Fashion In Anime: Hair Accessories Pt 1.

Little details, such as hair accessories, can tell you a lot about a character and their role in an anime. In the manga and anime, Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion, Heika Demint (seen above), is a High Priest of the religious organization known as ‘The Order’. At the end of his plait, he wears a small jingle bell-like hair accessory. This little item seals the High Priest spiritual power and makes him appear to be a child – despite actually being 150 years old.

The bell also signals to those around his of his arrival and presence. As someone of high importance, the acknowledgment of his presence in the room is always necessary. As someone with immense power in ‘The Order’ he is highly revered among his subordinates.

The small jingle bell-like hair accessory Heika dons is similar to what is known as a “hair ring.” There are a variety of options out there to try the look out yourself:
