If a motif is a recurring element with symbolic significance, then obviously a feather motif is any time feathers appear recurringly in a story. They can be tied to a specific character or they may span an entire work as a whole. Feathers have certain connotations depending on their use and color. White or glowing feathers often represent the divine because of their connection to angels. Black feathers usually represent death or even evil, not only because they are the "opposite" of white but also since they are associated with Creepy Crows, which are scavengers that feed on the dead. Peacock feathers can represent vanity or, more rarely, flamboyance. Feathers of any color may represent flight or freedom due to their association with birds. Like anything symbolic, this can also be a case of Faux Symbolism or merely there because someone thought it looked really cool. When the motif is associated with a character, that character may have wings or feathers (both real or represented) on their clothing or accessories. In Anime and Video Games, it is not uncommon for a character with a Feather Motif to have powers that are accompanied by feathers, or using feathers as weapons, or even have fully feathered wings, although it should be noted that feathered wings alone do not make a Feather Motif. Characters with a Feather Motif may display Perpetual Molt. Compare Cherry Blossoms, Petal Power, Symbolic Wings, Fluffy Fashion Feathers, Good Wings, Evil Wings. |

Lyrical Nanoha: Despite her fan reputation as a devil, Nanoha is often portrayed with pink glowing feathers, an attribute to her All-Loving Hero nature. They always appear in her Transformation Sequences and whenever she flies. The feather motif is one of her most defining attributes, similar to Fate's lightning motif. | |

Naruto: Konan, who is an angel with paper feathers. This is significant in that Konan was one of the only Akatsuki to join for entirely non-selfish or anarchistic purposes - in a way, one of the few 'good guy' Akatsuki. Her motivations were primarily to protect Nagato and to rid the world of the pain she knew from her childhood. | |

Inuyasha: Kagura is represented by a white feather. She is a wind-youkai and her power of flight manifests through her feathered hairpins. The feather becomes her symbol of her desire to be as free as the wind. When she dies, her soul finally finding the freedom to become one with the wind is symbolised by a feather floating away from her dissolved body and soaring off into the sky on the wind. | |

In Kung Fu Panda 2, the villain Lord Shen is an albino peacock. Peacock feathers symbolizing vain/glory is especially appropriate here. However, the white feathers in this case do not hint at the divine, but rather the Eastern symbolism for madness and death. | |

Yukiko and to a greater extent her shadow from Persona 4 have heavy wing symbolism, with her Shadow being a bird with her face and her Persona's wing-like shawl-chain-thing. Shadow Yukiko desires freedom from her oppressive, pre-determined life and Yukiko is one of the most fragile team members in the game. | |

Noelle from Black Clover. Her white blazer ends in frills resembling feathers, like the clothing worn by her siblings in the Silver Eagles, and on the cover of Volume 19 she's surrounded by feathers and a wing. She gradually frees herself from her family's abuse in the past and gains more confidence. When she obtains her Valkyrie Armor, which features featherlike ear ornaments, Noelle states that she feels like she's been freed from her cage. | |

In Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-, the whole series is largely about the search for Sakura's memories which take the form of white feathers.In addition, the very last chapter reveals that Sakura and Syaoran's true names are both Tsubasa, the Japanese word for wings. It's a symbol of both their connection to each other (since wings always come in pairs) and the vast journey that they've undertaken. | |

At least two or three characters from BlazBlue use a Feather Motif in an unusual way. For the N.O.L's elite Zero Squadron-member Tsubaki Yayoi, a Perpetual Molt accompanies many of her powers (and is directly invoked for her Astral Finish). Tellingly, her Feather Motif turns black by the end of Continuum Shift. For Nu and Lambda, the fact that their "feathers" are eight swords floating behind their backs should tell the player most of what they need to know about the mecha-angels. | |

White feathers and even wings are prevalent in both the Manga and Anime versions of Full Moon, mostly in regards to the main character Mitsuki. It empathizes her sweet, kind nature and can be seen as foreshadowing her Screw Destiny act in the end, when she defies her fate of dying within a year. | |

Tales of Symphonia: Angels are associated with glowing white feathers. These feathers appear in their casting animations, as opposed to the series' standard Instant Runes. Notably, this motif is more prominent for higher-ranking angels, who have wings of Hard Light instead of bird-like ones, that normal angels have. | |

Balder from Bayonetta wears a dead white peacock stole over his shoulder, with the tail feathers prominently displayed. When he goes One-Winged Angel for his Boss Battle, the peacock itself disappears but the feathers become a part of Balder himself, acting as enormous wings, along with other assorted feathers attached to the rest of his outfit. Also, at one point during the fight, he pulls out a feather to comb back his hair. | |

Final Fantasy XIII-2: Lightning's armor has a half-skirt made of feathers and feathers appear when she summons her gunblade. This replaces her flower petal motif from the first game.

Both Miu and Shou Kanou from Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple. Miu's movements and fighting style often get compared to bird's movements, and her name (美羽) means "beautiful wings" or "beautiful feathers". Kanou particularly recognizes this in Miu and for that reason falls in love with her. He himself loves birds, has a spread wings motif on the back of his leather jacket, and wears a birdcage-shaped earring. Both of them are sometimes drawn accompanied by symbolic ethereal feathers. | |

The Final Fantasy series is somewhat fond of this trope. Final Fantasy VII: Sephiroth is given a black feather motif in his appearances in Kingdom Hearts. This was carried over to Dissidia Final Fantasy and even the compilation itself. Angeal and Genesis from Crisis Core also have feather motifs. Final Fantasy VIII: Rinoa has a feather motif to a degree - her Infinity Plus One Blaster Edge is made up of feathered wings and her Limit Break Angel Wing begins with her growing glowing angel wings which shed glowing feathers. She also turns a flower petal into a feather in the opening sequence. This theme was carried over into Dissidia Final Fantasy, with Squall's feather MacGuffin and with Ultimecia's black feather motif taken up a notch. It was also carried over to the Fan Film Dead Fantasy, where Rinoa is given permanent angel wings and a gunblade shaped like and decorated with a feather. Wings seem to be a symbol associated with sorceresses in general. Edea has a black feather motif, Ultimecia has black wings, and Adel has a strange winglike structure on her back. Angelic white wings seem to be specific to Rinoa, however. Final Fantasy X: Yuna's wedding dress have feathers. The symbolism is the connection to the divine, since Yuna is very much a Messianic Archetype. The second is a symbol of freedom and flight. This is especially appropriate since immediately after the ceremony she repudiates the marriage, tells the party she can fly, jumps off the roof, and flies away on Valefor. The 'Life' spells all feature feathers in their animation. Final Fantasy XIII-2: Lightning's armor has a half-skirt made of feathers and feathers appear when she summons her gunblade. This replaces her flower petal motif from the first game. Word of God has confirmed that this indicates a connection to the divine. Caius' revive animation (the result of his permanent Auto-Revive status) also features white feathers (note: he also wears purple feathers in his hair), like Lightning, this is indicative of a link to the divine (specifically, Etro). |

The symbol of The Fairest Seeming from Changeling: The Lost is a peacock feather. Note that in this case, the feather represents neither freedom nor divinity. It represents beauty and vainglory. | |

Sailor Moon has this frequently in the anime. First off, her transformation sequence in Sailor Moon R, in which glowing feathers and wings were just part of the transformation sequence, then later in her Eternal Sailor Moon henshin, in which real wings and feathers are part of the sequence until the wings turn to fake wings. Her first and second attacks in that series involve what can only be described as hurricanes of feathers. In the manga, Eternal Sailor Moon bears real feathered wings, as does Sailor Cosmos, who also has the feather wing motif on parts of her costume and staff. | |

Very prevalent in X1999. Feathers are shown falling mostly during visions of the end of the world, especially in the manga and are largely associated with Kotori, the resident Purity Personified heroine which name means "Little Bird". | |

In the kung fu movie Flag of Iron, the members of the 14 Eagles Clan wear tall, plumed feathers in their hair as sign of allegiance to their clan. The leaders notably have feathers as tall as their heads. | |

Final Fantasy VIII: Rinoa has a feather motif to a degree - her Infinity Plus One Blaster Edge is made up of feathered wings and her Limit Break Angel Wing begins with her growing glowing angel wings which shed glowing feathers. She also turns a flower petal into a feather in the opening sequence. This theme was carried over into Dissidia Final Fantasy, with Squall's feather MacGuffin and with Ultimecia's black feather motif taken up a notch. It was also carried over to the Fan Film Dead Fantasy, where Rinoa is given permanent angel wings and a gunblade shaped like and decorated with a feather. Wings seem to be a symbol associated with sorceresses in general. Edea has a black feather motif, Ultimecia has black wings, and Adel has a strange winglike structure on her back. Angelic white wings seem to be specific to Rinoa, however. |

In Aruosumente, Oracles wear cloaks with angel wings on the backs, representing their ability to hear God's voice in their dreams. | |

In Resident Evil Village, it's revealed that the umbrella insigna made up of four white triangles and four red triangles that serves as the emblem of the Umbrella Corporation is actually its namesake, as the company founder Oswell Spencer saw said insigna in a Romanian village, thought it looked like an umbrella, and named his company after it. However, the original symbol actually represents crows' feathers, with four of them symbolically pointing to the village's lords (Dimitrescu, Beneviento, Moreau, and Heisenberg). Mother Miranda, who rules over the four lords, frequently uses her infection with the Mold to manifest crows' wings, especially during the final boss battle. | |

Feathers are a recurring element in Eternal Fighter Zero: When a character uses a Level 3 Super or a Final Memory, white glowing feathers accompany the activation effect; a particular example is Ayu Tsukimiya, who fights with her winged backpack, and her Final Memory has her summoning feathers that zap her opponent; Or Misuzu Kamio, who can grow wings to block and air-dash, and for some attacks, and can store energy feathers that allow her to call Yukito; Or Kanna, who is a Winged Humanoid, and one of her Supers is a variant of Ayu's Final Memory. | |
