Much like any other pup, she’s curious about the world, and prone to bite and gnaw on things she probably shouldn’t have in her mouth. She’s wary around humans, often appearing afraid of them, because of past experiences. Don’t mistake that fear for weakness though, she will fight if she feels cornered.
After her metamorphosis, she's shown some maturity and more intelligent and sentient mannerisms. Observing and voicing those observations, even showing signs of strategizing and thinking things through... She does still tend to act a little childlike, and wary or even afraid of some humans. She enjoys playing with her sisters, eating, and training. She tends to learn through experience, she can be emotional at times, and is getting used to all the changes and new things she's learning about herself.

Known Forms
Human form
One of her known shapeshifting forms is to mimic that of a human girl about 16 years of age 5'5" in height, thin, with long legs, ash colored hair, and small red horns poking out from the top of her head. She also has her dragon tail, which becomes smaller to match her smaller size. This form was revealed when she jumped through a window of a city inn when angry humans barged into her group's room.
Background
Born as one of the youngest of the Great Mother’s pups, she often liked to wander around their home deep in the northern lands, she felt safe exploring those regions, she was often found by one of the matriarchs and brought back home, just as the sun set on the horizon. She had for the most part, a carefree and curious life.
One day she joined in a hunt to get food, she was so happy, she finally had the opportunity to leave her home and see what was beyond. Unfortunately that wonder didn’t last long, as soon she fell into a pit trap and was captured by humans. She was taken to a large human populated city, and into some kind of fortress city, where a collar and chain was put on her, and she was treated in a way that made her quiet, and obedient, she was fed, but she didn’t live a happy life and would try to escape when no one was looking.
One day she did escape, still with a long chain and the collar attached to her, then she ran into a strange distortion and wound up in a new world.
After arriving in the new world she met a small psudodragon, Ellyth, and a dragon like woman, Jael, and began traveling with them, they were able to free her from the rest of her bonds with some help from a strange mage who turned the chains to mud. She continued traveling with Jael from that time forward. She became a good hunter, and proved to be a capable asset to their little group. Ellyth and Jael were like elder sisters to her.
One day they encountered something strange, an elf with an enslaved human. Jael freed the human and they were traveling with the elf and the human together. Xilah took a quick liking to the small human and was protective of her. While traveling towards the ocean they traveled through a wild magic area amid the jungle, battled spiders, and some strange bandits. These bandits attempted to cast a spell which went arry and harmed the party, and caused a metamorphesis in Xilah, causing her to loose her physical bulk and become more like a dragon, it granted her some strange additional magical powers as well, as it was learned she could use not only fire based magics, but also earth based. While visiting a town, attempting to get to the Rose Palace, Xilah's party's room was beseiged by some of the human commonfolk, which caused her to panic and revealed a new power, the ability to shapeshift... which has lead to more trouble and challenges, it also revealed that in times of extreme distress, she can summon lava, as a sort of defense mechanism to keep whatever is threatening her away. After being calmed and rescued by her companions, she learned a bit about clothing, and acquired a simple commoner's dress and cloths (not depicted as of yet) which was large enough to even hide her tail with the skirt.
