Major Skills:
* Super Strength - That granted by having a body made of Wood. The swings of a tree can pack a punch but are prone to recoil damage and thus breaking her limbs if overdone due to lack of nerves.
* Limb Regrowth - If cut, limbs can regenerate. This usually takes from months to a year so it's a skill that is not really exploited much.
* Healing Bubbles - she can blow a few bubbles with an antiseptic which can be a bit sticky, but may stop bleeding. These don't instant heal and rather prevent infection.
Minor Skills:
* Bark Bending - Her body secreetes a sustance that turns wood into a slightly more moldable composition. This only works on the wood she grows on herself and is but the reason behind her capability to be a living tree. She can also use this to hide and try to pass as a normal tree.
* Wooden Hard body - Is covered by it in a similar fashion Human's wear clothing (Except it's obviously thicker)
* Ingrained rooting - "Feet" can be used to clutch the ground and other areas to remain standing and difficult to trip. Using this, it is entirely possible for her to walk on walls and even the ceiling, but since it's quite a delicate feat due to gravity... this tends to be super slow so dont expect to see it often

Character's Background: From a very young age she has noticed the different looks that humans and other creatures like them change in contrast to other forest creatures like wolves and plants. It was interesting that the same humanoid could just use a "piece of clothing" to change their looks instead of waiting months, she quickly became interested in them.
Practicing, she tried to immitate their styles by bending her wooden cover until eventually getting a mastery of this. People would come and find all these interesting looking trees. In turn, she would get to see them wearing all sorts of outfits.
She was later called upon by the elders, who told her she was bringing more and more attention to the forest and in consequence, she was to blame for the trash dropped and the damaged caused by the humans.
She decided to stop and everything returned to normal until a particular human came with all the intention of researching the patterns. Her curiosity got her and she changed the looks on some trees.
What she did not expected is for the man to come with lumberjacks. Scared of the axes, she let herself fall so that she wouldnt be "cut down". This called the researcher's attention and was taken to a botanic university in America.
There she would hear interesting conversations that she didnt quite understand, but the casual chattery between the scientists allowed her to learn about humanity.
For a couple of years the scientists were rather laidback about messing with plants. but when they reached an enough understanding they began to probe them.
Knowing that she must not be discovered, she pleaded for someone to help her. It was then that a letter to an Academy invited her to meet other monsters. The magic in the enveloped allowed her to escape by enchanting the lab's cameras and once outside she made her way out of town.
Wanting to learn more about humans, she waited a couple of years while watching in the forest before finally deciding to go to the monster academy.
