Another quick question folks. As I'm sure those of you who've seen the pictures have figured out by now (if you hadn't figured it out before then via the other threads), the character I'm making is visually inspired by medieval plague doctors and victorian fashion. Now I'm definitely keeping the wide-brim hat, because that's just an awesome part of the look. But I'm debating what I should do with the mask. Obviously if I have a mask-like implement, it won't cover the entire face, and the beak part wouldn't be NEARLY so large and obtrusive. Was even thinking of dumbing it down to just goggles with a large nose piece, or making it a small upper-face mask attached to the hat itself. But still, I worry about how she'd be perceived wearing a mask that loosely resembles a bird, when her name and actual inspiration have nothing to do with them (and also considering that Nevemores are a thing, and I do not want to give the impression that this chick is trying to emulate Grimm).

Not sure what to do, really.
