You see, after umpty thousand years, Arwen was very, very familiar with human nature so the move into PI work was logical. From a dramatic POV, she makes a terrible main character (because she is so familliar with humans that she can often deduce missing information from the twitch of an eyebrow), which is why when Doyle wrote about her swanning around in London, he gave her Watson as a side-kick.
For some reason, Doyle never dwelt much on the fact that she was disguised as a man, although it is clear to the careful reader.
