This is pretty good stuff right here.

random stupid question: does the feathers actually represent anything or do they just look cool?

Whatever it is, very cool looking.

Hey, kids! It's time for bullshit psychoanalysis! See, she's ass-deep in the water, and the feathers are floating down; meaning that they most likely signify that she's staring up at some birds flying in the sky. Flight is a metaphor for supernatural abilities (or lack thereof); as such, she can also be described as a caged bird - limited not by bars, but by her being in the only one out of her close group of friends who is a Level 0.

...nahh to be honest, I have no fucking clue but I like it.
