Cteno's bulk mass is a slime substance. It's highly malleable, but over time can solidify into a skin like layer. As Cteno isn't keen on morphing into strange shapes, she's pretty solid most of the time. Sudden unexpected shifts in hydration, such as splashing water, can easily melt these structures. Cteno's true form is that of a skeletal structure underneath the slime mass. This structure does not match up Cteno's self-proclaimed natural form in any way. It features an elongated, fanged skull minus a lower jaw, and lacks legs.
The skeletal structure has remained steady, but Cteno herself is prone to gradual changes in appearences. Initially a quadrapedal mass, she became bipedal, grew giant squishy scythe-like arms, claws on her feet, tentacles on her cranium which evolved into hands, and most recently, an insectoid tail that is quite difficult to maneuver.
Cteno is certainly able to push her form. She can form many tentacles, for example, but a certain point she becomes unable to control them, manage, or otherwise stop the appendages from doing as they please. And usually it's things that tentacles do. As such she's hesitant to be anything than what she feels she is naturally.
Cteno's colors denote sensitivity in that area. Orange and pink areas denote sensitive areas, or areas she uses to interact with the world. Her eyes appear to be the most sensitive, but as other have pointed out, they aren't real eyes. Nor do they match up with her skull's sockets. And to that end, why cteno feels a need to form what appear to be glasses out of her biomass is unknown, and yet she can't see well without them.
Cteno does seem to take all of this in stride though. At most, it's just a bad slime day. She gets over it and moves one. Arguably, she's the most normal employee at the studio. She manages a healthy social life outside of work with friends, enjoys going out, shopping, and even has time to date. While it's proven her main biomass formed only three years ago, she does have the knowledge and temprament of a woman in her mid twenties. She's a very normal average girl. There are real social, mental, and physiological conflicts here.
