Changli's feathers can be used as trackers, and the holders don't burn (Companion quest Spoilers)

This little nugget has insane story implications for Changli, and I haven't seen it come up in this sub -

That last line in particular, does it mean -

• Changli's life is in the hands of anyone with the feather?
• Is she actually hoping the enemy has it so she can track them?
• Is she worried that if the enemy has them, she can't harm them?
• Is the reason Rover is able to touch Changli without burning not because of his own God powers, but because of Changli's own feather suppression?
• Is this connected to the way she fights? Can she flare out feathers to "allies" to prevent them from burning in the indiscriminate inferno she lets loose? (see speculation below, in regards to Companion quest)

This also changes how we've viewed her kit in cinematics, think back to the conditions to clear the Weiqi Sonoro sphere - her flame resonance has to collide with the resonance within the sonoro sphere, without taking any life - Master Xuanmiao's ultimate test of Forte for Changli. Near the end, she gives Rover a feather before she lets loose (Gifs may take a bit to load)

Remember how Changli's feathers flare out before the inferno begins, at the last scene in the Sonoro sphere? We know the only living people are Changli, Rover and Fractsidus goons - Is Changli 'marking' them all for safety with the initial spray of feathers?

We see the feathers flying towards the lightbringers and frozen fractsidus goons, but doesn't seem to be doing anything, just foreshadowing the incoming blast - from which the Fractsidus thaw from the time freeze, but they don't die.

Remember also near the beginning of that cutscene, Changli puts her hand right beside Rover to burn the Time freeze off - if our speculation holds, she can do that because there's no danger to Rover's body (Rover has the feather)

I have doubts here, because I'm not too sure of Changli creating thousands of such precious feathers, but the context here was that they'd all be within the Sonoro Sphere, so maybe it's safe? She uses other sorts of feathers in combat we see in Resonator showcase:

From Resonator showcase - note the more orange feathers

Compared to:

The feather hues in the sonoro sphere seem more similar to the one Changli gave Rover, whereas in combat, they seem more orange (like symbolic feathers, whereas the above looks to have more corporeal form)

Anyway, thought this was a cool detail.

PS: I've seen a few folks skeptical about how Changli seems to know all about Rover. She does because she's Changli, and perhaps Rover wanted to be known...

People forget that Rover was a Weiqi master himself (probably after having played the Weiqi game only once, the way the story's going)
