By the way...
If there's any question as to the acceptability of your miniature, ask me.
As Gallagher says, "It's that easy."

ALTERNATIVELY, i'd like to have a vote here:
Rather than individualized miniatures, i'd highly approve of the small glass beads we normally use to track essence. If we opt for this, i'd require that the color of your bead reflect your elemental aspect as follows:

AIR: White
EARTH: Black
FIRE:Red
WATER:Blue
WOOD: Green

i favor this option, since these things are pretty uniform in size and shape, easily defined by color, and give an overall tidier effect.

Courtesy.
