Veola hair accessory

Veola hair accessories are highly customizable hairworn accessories that were created by GM Reidyn and introduced at Ebon Gate 2012 in A Head Above. They come in three categories (hats, barrettes, and headbands) with the ability to alter three sides (plain, with a gem, or with a feather) as well as three custom hairstyles, including the default. Unlocked versions also offer additional zests, while fully unlocked offer demeanor based NOD and SHAKE.

HAT	BARRETTE	HEADBAND
Cap	Haircomb	Diadem
Tricorn	Fascinator	Circlet
Tricorne	Cockade	Tiara
Capotain	Ornament	Crown
	Headpiece	Garland
	Ribbon

Analyze

You analyze your sorrel leather hat and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:

This item is designed to display a gem or feather.  The hat has three distinct descriptions, one when empty, a second when a gem is inserted, and a third when a feather is inserted.  To insert an item, hold the hat in one hand, the item you'd like to insert in the opposite hand and PUSH hat.  PULLing the hat will remove the hairpiece and restore the hat to its empty description.  It has never been unlocked, but could be by a qualified merchant.

When worn, it will temporarily alter your hairstyle and supports up to three custom hairstyles in addition to the default setting.

To change between the available hairstyles, hold the item in your hands and TURN it.

When altering these items there is some important information to keep in mind.  First, this item belongs to the HAT group and may only be altered in one of the following nouns: Hat, Cap, Tricorn, Tricorne, and Capotain.  And while each side is highly customizable, both the noun and material do need to remain the same for all three sides.

You can tell that the hat is as light as it can get.

Additional Alteration Guidance

Posted by GM Elysani

Veola items are fancy fancy hats that can hold three different descriptions:
1. A long description. (Example: A vibrant chartreuse silk hat dotted in pale white)
2. A description with a gem added. (Example: A vibrant chartreuse silk hat with a <gem> brooch)
3. A description with a feather added. (Example: A vibrant chartreuse silk hat stuck with several <feather>s)

The base of the hat should stay the same (a silk hat, a blue silk hat, a black silk hat, etc).

Veolas are also able to style your hair with three custom settings. Please keep in mind that the hairstyle must include the Veola in the description. (Example: She has long, wavy brown hair pinned back with a vibrant chartreuse silk hat dotted in pale white)

Veolas can also be unlocked with additional zests.
