1 - The concept is cool but to clarify Ixi is a humanoid with wings in place of arms and her taloned feet double as as hands?
Correct. Apologies for the lack of specification. She's basically like a harpy in terms of anatomy.

2 - The talons are more Natural than small weapons and this is usually a Trait according to the rules but taken with the lack of hands etc I will allow it (just FYI) So Ixi is skilled in natural weapons only at this point.
Thank you. I was looking to sacrifice a skill in light/heavy/ranged weapons for natural weapons. This is perfect.

3 - The way I picture the wings working is essentially Ixi's "Finger" bones are in the wings and extremely long. However as they are inside the wing she has extremely limited dexterity with their use though she should be able to hold large items that are not too heavy. Heavy object would have to be held in the crook of her arm/wing elbow.
Yep, that's how I pictured it, too.

4 Just to compensate a bit for the wings and talons I reduced Ixi's max health form 6 to 5. As a flyer her bones are strong but light and her muscles are lean and strong but all of this makes her slightly less robust when compared to humans.
Oh right, I did forget that avians started with five HP, my mistake! Thank you for fixing that.

5 - Gear and Anatomy : These are just ideas on how I imagine it not really important but gives you an idea of how I view your unique character.
+ With you primary manipulation digits also acting as your feet I imagine that the Avian people would naturally be inclined to use their mouths for light and simple tasks.
+ How about a lantern instead of a torch? It is shapes like a torch, with a lantern atop a rod that your wings can handle.
+ Avians can sleep laying down but are also able to sleep simply crouching down and wrapping their long wings around their legs and shoulders. This keeps the feathers clean and eliminates the need for a heavy bedroll which can be replaced with a warm poncho that is used for sleeping while crouched.
Perfect! Sounds like we have the same idea in our head about her. Thanks for working with me on this unique idea.
