User:Bill/Rifts Week by Week/Ashara
The Shing, powerful mystic lions of the Thundercloud Galaxy, are prone to bouts of wanderlust that take them to the far corners of the multiverse. It was inevitable that one would eventually find its way to Rifts Earth. Ashara found herself in the New German Republic and decided that protecting the freedom and lives of the German people would be a worthy distraction for a while. Since joining the NGR's special tactical regiments, she has used her powers to beat back the assaults of many alien monsters including gargoyles, brodkill, and worse.
