She's a LipstickLesbian with an eye for fashion, which is unusual for a troll like her, so it plays on her interests while doubling as an intimidating weapon, which is more of their cultural norm. Though its use as normal lipstick can be compromised by getting bloody in a fight, it stops being a downside by the time she's turned into their equivalent of a vampire.
