This is how I would approach the retopo: Block out the bulk of the feathers using a few polygons like the central plane on the right. Then use alpha to give the plane the illusion of being made up of a lot of smaller polygons. The plane does not have to be vertically flat - leaving it at various angles can give more volume…

I just got custom soft body physics to work inside of Dota 2 Test using my Naginata. The feathers bob around and it's cool as shit and a TOTAL hack job.
