#She hates staying anywhere else but Drezen or/and a secluded villa for too long because of this

[shiawasekai]

Although the reference for her post-recovery self is drawn without her wings, Nela still uses them often. She has them out always whenever she is in official business of some sort (as a reminder of who she actually is), be it as Governor or as Countess.

On her personal life, it really depends. She manifests them and hide them throughout the day according to what's more comfortable at any given time. I imagine hiding them for too long makes them sore, so she can't go an entire day with them hidden without regretting it later.

On the other hand, people in Drezen are used to see her around, so they don't react much, but she hates the attention the wings and the feathers bring to her anywhere else. Around Mendev especially, where her physical description is better known, they make her immediately recognizable in a crowd. Not like the odd looks anywhere else are much better.

She could use her magic to build an illusion or, you know, use transmutation to change her looks to something more human, but that just ends up triggering her issues. Hard. She learns VERY fast to avoid it unless there is No Other Option.

Instead, if Nela wants to go mostly unnoticed she avoids manifesting her wings and wears clothes that better cover the feathers. Even if it makes her wings cramp like hell later.
