Do you get like new abilites? What effects the kind of wings you get? And...Would it be repetitive to have a Wyld Elf PC become a Valkyrie?
What exactly comes with being a Valkyrie?

You get one ability innately and two more by doing special training sessions with Annika. Celestial Form is the one you immediately learn, a Recharge ability that acts as a party-wide damage shield that also grants some bonus Holy damage. Sunstrike is an At-Will that adds extra Holy damage to your regular attack and Aurora of Vigor is an Ultimate and works like Unbreakable except that you can pick who gets the effect, it lasts one turn less and when it expires it deals Holy damage to all enemies. The training for the latter is really fun as there are variant scenes if you have Lumian party members with you and (cool mechanics spoiler) if you have the Guldring equipped, you'll get a hint as to its special interaction with that Power.
During the soulbinding process you can freely choose between having ethereal golden wings that only appear when needed or physical white wings. The only other physical effect of the soulbind is that you have a minimum breast size (A), and you get locked into female pronouns. You can have whatever genital arrangement you like.
I'm not sure why it would be 'repetitive' to have a wyld elf become one, but it depends on what you're looking for in the transformation. For example, my main Champ has as her not terribly secret primary motivation the desire to live long enough to grow old with Ryn and watch their future children grow up, and the only way to get a comparable lifespan is soulbinding. Becoming a mortal agent of Lumia is sort of an added bonus.

Yes. As for wings, feathered are standard issue, at least if you don't have wings. There are some interactions that change as well, especially during the High Ground side quest and the aftermath of it, considering it deals with a Lumian artifact and there are Lumian NPCs involved.
1. Yes, you get new abilities. Lumia gives you one immediately upon transformation, and Annika can train the other two once you become a valkyrie (in addition to the other powers she can train).
2. If you don't already have corporeal wings, you can either get incorporeal ones (magical golden ones - see Annika's clothed art or Atheldred's art) or corporeal ones. Either way, they'll be feathery dove-type wings. If you do already have corporeal wings, your wings become feathery dove-type wings.
3. Even if you have a Wyld Elf with Dove Wing Wyld Mark, you still would be gaining the godsworn powers, you'd still get new valkyrie dialogue in Lumia-related content (there's a decent amount of it, and more all the time
), you'd still get the booba and fertility upgrades if so desired, and you'd still be preventing Kasyrra from using your soul for...whatever it is that Kasyrra wants to use your soul for. Not repetitive. There's quite a few players who go with Wyld Elf valkyries, including myself, when we play the game (although mine didn't take Dove Wings).
I got this weird mental complex about certain things involving my PC. Like making them too similar to other characters or having too many of a species in the party. Weird shit, you know? Since a lot of them be Boreal Elves.

Thank you for all that! Now I don't have to feel too weird about (one of) my (many) Wyld Elf PC(s). Such as "basically Crimvael but an elf instead of an angel."
I think it gives you a 5% regen buff for six turns upon casting the spell.
If it makes you feel better I am the exact same.
It gets even worse with me because not only do I not want my characters looking too much like other people in the game I don't want them looking like each other either.
So I have completely different appearances for my 3 charcters in COC, my 4 in TiTS and my 5 in COC 2. I think the only crossover any of them have is a demonic tongue and if there were more prehensile options even that would be different.
