i need more wing headcanons,,, i loved them
I did a bunch of the guys before. Here’s some winged Overwatch ladies.
She has short dark brown wings with thick freckled feathers. More often than not, they’re a blur on her back while she’s hovering.
Speaking of hovering, she doesn’t like to walk much. If she can fly, she’ll do it. Most of the time when she’s standing in one place, she’s actually hovering a few feet off the ground. A lot of people ask if she ever gets tired. Those people obviously don’t know Tracer well.
Her wings have thrown people off more than once when she’s flying. They expect to see them flapping like everyone else but Tracer’s never done anything like everyone else. She finds that rotating her wings makes her fly easier.
Her feathers ruffle up when she gets upset. It’s very cute and only makes her more upset when people say it while she’s mad.
When she blinks in and out of time, her wings don’t always come back looking the same. There was one time when she blinked out and her wings didn’t come back looking right at all. Winston had to turn off the chronal accelerator completely to allow her to phase out again and get them back. She doesn’t like to talk about it.
She’s got hot pink wings with very thick plumage. Her wings themselves are massive and her wing span is huge. Getting hit with one of those bad boys is like getting punched in the…well, everything.
She dyes her wings after every molting season. Mei and D.Va usually help her get between her shoulder blades where she can’t reach. Most people see a big pink dot in the sky before she’s on them and it’s a very interesting sight to be your last.
Her wings flapping makes a very powerful burst of air. More than once, she’s set papers and objects flying because the gust is that strong.
Her wings, because of how thick the feathers are, take forever to dry. Sometimes after a rainstorm, you’ll find her looking miserable as she blow dries her feathers because she can’t stand the wet feeling on her back and water seeping into her clothes.
Though her wings are big, when she’s flying she’s very slow. All her muscle and wing span makes for a cruise through the sky instead of fast aerial performances. She doesn’t mind though. If she can’t reach you physically in battle, her particle cannon will close the distance just as easily.
Her long wings are black feathered and very sleek looking. When stretched out completely, they’re a lot longer than one would expect but they’re also very narrow. If she ever let someone touch them, they’d realize just how soft they are too.
Because of her lack of breathing, between her feathers, the skin of her wings is also purple. It gives a villainous purple sheen to the black feathers when her wings spread and you can see underneath.
She tends to play with her feathers when she has a moment alone. It’s a subconscious thing that she’s done since she was small even if she doesn’t recall those memories well. You’ll find her reading or watching television with her wings around her and a hand in her own feathers.
She doesn’t use her wings very often. In her line of work, they’re a major target and having one of them hit mid-flight could mean plummeting. Most people don’t really see her wings in general because she doesn’t trust those around her enough not to hurt her.
When she was younger and used her wings like a second pair of legs, she used to be able to spot a steady current as easily as breathing. Her wings were made for gliding and soaring not flapping. She would cruise along the breeze and not have to flap for long minutes just enjoying the sunshine and the feeling of weightlessness. Sometimes even now, she’ll pick up on a nice current but she doesn’t fly anymore. Spiders weren’t meant to fly.
