing them to a like fervor, and cleansing them wholly by their heat.
"Thirdly we consider in fire the quality of clarity, or brightness; which signifies that these angels have in themselves an inextinguishable light, and that they also perfectly enlighten others."
