Sinuous was a changeling who defected from Chrysalis' rule shortly after the failed canterlot invasion. She felt that the power of love, actual love, had greater potential than the vengeful overtaking the self proposed Queen had in mind. Sinuous then donned the look of a unicorn and lived in ponyville, intending to gather love from the inhabitants via good deeds and help enlist them for a coup against the evil queen.
However, she was as unwitting as most of the others when Chrysalis came back and replaced all the key figureheads in canterlot, the crystal empire, and even ponyville. She was, however, aware as everyone else that Chrysalis had been deposed with a rebel changeling spearheading a rebellion that revealed all the changelings were being forced to starve due to not being allowed to finish their growth; needing to admit and GIVE love to achieve the final step.
Sinuous attempted this, admitting she loved ponyville, she loved the citizens she'd grown to know, and true to the word, she achieved this transformation. Finally free of the perpetual starvation, she thought her life had turned around.
But now, Sinuous had a problem; she had been lying to everyone. She never once showcased that she was a changeling, for fear she would be attack, be shunned, and hated. She lives in a town of friends, but none who know the real her.
She now lives in doubt, wondering if there is anyone she can really show her true self to and not be attacked.
The changelings underwent an overhaul at the end of season 6, showing they aren't a hive species, but individual people that have a growth akin to a beetle. Specifically, a Rainbow Stag, and the swiss cheese legs and tattered bug wings was part of a starved "nymph" form.
Queen Chrysalis kept them all dumb so she was the only one gaining power, raising them as soldiers from the day they were hatched.
A rebel ended up showing that the final process is that a changeling is supposed to "take" love via their disguise, but to finish growing, they had to "give" the love in return. This then fixed their perpetual starvation and initiates the final metamorphosis.
