That's fine, I primarily had the changing appearance aspect as a reflection of her magic being (very) loosely based on reincarnation in Hinduism as opposed to say a phoenix's reincarnation.  Possible hijinks were also on my mind, though I can see how drastically differing appearances could extend beyond just that into OOC annoyance.  I've updated it so while it still changes, it has strong tendencies towards her old attributes so hopefully that will allow for the best of both worlds!

In regards to updating images, I prefer to keep things as upkeep-free as possible.  Perhaps a good way would be just to update the one icon image above the CS in the characters tab as opposed to the three inside?  It'd also be nice to have the finished image waiting before a reincarnation so I can base the new appearance on the image instead of the other way around, then get a new one for the next incarnation

Having to update the image may be tedious to keep up with on both sides, so if nothing else, you could just have a recognizable permanent mark on her face (or something equivalent) that is consistent no matter which form she takes. So people (and the players) familiar with Manny can be like, "Oh, that's just Manny" Whereas other people unfamiliar with her can be confused or tricked because they don't know her mark or key feature that people familiar with her do. That way, you can just describe her new form IC, but we will know its her automatically cause of this distinguishable "mark" or something to that avail.
