Her shell is misshaped and her coloring is unusual. I would give her more veggies and include a calcium supplement.

There's nothing for me to do with them, so I threw them out before they began to stink. I tried incubating them, but they are not "charged", so they dried up.

With regards to calcium, people like to use cuttlebone. Also use a good pellet like Omega One.

For calcium you can use a cuddle bone and about twice a week dip her food in a powdered calcium. I get mine from Petsmart but don't have it in front of me right now to list the brand name. I find it in the turtle isle.

As for the Veggies, I believe there is a list on this forum of turtle safe foods under nutrition. You can also just go to a pet store like Petsmart to find premade Jell-O shots if you prefer. They are more expensive, but you don't have the mess of mixing it all up.
