Unusual beardie tail

I've only had my female beardie for a few days and she's settling in fine, however she seems to have a misformed tail that appears nipped in a quarter of the way down all the way to the bottom. Did an accident cause this or was she likely born with it? I've attached a picture so you can see

It looks bent, is that what you mean? I can't see the tail tip so maybe that portion was nipped?

It's hard to tell from the photo. It could have been born with the bend or it could have been damaged somehow while it was still forming.

Thanks, it's not a great photo but she has pretty orange markings on her head and a normal, dull coloured body if that makes sense? (Can U tell I'm new to this lol) I got her from a girl in my town through a reptile facebook page, the girl was re-adopting her because she has cystic fibrosis and is always in hospital. I was silly to not question her small size :( but she's my little baby now! X
