Get it maybe having a richer dark purple/black as well? Or perhaps having it sort of mimic the feather pattern of a darker colored barn owl- sooty owls are an example and can look a little starry sky, and are in the barn owl family of things. Can even have the fun of pushing the mask far more barn-owl shaped as well. I know the indecisive feeling and I can just sink in to neat little details.

For dramatics sakes? Possibly, just normal nice boots but have owl-like talon armor overlaying on them for protection and what not.
