I've sorted out this lady's submission history, I think:

In January 1982 her name was registered as Layla of Shadowwoods.

In January of 1982 her device, "Per pale argent and sable, a bar dancetty
enhanced between an estoils of eight points and a unicorn and a seahorse
combattant, all counterchanged" was registered.

In December of 1986 "Per pale argent and purpure, a chevron cotised 
counterchanged" was registered to Layla as a device change and the bar
dancetty device was released.

In May of 1987 the device "Per pale argent and sable, a bar dancetty enhanced 
between an estoille of eight points and a unicorn, and a seahorse combattant, 
all counterchanged" was re-registered to Layla.  This text was appended to 
the device registration:
     This corrects a paperwork error made on the part of Mistress
     Aureliane's predecessor as Star. It was erroneously indicated that the
     submittor's device should be replaced by the badge below, which was
     designated a device. This was not the case. Since no armoury in
     conflict has been registered since the erroneous release in December,
     1986, we felt it was justifiable to rectify the error without
     compelling the submittor to go through the entire resubmission process.

In May of 1987 badge "Per pale argent and purpure, a chevron cotised 
counterchanged" was registered to Layla.

In June of 1988 her name was changed to Arabella Radcliffe and the name
Layla was released (by default). 

In June of 1988 the device change of "Azure, ermined argent, three estoiles
in pale Or" was registered.  Nothing is said about the disposition of her
previously registered device (back then, as now, the default was to release
replaced devices by default).

In June of 1991 this device change was registered to Arabella Radcliffe:
"Per pale azure and argent, three chevronels braced and in chief three roses 
two and one counterchanged, barbed and seeded proper."  "Azure ermined argent,
three estoiles in pale Or" was released.

In September of 1992 the name change to Arabella of Thornwood was registered
and Arabella Radcliffe was released (by default).

In September of 1992 the device change "Per pale purpure and argent, a
chevron cotised counterchanged" was registered.  This text was appended 
to the registration:
       Her previous device (Per pale azure and argent, three chevronels
       braced and in chief three roses two and one counterchanged, barbed
       and seeded proper) is retained as a badge.

In September of 1992 her badge "Per pale argent and purpure, a chevron cotised
counterchanged" was released.

So it seems her registered name is Arabella of Thornwood, her registered
device is "Per pale purpure and argent, a chevron cotised countercahnged",
and her only registered badge is "Per pale azure and argent, three
chevronels braced and in chief three roses two and one counterchanged".

So, Susan, what was it you wanted, your 1986 blazon re-registered?  Oh,
no, replace purpure with sable.
Conflict with Branwyn de Grafton - September of 1990 (via Ansteorra): Per pale 
argent and sable, a chevron cotissed between two mullets and a roundel 
counterchanged.
(Aryanhwy Boke called this conflict on SCAHRLDS.)
There is only one Clear Difference for removing the mullets and roundel, which
are a single group of charges.  Two Clear Differences are required to clear
conflict.
