Unicorns? But they have wings like a Pegasus? Right, there was a word for that, Alicorn.

Adjusts glasses

ACKTUALLY, that's an alicorn.

"Alicorn" is the horn of a unicorn. In terms of it referring to a winged unicorn, it did not become widely associated with winged unicorns until 1984 when Piers Anthony popularized it as a portmanteau of the Latin word "ala" (meaning "wing") and obviously "unicorn." Speaking on the matter, Anthony said, “I saw fantasy statuettes in an ad, and one was of a winged unicorn, titled an alicorn, so I figured that was the name and used it. I have not been able to verify it elsewhere.” In fact, "alicorn" originally referred to a horned horse, and eventually gave way to "unicorn," while alicorn came to refer specifically to the horn.

The horn on the girl's head makes me worried that the "special relationship" she's talking about is not particularly wholesome.

Ahh, so that’s the reason for the chaste maiden! It all makes sense now.

Don't be too impressed; I probably won't be able to do it again.

It looks like a part of her hood. Maybe some kind of crown?
