You Guys[sup]TM[/sup] are handling that. The parameters are ‘Largely cosmetic, with minor ‘mechanical’ benefits unless otherwise discussed’. Like Freyja will undoubtedly be using her horns as a weapon at some point, and having hooves is an all around perk. Odaya, on the other hand, just looks all feathery and crowlike. In my previous examples I mentioned things like clockwork limbs or wings to glide with, but not necessarily outright fly with. Greater physical manifestations may occur post time skip, but my original plan for them was a Persona 5 Style ‘This Is My True Self’. Animalism was just my go-to for those three for symbolic purposes, but it could be anything that otherwise would have been fantastic ‘racial features’ like Elfin features, or orcish, or being taller and purple, or whatever you think a fantastic portrayal of the character’s ‘true self’ would be.

The Fontaines have largely retreated from politicking and town affairs, but do still attend the town meetings and lend their advice and vote- they just don’t deal with the day to day nonsense. So they wouldn’t be the ones.

That leaves Hoar and Bilica to primarily squabble over it. The current climate favors the Hoars, so they’re most likely the ones handling its affairs.
