Alira is a 30 year old nidorina sandshrew fusion living in the sonic world, somewhere around grand metropolis. She can stick various materials on her body for added defense, though it does involve licking herself like a hedgehog, this includes some...odd materials like pieces of the moving sidewalk things found in Grand Metropolis (and power plant), granted this also depends on what's around her for use. She has the powers of a nidorina, a sandshrew, and the elements of poison and earth. Being part sandshrew, on top of the various materials she could stick to herself, she can curl up (and of course spin dash). Unfortunately, if she does stick materials to herself, she will not be able to raise any spikes (so she will need to take this into consideration).
