The female changeling nearly always appears in a female-Odo-like-version. I understand that she uses that form when negotiating with the federation or meeting Odo, which is explained in other questions and answers. But that is not my question. She even keeps this form when Odo (or someone else from the federation) is not around.
Why does she not take the appearance of a lifeform of the gamma-quadrant (Jem'Hadar, Vorta, ...) or at least the form of allied species (Cardassian, Breen), when only together with them? Before coming to the Alpha Quadrant, they did not know how humans looked, so they must have another appearance when communicating with species there. Why did she not used this appearance? I remember that they replaced Martok with a changeling, so they should have the ability to take form of their allies or minions.
Is this ever explained in the series?
