Plumed Do-Hickey is a hair-altering item originally introduced by Tufeeti at Ebon Gate 2017's Henphelia's Love Shack. The item is some type of feather, such as pennae, semiplume, filoplumes, retrix, remiges, or simply feather. Unlocking certificates from Tier 0 to Tier 1 were in the Tier 3 treasure hopper of Ebon Gate games and Tier 1 to Tier 2 certificates were found in the Tier 4 treasure hopper. The messaging for the do-hickeys is quite complex. Each tier yields a new set of messaging available to a given weave style. For example, a T2 verb used on T4 style gives separate message from the same T2 verb on T2 weave style. The items may be left in the hair invisibly, even when not woven, for use with emotive messaging.
Analyze
As you contemplate some patinated copper goshawk semiplumes you realize that it is a small item and will never have much weight to it, therefore lightening it seems unnecessary. You also note that certain parts of the semiplumes translate into the color of beads, haircombs, and headbands. Currently, that is patinated copper. This semiplumes is tier 4 of 4 tiers. You are able to use the following verbs on it: Wear, remove, weave*, pull**, attend**, pinch*, tickle, nudge*, gaze, turn*, eat, push*, and shrug. Those verbs marked with * mean that they will create a hairstyle, and if it is marked with ** it will either remove the hairstyle or tell you what your current hairstyle looks like. Even though the noun may be a type of feather, all hairstyles have pre-arranged ways that they will be displayed and your noun may not ever show in the hairstyle. All feather types are allowed for the noun. Lastly, the semiplumes does not require you to be wearing a hairstyle for its verbs to work. It can be worn with other hair items and still manipulated, the same as the hair baubles. You get no sense of whether or not the semiplumes may be further lightened.
