Is “The transformation of the image of the Queen Mother of the West” true?

According to the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas, Western Mountains, Second Sequence', the Queen Mother of the West 'looks like a human, with a leopard's tail and tiger's teeth, and is good at whistling; her hair is disheveled and she wears a jade ornament; she is in charge of the calamities and punishments of heaven and the five residual evils.' Initially, she was a half-beast deity in charge of punishment, killing, and disasters. However, in the 'Tale of King Mu', volume 3, it is recorded that King Mu of Zhou went on a western expedition and 'met the Queen Mother of the West at the Jade Pond' and feasted and exchanged poems with her. At this time, her image had evolved into a dignified and peaceful female immortal. By the Ming Dynasty, in novels such as 'Investiture of the Gods', she further evolved into the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond who holds the banner of gathering immortals.
