I highly doubt any of the Faunus race are capable of shape-shifting unless it is part of their semblance. As for her ears; all of the animal-eared faunus we have seen thus far also have human ears, and they appear to be fully functional.

On the not of whether Blake is Beauty or Beast, I believe she is both. Yes, Adam is a reference to the Beast, but Blake probably views herself as more beast than beauty, despite being based off of Belle.
