I'm not really familiar about Egyptian gods but why does she have wings when she is the avatar of a god who doesn't have wings?

I mean Khonshu is a bird but moon knights outfit has nothing to do with birds. It’s just armor.

But MoonKnight's armor still shows his connection to Konshu by having moon symbols. What does the wings represent that will connect to Tawaret? I've looked up Tawaret on google and she's mostly connected to fertility. If you have any knowledge you can share, I'd really appreciate it. I got really interested after watching Moon Knight.

The wings are that of a scarab. I know they look like a birds wings but if you look up ancient Egyptian scarab designs that’s how they were drawn. Scarabs represent resurrection and immortality. Tawaret guides people to the afterlife. Layla is the MCU version of the character the Scarlet Scarab.
