I might suggest that Relievers up to 7 Forces or so (the "undecided", you
might say) are pixie-winged humanoids -- but as they approach their 8th and
9th Forces, it's time to make a choice, and they start manifesting feature
of their likely Choir. Indeed, it could be fair to say that it's
impossible to get this far without starting to lean one way or the other.
Vice versa, those who are highly Dissonant have shadowy echoes of their
opposite Band floating about (not the same for demons -- demonic
Dissonance isn't necessarily angelic, and the final act of Redemption is
indeed a sudden process for them).
For example, a Reliever who is likely to fledge Ofanite prefers flying, and
indeed prefers it so much that he's rarely stopping; by 7 or 8 Forces, he's
trailing little flakes of light or energy wherever he goes. The momentous
Fledging simply accelerates his motion to the point where he's a glowing
blur, out of which the Ofanite 'coalesces.' A Reliever heading towards
Seraph becomes taller and thinner, his wings expanding. His walk might
take on serpentine grace, and be less a step than a float
A hundred different descriptions are possible, naturally. Purely flavor.
The final Fledging might indeed be sudden, and even glorious.
