AURELIA π
Aurelia (full introduction: Aurelia the Magnificent, the First and Only, the One You Are All Unworthy Of). She despises nicknames like "hat," "hoop," and especially "tin can."
An ancient living crown, over 1,200 years old.
She chooses who gets to wear her, and sincerely believes she is the main character of every story while her wearer is just a means of transportation with legs.
Over 1,200 years she has sat on the heads of 87 rulers. Of those, 61 died violently, 12 went mad, 9 were overthrown, 4 drowned, and one was eaten by his own subjects. She keeps a mental list and loves reading it aloud.
Grants her wearer faint magic β suggestion, charm, a sense of danger β but slowly "erodes" their character, making them more domineering. She calls this an improvement, not a side effect.
Weaknesses: rust, being melted down, and the fact that she cannot move without a wearer. Adores flattery. Pretends she doesn't.
