CoveyClanners are typically tall, lean cats with soft and feathery fur. Their coats have downy feathers mixed in, giving it a soft texture and assisting them in flight! CoveyClanners have small wings for short burst of flight, as well as feathery tufts around their ankles. Their bones have a unique honeycomb structure to stay light enough to fly without sacrificing strength. Under their feathers is a thin membrane similar to that of a dragon's wings to assist them in flight even during molting season. Their fur and eye colors are very diverse, ranging from bright unnatural hues to neutral, warm tones. They can be based on any birds you can think of, apart from dinosaurs. CoveyClanners may have different wing shapes depending on the birds they are based around, and be better or worse at certain facets of flight as a result. A cat with elliptical wings would be more suitable to short bursts of flight as opposed to a cat with soaring wings, who would excel with gliding over wind currents. Some CoveyClan cats have bird-like legs that begin at their elbows. These talons have the same sharpness as a CavernClanner's gemstone claws. Their hind legs will typically have toes which allow them to hold prey while in flight.

CoveyClanners can fly for several hours before needing to rest. The fastest a Guardian can fly naturally is 50mph, or about .80 miles per minute! CoveyClanners can reach a dizzying altitude of 13,000 feet, though most do not bother, as there is a high risk of altitude sickness.

CoveyClanners also possess aerokinesis- the ability to move, control, and manipulate wind! This skill can be used to help move wildfires away from camp, throw predators off of their trail, or boost a Guardian or Leader's speed in flight- though this is incredibly dangerous. 

CoveyClan Leaders have much larger wings than everybody else in the Clan, allowing for much longer flights and greater speeds- similar to accipitridae such as hawks. A CoveyClan leader can fly over 100mph in small bursts! Their tailfeathers are also much longer. Their front legs fade into sharp talons instead of paws, allowing them a much stronger grasp. These talons are far sharper than the average CoveyClanner's and can slice through meat with ease. Their aerokinetic abilities are also much stronger than the average guardian's. CoveyClan Leader marks are usually on their forehead or chest.
