📋 About This Mod
I have fallen a long way. Clouds are flowering
Blue and mystical over the face of the stars.
Inside the church, the saints will be all blue,
Floating on their delicate feet over cold pews,
Their hands and faces stiff with holiness.
The moon sees nothing of this. She is bald and wild.
And the message of the yew tree is blackness –
blackness and silence.
— Sylvia Plath
This is a part of a mini-series that consists of my own personalised edits to companions or related NPCS.

What does this mod do
A big part of this mod was inspired by this fanart by spicyraeman and many thanks to him for giving me permission to create this mod!1. Melpomene — Hair
Gives Shadowhear's Act III a wild hairstyle with (glowing) flower orchids and sideburns.
There is physics in the lower portion of the hair and it is refit according to similiar shaped hairs.
There is a version with Sharran accessories, both Main versions can co-exist as they change two different hairs.
2. Melpomene — Head
Gives Shadowheart Tiefling teeth that I found the closest to be of canines. Contains all LODs.
3. Melpomene — Body Textures
Body Hair: Gives Shadowheart mild body hair similar to the fanart above.
Freckles: Gives Shadowheart mild freckles all over her body.
Trips' Old Shader Pack / Companions - Old Shaders are a requirement for these textures to show.
4. Melpomene — Hallowleaf
Gives Shadowheart's parents new clothes instead of their torn prisoner attire, changes Emmeline's hairstyle as well.
Thanks to magnetuning the Hallowleaves will appear in their imprisoned clothes during the Chamber of Loss cutscene.
