A memento.
Found on the Rippling Walls.
Description[]
"A fashion accessory, covered in soot.
Holds great value...of the sentimental variety. Also holds hair firmly in place. Best hang onto it just in case."
Dialogue[]
To Rucks: "Is she here already? Where is everyone?"
- "I try to let The Kid down gently. This is the Bastion alright. 'Cept no one else showed up."
To Zulf: "You didn't happen to see a girl who wore this in her hair, did you?"
- " 'We all lost loved ones in the Calamity', he says. 'I don't know how I'm gonna go on without mine.' "
Plot[]
Belonged to a girl named Nacie that The Kid had a crush on.
She never appears in flashbacks, or arrives at the Bastion, but a petrified ash statue does appear in a cutscene after the Rippling Walls, presumably this is Nacie.
