Before Birth ..
Badger was not born in any of the five clans. In fact both of her parents are Rogues. Despite being Rogues, her parents, Badgerheart and Foxwhisper honored and cherished the Warrior Code, despite their ancestors breaking it. The line of "Badger" began with a young apprentice in an ancient old clan. As a warrior, she earned the name Badger"bane" by leading a small band trained Warriors to battle off badgers that invaded the clan. She became a protector of the clan and was soon made deputy. She continued to serve her clan, protect it from other Clans and badgers a like. But, as the story goes some say she was not fit for leadership so when the leader passed she fled away from the Clans. While other stories say that she was killed in battle of a badger by herself. As the years went the ending was lost in time.

For generations the line of "Badger" ran it's course through the currently named Thunderclan until it was broken by a young female who was kidnapped as an apprentice by a some rogues. No longer raised within the Clans she grew up away from the Warrior code. As moons turned to season she became more at home among the Rogues and ended up falling in love with a fellow Rogue. After many seasons the two were blessed with their first litter.

Kithood ..
As a young kitten Badger, her two other siblings and parents moved constantly around the borders of the five Clans. Mostly they tried settle one way or another around Thunderclan. Because rogues weren't very welcome near Clan borders, they tried desperately to find that perfect margin between Clans where they can grow their kits, keep an eye on the Clans and survive. After a few moons of searching the small family settled between Thunder and Shadowclan. Thunderclan seemed relatively peaceful and the forest and the Shadowclan marshes seemed rich. Badgerheart and Foxwhisper began to teach their kittens about the ancestors, about Starclan and about the warrior code. Living next to the clans, you did make some friends and learned a few things.

With the little knowledge she retained from her apprenticeship, she taught a little herbal knowledge to her kits. It was nothing that could cure green cough, but enough to at least mend a scratch so fight off infection. Of course, there was only so much a young kit could soak in. While her siblings focused on their studies, Badger was always wandering off. Chasing a butterfly or getting distracted by the whisper of the wind howling through the forest.

Badgerheart saw so much in her little gray and white kit, thus she had earned her name. Deep in her heart she could feel that her kits would return back to the clans to renew their line to Starclan.

Badger and her siblings had just reached three moons old, and thus were no longer tiny kits. The parents went off on a hunting trip to bring back live prey to finally test their skills the young kits had been honing since they could walk.
Now, unfortunately for the small family their nest was a bit too close to Shadowclan territory. It was just close enough to catch the attention of the a small band of badgers that had invaded Shadowclan territory. The scent of small kittens was too tempting to pass up.

While waiting for their parents in their makeshift den of brambles, the kits began to do what kits do best, play. The attention attracted a nearby badger. As the badger began to approach it peered into the den and found the three kits. For a moment it was at a loss of what to do, then Badger sprung up and scratched the badger's nose. The badger gave a howl of pain before it dove into the brambles, but by then the kits had scattered. Hearing the distant howl Badgerheart and Foxwhisper rushed home.

They came just in time to see the Badger grab little Badger by her scruff. Without thinking Badgerheart attacked, making the Badger release the kit. While in full mother rage, the two fought while Foxwhisper got the kits to safety. When he returned to the thicket, Badgerheart was severely wounded. The small family came together one last time. Badgerheart said this to her kits: "The path of a Rogue is tough...you must return to the clans." Badgerheart looked to her mate, if the kits were returned to the clans then perhaps..Starclan will not forsake her. With a promise that she will follow the path of Starclan, she said goodbye to her Mother.

With a heavy heart, Foxwhisper left his kit at the border of Thunderclan, knowing the Warrior Code could not turn away a helpless kit. Suddenly feeling the loss of not just her Mother, but her Father as well Badger cried out. Hoping someone would hear her. . .

Apprenticeship ..
Being found at the border, little Badger was taken into the Clan. Her scratches from the Badger attack were healed. Her mother may have taught some herbal knowledge, but nothing was compared to the Medicine Cat of Thunder Clan. Badger attached herself onto Daisyshine, even after being healed of her wounds. The young cat was quite eager to learn all about Medicine Cats and often ran errands to collect herbs for Daisyshine; even without being her apprentice.

While she was healing she always asked Daisy questions about what herb was that, not necessarily asked what it was for. But how hard was it to find a matching plant? Even without being a Medicine Cat apprentice, she would still make time to go collect herbs while training to be a warrior. Even though..that was not what she wanted to do. Deep down, Badgerpaw was terrified of battling. She had scratched that badger's nose..she was play-fighting with her siblings which had attracted the badger. Her mother fought instead of running with her dad. All had been caused by fighting. . .
