Adella is a Changeling. She requires a bucket in her quarters to regroup so to speak ever evening. She serves on the Starship Washington as a Bridge Officer. She is quiet, hard-working and incredibly quick witted. She is a fine pilot and has her sights on being a Captain one day.
Being Changeling
The Changelings are liquid-based, shapeshifting lifeforms native to the Gamma Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy. Their homeworld was, apparently, a rogue planet within the Omarion Nebula.
A Changeling's natural state is its liquid form, which it must revert to every sixteen hours in order to rejuvenate.
In "A Man Alone" it was first stated that Odo had to rejuvenate every 18 hours, afterwards it was consistently stated as being every 16 hours.
Since Changelings do not eat, "Robert Wolfe used to theorize that the Changelings pulled their energy directly from subspace. His theory also stated that "Changelings use some sort of subspace "pocket" to store additional mass during a morph."
Changelings can take virtually any form (typically limited by their mass ranging from humanoid aliens to fog to reflective surfaces. They, or at least the Founders, also have the ability to closely mimic humanoid personalities to the point where even close friends and colleagues often cannot distinguish them from the originals.
Changelings can survive in the vacuum of space, and are highly resistant to disruptor fire.
Changelings – or at least Odo – have no sense of smell. Changelings have the ability to sense, in most cases, the presence of other Changelings.
The Founders of the Dominion are Changelings, and make up the majority of the Dominion's leadership. Changelings prefer to think of themselves as a drop (the individual) in the larger ocean (what they call the Great Link). A Changeling, therefore, typically has little sense of individual identity. Being a liquid-based lifeform, in order to link with other Changelings they simply revert to this state and the liquid blends together, creating a link between them.
According to the Founders, at one time they were peaceful and explored the galaxy. But they were persecuted by some of the solids, and they came to believe that the only way to protect themselves was to conquer those around them. Solids (mono-form humanoids) called the Founders "Changelings" as an insult, but the Founders took the name for themselves as an act of defiance. (DS9: "The Search, Part II") The story came from one of the Founders herself.
Long ago, the Founders sent out one hundred infant Changelings in order to gather information and explore, to return later and share what they have learned. The Founders did not expect any to return until the late-27th century. Odo and Laas were among the 100.
The Great Link was soon infected by a morphogenic virus that threatened the Changelings with extinction. The Federation's secret police, Section 31, intended to wipe out the Founders, leaving the Dominion powerless and wavering. This was cured by Odo.
