Veil

A veil is a translucent or opaque cloth that is worn over the face. In Islamic Middle East countries, this is a common piece of clothing worn by women. Veils are also part of the wedding dress worn by women at weddings.

In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, the Psyche Mother wears a veil over her face to keep the Psyches from seeing her and thus identifying her as a member of Species 0002, the Smurfs, which they are programmed by the Psyche Master to despise. Empath during his time of being raised by the Psyche Mother never saw her face the entire time, and it wasn't until years later when Empath learned of her existence and found out that she left Psychelia so that she could die when she allowed only Empath to see her face.

In the Glovey Smurf story series, Aneeqa Smurf, the wife of Aasif, keeps her face hidden behind a veil whenever she appears in public.
