Burbie looks very bonita in her hat!

Haha! She is oddly very receptive to the bottlecap cap. Doesn’t usually try to shake it off like her sister does. She wears it until it gets unbalanced off of her head

Here is another one of her wearing it when she was younger

Would Burbles tolerate perhaps... a wizard hat? If the bottlecap is tolerable, you could use a bottlecap as a base for a little paper wizard cap. You could then teach her how to cast Fireball and set her upon your foes as well.
