[[WMG:Nimona is at least partially subject to PsychoactivePowers]]
Nimona has no trouble transforming into mundane animals like bears and gorillas normally, but when it comes to her really impressive forms, she needs to be in a particular mood for the transformation to work. That's why she doesn't become a cereal mascot dragon until she's propelled to it by seeing Ballister in danger and being unable to save him, for example, or why she doesn't go full-blown OneWingedAngel until the climax - as she's never been despairing enough to assume that form until then.

** The movie itself seems to support this theory with various posters showing Nimona with dragon wings and tail, and the climax has her (in the phoenix form) pass by the mural of the dragon who is seen attacking Gloreth. If this theory gets confirmed in any sort of continuation of the movie, my mind will blown up ([[Main/InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons in the positive way]]).

[[WMG:Nimona is a dragon.]]
She is (initially) a self-aware monster for knights to slay, a role traditionally for a dragon. However, dragons in this world aren't treasure-hoarding, princess-stealing, kingdom-burning monsters, but {{Pure Magic Being}}s bordering on DragonsAreDivine. It's possible that Nimona is the [[LastOfHisKind Last of Her Kind]], to explain why she's so in the dark about her origins. Spending most if not all of her early life trying to integrate with other creatures by shapeshifting slowly made her forget her birth form, and if she tried again now, her body would be tempted to stay in its dragon shape.

The people of her village hailed her as a hero for "defeating" the "evil shapeshifter" who had destroyed their home.

[[WMG:Nimona is the LiteralSplitPersonality of a great power, possibly a God.]]
There are six other "children" with abilities like Nimona in the world. Each has a ColorMotif (Nimona obviously being Red) that together make up a rainbow. The higher being is the original "Nimona", explaining where our Nimona got her name despite spending most of her life without anyone to ''give'' her a name. A sequel will follow some of Nimona's "siblings" trying to merge back together, while Nimona and the others want to stay separate, having developed a sense of self.

The way she specifically uses the term "love language" to Ballister comes off like she's giving him dating advice. ND Stevenson also drew Nimona's comic counterpart [[{{https://twitter.com/Gingerhazing/status/1675557051047759872}} drawing Ballister and Ambrosius kissing]]. So if the "love is love" graffiti isn't a reference to her feelings for Gloreth, it's her acknowledging/supporting her boss' feelings for his boyfriend.

Specifically, she's this world's goddess of mischief/a trickster, hence the shapeshifting.
