Origin[]
Mary Babnik Brown (November 22, 1907 – April 14, 1991) was an American citizen who became known for having donated her hair to the United States military during World War II. Thirty-four inches long, her blonde hair had never been chemically treated or heated with curling irons, and therefore proved resilient enough to use as crosshairs in Norden bombsights for bomber aircraft, which have to withstand a wide range of temperatures and humidity.
Brown was never compensated for her donation; she was offered war savings stamps, but turned them down, believing what she had done was her patriotic duty.
Traumatized by the loss of her hair, she mourned for two months.
Effects[]
When touched, the hairs increase one's aim, and instills them with a feeling of patriotism, so that no matter what, they have no desire for compensation, no matter what it is for. However, the user will also feel great sorrow.
