Creo que significa que las (buenas) características que tienes no van a cambiar en toda la vida, y las tendrás hasta la muerte. Encontré dos traducciones en inglés también, y las puse en el diccionario de modismos. Ah, también es genio, no genia.
Genio y figura hasta la sepultura.
A leopard can't change its spots.
A wolf must die in its own skin.
Espero no estar equivocado.

Tiny corrections. Estoy de acuerdo con David y con Rusty. Se usa bastante en España.
