AIGHT THIS IS GONNA BE LONG AF so I've been playing with this idea in my head and so I have come up with this monster.
This thing starts with Vidi's death to which she would be brought back to life back in hell to uncover her demon origins. At that point, she would also have an improved set of powers that makes more sense than her old version because honestly, 2015 me was just really terrible at this.I'd still need someone who'd even try to kill her though.
With this upgrade, the current version of her Power, Evil Eye will become inactive and cannot be used until a future update that will re-activate it. So for this upgrade, it will essentially be removed. Ideally, all changes in Species Abilities would be changed in one go — with exception for one section that was only rewritten, I'm guessing.
For ease of comparison, this is the current version of her species abilities, bulleted into the four items that will then be swapped:
The new one should look like this (also bulleted per item):

Shape-shifter Demon
<a> Being born from a demonic entity, Invidia has inherited abilities that her human body can possess.
She is able to shape-shift, but only to creatures (people included) that she has seen and only up to twice her size. She was 14 when she discovered this ability. She does not have complete control over this and it is said it would take her centuries to master it. She can maintain her half human-half demon form but she is inconsistent with her gender. Either way, she still retains a humanoid shape. Her general problem is that her ability is only limited by how much she can handle. Which is to say, she only has a few minutes before she changes back. Which is another reason why Invidia is incapable of permanently making herself look completely human on a day to day basis. She somehow has better control for partial shape-shifting and it seems to last longer.
<b> As a demon, Invidia possesses the ability to heal rapidly than normal humans. Small cuts will have healed in mere seconds and not leave any trace on her skin. She can regrow limbs but it will take some time depending on how much the damage is. Severe or fatal injuries can still kill her as she is still half-human and consequently, a mortal.
<c>Invidia is only a half-demon. She didn't inherit her father's immortality or longevity. She is just as mortal as her mother if one doesn't count her rapid healing. <d> As heightened emotions strengthens her power, it also affects her command over her own empathic powers. In this case, if her emotions are too strong, even for her, she might cause more damage than necessary.

The new one should look like this (also bulleted per item):
Envy Demon - Human Halfling
<A> Born with demonic blood in her, Invidia possesses magical ability of inhuman nature.
Her major ability is shapeshifting. While her default form remains to be her two demonic humanoid set, Invidia can take the form of any living creature she has laid her eyes on, be it human or animal for an indefinite time. Her forms are limited by size and weight, being able to only shift into creatures four times her default weight and/or up to three times her standing height at most. Her smallest form would be the size of a large domestic cat with half her default weight concentrated into the small form. In other words, her smallest form would be a large cat weighing at least about 25 kilograms.
Fully shifting into any creature doesn't give her any of their magical abilities and shifting into more complex forms would take longer as the whole process of shifting from one shape to another is a series of partial changes over a short amount of time. Based on this, a full-body transformation can cause a lot of stress on her body so she cannot continuously change from one form to another without exhausting herself. She can do partial transformations and change the form of individual parts of her body to her leisure, with definitely more comfort than a full-body change. She may still have room for training.
Granted, she doesn't shift into a 100% copy of her target form: Invidia always retains her markings on her body, appearing like tattoos or fur pattern on any forms that she takes. They're always there but are masked to the naked eye until she is about to use her abilities. People who can see through illusions can see this clearly on her at all times. She can choose to appear fully human if she wishes, doing away with all the her demonic features for both her feminine and masculine forms, but her markings retain the same properties as in any form she would take.
<B> Invidia also has the ability to heal rapidly compared to most humans. Small cuts will have healed in mere seconds and not leave any trace on her skin. She can regrow limbs if they have been severed, often taking at least an hour depending on how violent it had been removed from its place. For example, a limb that had been cleanly sawed off will have a better recovery time than one that had been crushed and violently hacked off.
She can only do this per part; so if say both arms have been removed, the time it takes to regrow will split between the two, doubling the entire time it would have taken for just one lost limb. Which basically means full body damages of this nature can kill her. She cannot regrow organs if they are destroyed. Meaning that severe injuries, as well as internal injuries can definitely still kill her, especially when not given proper medical attention.
<C> Invidia's not really immortal — she's heavily dependent on whether or not Leviathan would choose to bring her back if she dies again. If killed, she would be dragged back to hell and another physical body will be remade there before being able to return to Manta Carlos, doing away with impurities she has acquired over time such as scarring. Additionally, she has stopped aging and she has acquired longevity to allower to live longer than normal human life expectancy.
<D> With her personal emotions no longer directly linked to her abilities, it instead shifts focus to outer sources. Invidia is now aware of negative emotions around her, be it anger, jealousy, or sadness. It draws her in, like a moth to a flame; the more intense the emotion, the stronger the lure. She can also feed on this in a way more of like breathing in smoke. While it does not affect those who have been fed on, this ability has a sort of rejuvinating effect that slightly eases her body pains due to shapeshifting. And for reasons unknown to her, exposure to high amounts of negativity gives her a reaction similar to being intoxicated, and even more so when she feeds on it.
<E> Invidia has developed an intolerance to holy and divine objects and beings who exhude aura of said nature. While she would not be outright hurt by being present in areas of worship, she would feel slightly nauseated which only grow in intensity the longer she remains in the area. She won't be able to stand being inside a holy edifice for longer than 5 hours as she would have likely already fainted by that point. Being around beings that have holy or divine auras make her feel lightheaded, with effects also increasing the more she interacts with them. Injuries inflicted by weapons of holy and divine affinity deal more efficient damage staggering her healing rate to a stop and hindering severed limbs from regenerating. These weapons also tend to burn her skin when she comes into direct contact.

To summarize, here's the breakdown of all changes in the species abilities to be made from bullet points:
a > A) Upgraded: Shapeshifting | Vidi gains control of her shapeshifting with removal of the time limit, but still limited with size and weight. Her markings remain although filtered from the naked eye.
b > B) Rewrite: Healing and regeneration | Clarifications; no actual upgrade.
c > C) Upgraded/Added: Mortality | Her aging is halted and she gains longevity. Made conditionally immortal through Prince of Hell, Leviathan.
d > D) Altered/Added Power: Empathic feeding | Now able to sense and feed on negative emotions. Attracted to it. Has mild pain relieving effects but gets her drunk. Bears no effect on target.
+ E) Added New Weakness: Demon Weakness | Intolerance to anything of holy and divine affinity causing dizziness and nausea. Slows down or completely stops healing and regen.
b > B) Rewrite: Healing and regeneration | Clarifications; no actual upgrade.
c > C) Upgraded/Added: Mortality | Her aging is halted and she gains longevity. Made conditionally immortal through Prince of Hell, Leviathan.
