I would like to request Seri's hairstyle and uniform with her saber equipped if possible.

Please try to find better reference images.

• high resolution
  • your images are relatively small. They're enough for casual use (i.e. for a human to look at them and appreciate the character) but modders need better references in order to create high-detail mods.
    
  • most of your images devote only 100px to the actual hair (which makes it very hard to discern details)
• high quality
  • your images use JPEG compression, which is lossy. Lossless PNG is preferred.
• color balance
  • the one high-res hair image exhibits too much green in the hair and skin (when compared to the reference sheet). It's also oddly cropped, which suggests an atypical capture method (photograph of a TV screen, maybe?).
• original material
  • you've found a mixture of official artwork and fanart. That's okay for an eclectic request (such as a videogame or film character) but this is a character from an anime OVA series. There's no need to get fancy, or to scour the internet for existing images.
    
  • grab a high-resolution copy of the actual anime series. Watch it. When Seri Awashita appears in profile, take a screenshot. Upload the screenshots at full resolution.
    • take a variety of shots. Something like this would be a poor reference for the hair (too zoomed-out), but it provides some detail for the costume and weapon. The unusual posture also provides clues for animators about the physics of the hair and costume.
• saber design
  • we have adequate reference material for the scabbard, and for the relative size of the saber
    
  • try to find a good side-view reference for the saber hilt
• saber fitting
  • it appears to be worn on a sword-belt; it would simply point downwards and clip through the floor when she kneels
    • this can be fixed with physics-rigging, but you haven't yet put enough work into this request to warrant the additional modding effort involved
  • suggestion: take a few SDT screenshots showing the girl in various poses and use MSPaint to sketch out the expected position of the saber
    • you can copy-paste the saber image on top of the girl (even though it's actually on her left hip) - we're dealing with orientation rather than layering.

I found some hilt side shots after re-watching some episodes and even tried to cut out an image of the saber and pasted on her in one of the images.

Let me know if the hair side shot in top image is enough to be a good reference for the hair.
I also found this shot while watching an episode if that top picture won't do.
