Minerva sheds her previous form completely, adopting a new base form. Her new form isn't quite flesh and blood, though. It only behaves that way because she believes it should. Her body is made of thought and will and materials from the Dreamlands.
The young girl is now an anthropomorphic kitsune, with bright golden eyes and brightly coloured fur. She has a bushy tail which she has only just barely learned to keep out from underfoot. Her entire form is a little bit brighter and more intense than it should be, as though the brightness and contrast sliders were both turned up by twenty percent.
Her blood is a vibrant scarlet, brighter than it should be. But shortly after leaving her body it turns to a metallic quicksilver, boiling and bubbling. The blood itself feels angry, thrilling with rage.
She still remembers her old form, with mixed feelings. She can turn back into it, but it's not right. Not anymore. When she returns to her base form, that's not it anymore.
Minerva's form is made of will more than anything else - and she can choose how it is effected. Expressions of energy, heat and cold, have little effect on her if she chooses not to let them. And being made from will, it suffuses her entire body. She isn't stored in the brain any more than she is stored in the foot - She doesn't have a soul, she is a soul. She has a body.
