Whenever she's not in one of these colors/forms, she changes into something she finds pretty or interesting. She mostly changes her hair color and style, often wearing flower crowns.
Some of her other hair colors include blue-green, red-purple, rainbow, and she also enjoys turning her hair various shades of purple (like this, this or this).
She doesn't really have preferred clothes. How she dresses depends entirely on her mood or the occasion, but she does seem to wear either strapless dresses or baggy clothes more often than others. While she enjoys walking barefoot when she can, she puts on trainers when she goes somewhere alone and heels when she's around people.
Personality:
If someone knows her well they can easily say that she is 'all over the place'. The fact that she's been around for a half a millennia means that she has gained some experience in survival - various fighting techniques, reading people, situations and being able to manipulate them to some degree. But she has mostly lived her life in smaller areas and hasn't seen much of the world.
She is naturally a creative and curious person. She seeks beauty wherever she can and practically lives for the feeling of excitement and awe that she gets whenever she finds something beautiful. The source of beauty is usually nature and art (music, literature, paintings...), but she can see the value and beauty in people too.
As far as people go, she mostly finds the idea of life, creation and living beautiful, not someone's personality. She does appreciate appearances/attraction, though.
Her search for beauty and thrill often comes across as selfish, and in reality, it is. Beauty and fun are her main interests, and if something doesn't interest her, she can be selfish, lazy, uncooperative, rude or even aggressive. Everything in her life depends on whether or not she finds something interesting, boredom is her biggest enemy.
This can cause a dilemma sometimes; She doesn't always care about people and even likes to play games and manipulate them. Sometimes she just doesn't care about others and hurts or kills them without remorse and guilt. But the idea of a life, a living being and all it can experience seems beautiful to her, and she actually does feel sadness when it is lost or harmed. In short - she finds people beautiful and interesting, so she works to protect them - but once they stop being a source of amazement or entertainment, she will lose interest and won't really care what happens to them.
As a person, she hasn't had much development. While she has lived for a longer period of time and in several different places, she never really got to go out and explore it in a way that would actually affect her. Let's say she lived in London a few centuries back - she went to many events and dances, enjoying the life in the high society to the fullest. But all she ever really did was visit expensive, grand places and popular spots (like the countryside homes and famous tours around mountains, lakes or other landscapes - both meant for the rich). She tried to experience a culture to the fullest in all its beauty, but that's all she did. Stood still and gaped at beautiful things, never moving forwards or backwards.
She would like to change that now, though. Living like that has given her experience, but she could hardly be called a mature adult, not with the way she thinks and sees things. Her upcoming birthday has made her want to get out of her comfort zone and try new things, experience the world and be something else than what she has been for the past 500 years.
Backstory:
She was born on May 23rd, 1517. Her mother gave birth to her at a friend's house and ran away a few hours after delivering her. Her father had died a few weeks prior, and if she did have any other family, she didn't know of them. Her mother's friend didn't wish to raise her so she sent her to a nearby monastery. She was adopted from there by a noble family because of her vibrant red hair. She was very well educated there, both in art and music as well as fighting - the family had three older sons, and she was the only 'daughter'. She played with them and convinced them to teach her how to fight in secret - something that eventually turned on them, since she started beating them in fights. She was never considered a real member of the family. She was mostly a decoration, a fun distraction.
She had known from her youth that she had powers, but she hid them from her 'family'. Once it became apparent that she would no longer age and would look young forever, she ran away from home and started travelling. She went wherever was interesting, and didn't leave until people started suspecting something.
She spent most of her life living like that, just enjoying towns and places one by one.
Shape shifting:
This power mostly includes changing her hair and eye color. She loves experimenting with the two. She can't change her skin color or separate parts of her body, though (like making herself taller, skinnier, with claws/ears/tail...).
A part of her shape shifting is her ability to transform into a dragon. This is something that needs a lot of energy and either strong emotions or mental focus to sustain it. In her dragon form she has red scales, a strong body and large wings. The size varies depending on how much energy was put into transforming - while smaller forms need less energy than bigger ones, it is still a very tiring task.
She doesn't like this power too much because of how draining it is. She also has some bad memories/accidents about this power, and she had never tried to learn how to properly control it, so she just has a basic idea of how it works.
Her size can very from the size of a small cat to a few meters.
Body and wings
Her head shape depends on what caused the transformation - powerful emotions or mental focus.
Mentally focused - frills, feather-like scales and a pair of horns
Strong emotions - multiple horns, spikes, tougher and pointier scales
Resilience:
The large amounts of energy that can be used for shape shifting into her dragon form are gathered in her body, giving her a much sturdier and adaptable body than a human's. She has a strong immune system and it is very hard to get bigger injuries, like broken bones. Her skin is very hard to damage, so she doesn't get scratches or cuts. She is not immune to magical weapons or attacks that cause more damage than her energy can heal.
She also has a noticeably better stamina, reflexes and senses. While her senses like hearing or vision are automatically heightened, she can moderate others, like strength or speed.
All of these abilities decrease and can go down to the level of a human as soon as she starts losing energy (like right after transformation). Over-using these abilities also leads to losing energy and consequentially to losing these abilities as well (an example would be wasting too much energy on strength, speed, or regeneration in battle. While she can over-do it with strength and speed, she has no control over the fact that her body tries to heal any lethal wound until it has no energy left to draw).
When her energy levels are high and optimal, her abilities are definitely super-human, but about average compared to the strength other beings may have.
-----She has another power that has been insignificant so far, so she will probably not use it at all. (WIP; she does have another power, but it won't be in included unless it actually makes sense and contributes to the plot. I don't think it's necessary to throw in more powers for now.)
Relationship Status/Crush:
Single and ready to mingle xD
Weapons:
She has collected a wide variety of weapons during her time of travelling. Her favorites are whips, bows and swords, but she often carries knives because they are smaller and less noticeable. If she has time to choose a weapon, she just thinks about which would be the most effective and has no preference over aesthetics.
Her fighting style usually involves movements that appear elegant and involve more defence and quick, strong attacks. Her fights are either over in a flash or they drag out - the latter usually end with her losing, because she keeps wasting more energy the longer she fights.
