All I can remember of the game is that:
I think I had to collect letters or some item to transform into animals and progress in the game -> A fish to explore the water, a bird to fly, etc.
I barely remember the word JILJ but I'm not able to find anything about this in a web search engine.
This sounds like Jill of the Jungle:
It is a platform game where the player takes the role of the titular character: an amazon woman who takes the untypical role of monster-slaying, leather-wearing feminist warrior. Jill's most distinguishing ability is morphing into various creatures, such as a bird, a fish, and others, which allow her to explore specific areas.
This is a DOS game, released in 1992 (as shareware). It is indeed very colourful, and its main character is a woman. You need to find “icons” to turn into various animals, and to turn back into Jill.
It’s available for free on GOG.
JILL.EXE, but the JILJ that OP remembers is pretty close.
1.jn1, 2.jn1, 1.jn2 etc., jill1.*...; nothing with jilj.
