Changing context affects everything including one's sense of self. Xei Skyeyes is a recreation of self, specifically myself when my own personality is taken to live within another context. For a moment Shaylynn D. Allen ceases to exist and "Xei" steps in, reacting in foreign manners that coincide slightly with Shaylynn's personality. Additionally this can be seen as clothes making a person- literally from another human.
The accessories include the following: leather belt, slide rule with case, leather book, watch, goggles, and scarf.
