Context: in my post-construct world, Cheated and Broken were the two voices who could not fly upon gaining their own bodies, and they got to bond about that. And in Broken's case, it was because his wings were chained, and he was unwilling to try to unbind them:

Current sketch for my lad Broken, this will likely be his base pose for the eventual reference, but who knows when that will happen /lh

I had this idea in mind that maybe over time, Broken will be more open to the idea of trying to unbind himself from these chains! And when he finally does, Paranoid (the resident medic) concludes that with proper exercise and training, eventually, Broken should be able to fly like the rest of the flock. And so as Broken heals, Cheated is slowly becoming the only bird in the flock who cannot fly... and while Broken can't just magically fix Cheated's wings, he can, at least, take him for a flight or two <3

If you couldn't tell, Everest likes lots of fluff in their ships /silly

Also for completeness sake, here's also Cheated's current design sketch:
