First she billed her transformation as being from tearaway to angel after a jail term for bottling a fellow clubber.
Now Hannah Shotbolt is hoping to start a revolution in Gloucester in her bid to become above the law as a 'freewoman'.
Hannah, 24, hopes a little known legal loophole will set her free from paying taxes and lead a new lawless life where she is in charge of her own destiny.
It is an idealistic ambition that has fired up opinion, particularly on social media.
Hannah's Facebook postings under the name Hannah Rose have seen her attract more than 3,000 Likes and almost 7,500 followers from around the world in just a few weeks.
Imprisoned at HMP Eastwood Park for five months in 2012, Hannah was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Her prison experience forced her to take responsibility for her actions, now she wants to take responsibility for her actions how she chooses to.
Hannah, from Hucclecote is calling for a 're-awakening' in Gloucester.
She said: "Being a Freewoman crossed my path online and I felt I just had to go with it.
"When we are born, the crown separates an entity called a legal person, but I'm claiming to be a living soul.
"The artificial person has duties and responsibilities like paying taxes.
"I'm claiming common law so I'm not causing harm or loss to anybody. I should be free to live my life."
Hannah has contacted the Queen as head of state, the Government, DVLA and the police in Gloucestershire, making them aware of her intentions.
She gave them ten days to respond or tell her what she was doing was unlawful.
When she didn't receive any replies, Hannah passed details of her car onto local police and told them what she was doing.
She was later arrested for driving offences committed in Tewkesbury.
Hannah added: "Our rights and freedom of speech are being taken away from us every day and I've decided to stand up for it.
"Like many people, I'm aware the system has failed.
"I want to show there is a way out for people.
"We are being made to feel we are a legal entity and have legal obligations.
"In reality we don't.
"Bankers and corporations have taken over the soul of our existence.
"We are conditioned into going to work and being something that is not human, against our nature. "Nurses and firefighters have sworn an oath to help people.
"If I went to hospital, I'm pretty sure they would help me for free.
"If we had the resources we are all entitled to we would all have enough to live on, crime would reduce and people would have better lives."
Hannah insists society would thrive if we all chose not to pay tax.
She advocates the idealism of the Venus Project, an American based organisation proposing a feasible plan of action for social change.
On the social media site one of her supporters Jimmy DuPont said: "If somehow you are successful in your quest it will be a huge milestone and set a precedent for the whole country."
Joe Maloney is a solicitor advocate and a regular face defending clients in Gloucester Crown Court from across the county.
He was bemused by the idea and said: "I have certainly not heard of the legal loop hole and I am not sure it would work in the courts.
"I have once represented someone who argued he was a freeman.
"He was successfully acquitted - not because he claimed he was a free man and the court had no jurisdiction - but on the lack of evidence against him.
"It showed it paid to have faith in the justice system."
