📋 About This Mod
There's a very long-standing bug where if Shadowheart dyes her hair white, her portrait updates to the new hairstyle the next time she levels up, but the hair color remains black. This mod fixes that by changing Shadowheart's initial hair color to match her white hair color data. As such, it will change her first hairstyle to white if you install this before the change happens! It also won't have any effect if installed after Shadowheart's final level-up, unless you respec her.
Should be compatible with all hairstyle mods that don't edit the color, just the hair itself, such as Melpomene and Shadowheart's Haircut, as well as any mod that doesn't touch the following file: Public\Shared\Content\Assets\Characters\Character Editor Presets\Origin Presets\_Shadowheart, more specifically the HAIR_ORIGIN_Shadowheart entry (UUID: be9b0a2e-5c8c-cf8a-fe28-c4405f8237c7)
If you run into any conflicts, do let me know and I'll see if a patch can be made.
