First reaction? Enough profanity to strip the paint off the walls. Second reaction? Try to figure out what the controls are for the powers. I'm an RPG gamer and scifi/fantasy geek, and would certainly recognize my new form. Were it me I'd probably spend at least a little time playing around with shapeshifting. Alps are flat because they don't want breasts, not because they can't have them. I'd at least want to be able to hide the horns, wings and tail before I encounter people. Sooner or later I'd realize none of my clothes fit, but fortunately my tastes in clothes are fairly blue collar, and there's a Goodwill across the street from my apartment. On the way to the store, I'd likely notice I'm not overweight, out of shape or on the wrong side of 40 (knees and all) anymore and probably detour (once I have clothes that fit) to the local playground and run some baseline tests on myself. Then some more time in katas to get used to things like reach and center of gravity. Being honest, while I tend towards (but don't quite reach) asexuality (and have since my 20s), the sex drive of a succubus would likely cause some Alice-like tendencies with regard to impulsive/subconscious use of charm magic, so I might well get laid (male or female partner) by surprise rather than conscious intent at some point along the way. Ultimately, I'd probably adapt fairly well, without the denial period Alps typically undergo.
