Made some of those changes to Nessie's character sheet :) How's this?
Nessie is strikingly similar in appearance to the now extinct Plesiosaur. She has a large, egg-like body, with a long neck and tail, and two pairs of flippers. She is countershaded, with blue-grey on top, and creamy white on her belly and the bottom of her neck, flippers, and tail for camouflage. Her skin is smooth and reptilian in order to decrease resistance when she swims.
Nessie's body is around 20m long, and 15m tall. Her neck and tail are each around 15m, giving her a total length of 50m.
Nessie's always just sort of 'been around', never as shy around human's as she shoud've been. When the invasion happened, she was just swimming around Loch Ness. Not much really changed for her, except now she's much cooler with popping her head up to say 'hi'.
Psychic Camouflage - Nessie's camouflage abilities go well beyond merely having good colouring to avoid detection. She is capable of warping the minds of those who see her to where they dismiss her as being just a part of the scenery such as a log or a particularly strange looking bird. This ability does not work, however, on those with a significantly active imagination, for whom seeing her would not be so strange or out of the ordinary.
Empathic Projection - Whilst she cannot communicate with words, she can project a general aura of an emotion onto the humans or kaiju around her. In the past, she's used this to make sure that, even if they don't see her, tourists leave happy and satisfied with their trip.
Sensory projection - can project sensations onto both humans and Kaiju, regardless of where they are in the world, so long as she knows what they look like. Although only one individual at a time. (so like, she could make someone think they're drowning, or on fire, or nice things too :) )
Memory Projection - Can make an individual, human or Kaiju, experience a memory or imagined scene, wherever they are in the world.
Memory Probe - Can peak into the recollections of others, human or Kaiju, so long as they are contact with water.
Psychic Lake Monster - Just Add Water! - Whilst capable of using her abilities on any within a 10 mile radius of Loch Ness, she is only able to use them on those further afield if they are in contact with a substantive amount of water (so not just like, water vapour in the air, but getting rained on would leave someone vulnerable).
Confined - Whilst Nessie could probably survive in bodies of water other than Loch Ness, she is, in general, unable to survive outside of water, so can't really move on her own.
Not Much Of A Fighter - Nessie isn't really built for one on one combat, and relies heavily on her camoflage abilities and general speed and agility even whilst hunting (she mostly lives of a diet of moderately sized sea birds and fish - and for a while was the cause of a decline in seagulls).
Nessie is a gentle giant. In the past, she's had a bit of a sense of humour, deliberately letting humans see her in order to cause a stir, but genuinely, she's pretty chill and just wants to get on with her life. As far as humans go, she's rather fond of them. She finds them amusing and curious, and would really rather they weren't wiped of the face of the planet.
Nobody really knows where Nessie came from, and before the invasion, some would say she was never there at all. A product of drunk scotsmen, of people eager for a taste of the mystserious and the magical.
Well. You know what they say about being careful what you wish for.
