You can access a Companion's profile by clicking on the Getting Started Menu > Members Database, then either clicking on the bonded character's name OR clicking on your player name > then the bonded character under "Characters & Companions". Click on the "Edit Companion" button to access the update section; this button will only show on Companion associated with your OOC name.
