Android Princess's Coronation Wig

A meticulously styled ceremonial wig, designed to mimic human hair but clearly artificial when examined closely. Its regal golden curls shatter under the ritual’s strain, revealing a hollow crown beneath—a mechanical casing disguising the android monarch’s true synthetic form. The wig’s strands snag and separate during the chaos, exposing the brittle interface between facade and machine.
