## Biography

### Physical Appearance

Sandy is an orange and tan-colored average-sized anthropomorphic *Sandshrew*. He resembles an armadillo and a pangolin. There's two triangular-shaped ears on his head, the inner color being a tan color, the ears has a segmented line attached to the rest of his head. His entire head and body is covered in an orange and tan colored brick-like hide. Some parts being a yellowish orange color while some being a light yellow color, his eyes are black with white pie shaped pupils. The lower proportion of his face has a tan marking that reaches the lower proportion of his eyes and lowers in a wide 'U'-like shape in between his eyes. He has a short muzzle, he's rarely seen with his mouth opened, and it's unknown if he has a nose.

There's light orange oval-shaped spots on his cheeks. Sandy has a tan belly, the same color as the marking on the lower proportion of his face. On his hands are white sharp claws, one on his thumb and three as his fingers, his feet has three claws facing forward. Sandy has a long tail which is also covered in the brick-like hide, but is a darker color than the rest of his body. The top of his head is covered in sand, including his ears and the yellow hard helmet he wears with a lamp strapped onto it. Along with the sand being all over his head are sand castles, indicating his interest in the small sand-made buildings. Sandy often carries around a small plastic yellow trowel and a sand bucket. Due to his brick-like hide and orange, yellow and tan colors, he can easily blend in with the desert and pyramids.

### Pokédex Entry (Character Bio)

Sandy's power/type is **Ground**. He lives in dry areas of the *Kanto Region*, which happens to the *Grasslands*. He however has a big liking for sandcastles and spends his entire day making them. His sandcastles aren't just castles, some of them are actually houses, towers and even pyramids. He's highly talented at creating sand castles with his bare hands, and will also become highly protective over it, meaning he either panics or becomes hostile when others get too close to it. Although Sandy is still very nice, he rarely talks to others so he has a bit of a quiet-type personality. He can easily blend in with his surroundings in the desert, grasslands and especially in pyramids. Sandy loves curling himself into a ball rolling around down hills, where he may roll over other unfortunate characters in his way and can destroy any obstacle and structure in his path. He also especially curls into a ball to protect his soft belly and face from dangerous attacks with the hard brick-like hide on his body. When curled into a ball, he could be engulfed in extreme flames and he would remain unharmed, he could also survive dangerous falls when curled into a ball.

When threated, he throws sand into his attacker's eyes leading to them becoming blind temporary, catching him enough time for him to run away. His body can actually absorb water, which is how he lives in the hot habitats he thrives in. Despite Sandy being mainly seen in the deserts and the grasslands, he's also seen in the *Forests* and on the *Beach* where he of course makes sand castles, usually only for it to unfortunately get washed away by ocean waves. If his sand castles were ever destroyed he'd become emotional and sad, which would soon lead to anger. He'll try remaking his fallen sand castle mostly to no avail. Afterwards, Sandy will then just decide to take down the sand castle as he kicks it down and makes a new one, this often leading to sand getting all over an area, which could be even worse if it's a windy way. Sandy is often found roaming around in Egyptian pyramids and tombs, it's presumed he lives there.
