Granite

As if born from rock and earth Granite is adorned with stone-like spikes that trail from her shoulders to her rear. She uses these to protect herself in fights against other lionesses and gives her an advantage in fighting as the enemy cannot pounce atop her unless they wish to be impaled. The little ones always question her as to how she got the rocky armour. She simply says they are a gift. A gift from who? They ask. She doesn’t answer though. In reality, she doesn’t even know how she has this odd mutation, she’s had them as long as she could remember.
