Powers

Alien Physiology: As is obvious based on her appearance, she is much different than most humanoid beings. At her core, she is able to a certain degree alter her body in a variety of different ways based on the situation. These changes in her body are limited in that she cannot completely change what she is and become something else. Instead she can simply control how what she is functions, allowing her to adapt to different environments or situations as it merits. This includes but is not limited to, growing a chitinous protective shell, growing or absorbing her eyestalks, growing other sensory organs or orifices on her body, adjust her height, or develop natural weapons. Additionally, unlike most people, she is not hindered by what she can eat for food. Things which are rotten, toxic, or otherwise inedible are completely fine for her consumption. Organic or "actual" food is still preferable and healthier for her. But don't be surprised if you catch her eating a car with a fork.

As a sidenote, the durability of her chitin is like that of steel- making her almost impossible to injure by "normal" people armed with simple weaponry up until firearms get involved. In addition, at a base level she is in "peak" physical condition terms of strength and speed.
- Truesight: Her eyestalks are capable of seeing in any spectrum of light. EACH one will see in one of these spectrums of light, limited to the ones that she is aware of. EACH eyestalk acts as it's own entity in terms of movement, possessing an animal level intelligence- even less than hers. In other words, they are autonomous and do not directly feed visual information to her like a normal eye. But rather if they for example see something dangerous they will inform her of this fact. It is up to their limited discretion whether or not something looks dangerous, or otherwise.
  
  The Spectrums of light she is aware of is the following: X-ray, Infared, and Ultra-violet.
- Super Sniffer Her sense of smell much like her eyesight, is also incredibly powerful- enabling her to smell things that would normally not have a scent. The range is also superior to that of even canines, making it very difficult for someone to really get away from her if they smell good to her.
- Sonic Screech: Her other method of protection or attack, is emitting a concussive blast of Sound. Ranging from a Fus-Ro-Dah styled blast with up to 5 tons of force, to a mini-hyper focused 20 ton shriek. Alternatively, can also simply release a powerful enough wail to cause short term deafness all around her.
- Metaphysical Thoughts: Her mind like everything else, very alien to other people. While she doesn't have any more resistance to psionic attacks, or mind reading, those trying to read her mind will have a bad time. Additionally, while she seems to be devoid of most common sense, some times there will be moments that she just... understands or knows something without any external prompt. To be clear, this is only some times and is not frequent enough to make up for her abject lack of common sense.
- Nigh-unkillable: Due to her limited ability to shapeshift combined with her alien physiology, it is incredibly difficult to keep her down for good- at least for now. While not overly durable or strong, and lacking a superior form of regeneration, she will nontheless seemingly come back from death when she has taken enough damage to where her body shuts down. Which is what happens. After taking excessive damage to where it'd be impossible for a normal body to function any longer, hers will simply shut down and become innert. After a certain length of time (varies based on the extent of the damage) her body will hybernate as it tries to put everything back the way it was. Then she will just "wake up" as if nothing had happened and continue on. It's possible that she could do this so long as SOME part of her remains intact.

Physical Weaknesses
Physical Limitations: While already stated she cannot completely change from one thing to the next, additionally there are other limits to how she can alter her body. Primarily based on a number of external factors related to her "food" consumption, anything new she adds to her body burns vital energy. Creating Chitin on her body, growing or extending new appendages- all of these things use up energy. As it stands currently, she can grow up to 6 5ft long eyestalks aswell as cover her body in a protective chitin shell.

In addition, it takes more time to grow chitin in abundance. This simply means she can't quickly cover herself and absorb it back on the fly, able to cover small parts of her body at a moment's notice. Trying to encase her entire body in chitin will take up to several seconds.
Far-sighted: Because the eyestalks function independently of her, she struggles more with depth perception due to her own singular eye.
THE LIGHT BURNS US: While her main eye is capable of seeing things like a normal human being, because of the sensitivity of her eyestalks she is much more vulnerable to sudden intense changes of lights; like flashbangs. At a base level, such a thing will affect her more than usual. But in addition, for each different spectrum of light her eyestalks are seeing in, this vulnerability increases further. Also additionally, any eyestalks that are blinded by such light will effectively become "braindead" due to the overload.
Nth-Metal: One of two noted exceptions to things which she cannot consume easiy- she actually has an allergic reaction to the stuff, typically manifesting as terrible sneezing fits. In theory it could also be possible to kill her via a Nth-Metal weapon imbedded in her.
Holy Shi-stuff: The other exception, which has similar effects as Nth-Metal. Additionally, actually makes her sick to consume.

Mental Weaknesses
Feral Mind: To put it simply, she lacks nearly any form of common sense that most people take for granted. If there's snack foods on store shelves, she will not think twice about trying to eat ALL of them. If she needs to cross the street, she will do so without even paying the cross walk or lights any mind- ONLY giving mind to the large metal machines speeding by,

In short, she is currently very simple minded and acts out of a primitive sense of self interest. She otherwise lacks normal behavior tendencies.
FOOD: One of her key motivators, is an overwhelming need to feed. She is almost always hungry, and will typically ignore anything else for food above all else. While not picky, she for some reason seems to enjoy corndogs, hotdogs, bananas, popsicles, ice cream, and any piece of barbeque the most.
Music: You know the phrase, "Music soothes the savage beast?" Well, that's partly true for her. It may not completely soothe her but it will typically distract her.
Overly Inquisitive: One of her other key motivators, is a strange need to... experience things. If something is fortunate enough not to be declared food, she will instead watch something with her various eyestalks, poke or prod it, smell it, and then maybe reconsider eating it. While amusing and adorable at times, it can also be said that curiosity killed the bug-eyed monster girl.

Equipment
Are you implying she hides something in her prison pocket?

«««CEREBRAL PROFILE»»»
Personality
While she has no name that she goes by, she is as mentioned a very simple minded... whatever she is. In terms of personality there isn't a lot going on, and she normally acts more like an intelligent animal than a sentient creature. However, this behavior does not explain what can easily be called an unhealthy obsession with some of the aforementioned foods. She seems to take great pleasure when eating these kinds of things, or when eating anything in general. There is also some kind of acknowledgement that some things are better for her to eat, as she only acts like this when eating a properly prepared meal instead of a hunk of metal she just chomped on out of convenience.

This is usually her first means of interacting with the world around her. If she can't fit it in her mouth, she will lick it and taste it. If it tastes good, she tries to eat it. If not, she may still eat it out of convenience but she won't be super thrilled by it. When interacting with other people or creatures, she has learned two very simple things. People are food, and people can GIVE HER FOOD. She has through unknown means also concluded that people are good for warmth and shelter, as she typically finds herself hiding in their small moving houses full of food.

As far as first impressions go, unless otherwise noted, she will invade your personal space with her eyestalks. She will sniff you, and if you smell promising enough she will try to lick you. Then will be an awkward period where she will try to decide if you fall into the category of "food" or "feeder." Outside of this, she does experience things outside of hunger which confuse and frustrate her to varying degrees. Maybe this is a sign that she can adapt to living with people!

«««PERSONAL BACKGROUND»»»

Family Members: Unknown
Place of Origin: Unknown

History
Very, very little is known of her. Outside what has become something akin to urban legend, there's literally little to go off of. What SHE personally remembers is once, she was part of something much much bigger. She was not alone, she was among many. Though she cannot remember what and can't fathom the number, she remembers this thought. Then, something tore her away. No longer was she snuggled in the warmth of many. All she coud feel was cold isolation, finding herself in a strange... strange world. Alone. She also remembers never having to think or act by herself. When others acted, she followed like a smooth running machine.

So for the initial part of her arrival, she did what came natural- and ate things. Tasting and consuming whatever she found, she spent enough time to learn how to best attract prey. Leading her to assume the form she is now of a young looking girl to lure in people expecting a weak young woman, only to find a hungry maw of teeth and unmentionable things waiting for them instead. Then one day, she found herself sneaking into a truck laden with fish heading to Jump City. Which is where she finds herself now, having learned slightly more about the inhabitants of this strange world. That people could give her food, or become food!
