Not every WingedHumanoid is born that way. Sometimes, they have to go through {{Metamorphosis}} first. This can occur in any number of ways:
* The character [[JustWokeUpThatWay wakes up one morning]] to discover tiny wings on their back, which [[SlowTransformation grow over time]] until they are functional. The more realistic the story is, the more slow and painful the change will be. If the keeled sternum and large flight muscles also develop, it can be a mild case of BodyHorror.
* The wings appear suddenly, often as a result of a magical spell.
* The initial sprouts can be ridges, feathery tufts, or tiny, articulated wings.
