Your background would then allow you to Power Stunt glide/limited Flight off of her existing powers. Other possible uses for wings: buffeting (*very* strong pectoral muscles), swimming (if of the right type... you could actually be a *marine* winged species, like the manta ray?), for some reason I'm seeing her using her wings to push her whole body off the ground in a dominant posture, but that's neither here nor there <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />. Being used to flying, your species could be very good pilots... Or, you could have one of those primordial tech items Jemal mentionned: jet pack anyone? Gravity repulsor belt (personnal 0-gee eveywhere you go)? Better if you're an official ambassador to the victorian nation then, as that justifies giving you the tech (and even better if you come from or from near that Primordial-built dyson.. or maybe just a panetary-sized primordial artifact exists in your home system and your people are mining it for artifacts, making the victorians wary of "civilizing" you just yet, hence the ambassadorship? (maybe the active ingredient of the belt was taken from something else entirely, if we don't want to suppose too much about said Primordials physiology, and built into the belt by your people?)). Going to be a lot of tight corridors and rooms in your immediate future, but still, you'll be *flying* through them... What do you think?</blockquote>
