quick description , A brown tabby tom with large green-eyes.
personality ,A young and yet awkward tom, Badgerclaw is determined to make something of himself within his home of the WindClan. From the moment of his birth he's been a quiet but confident thing, but that unseen confidence makes him seem like a coward from the outside. Badgerclaw is soft-spoken, but he has a tendancy to let his tongue get the best of him of occassions. When he disagrees with most anything, he will make sure that his distaste is shown, even if he is often embarrassed by his lack of self control later on.
Very clan oriented, the tabby seems to have a bit of trouble getting close to others and sharing his emotions. Most of his clanmates glance upon him as nothing more than another warrior, their relationships distant and uninterested. Badgerclaw hardly allows this to affect him, but sometimes he'll find himself desiring a friend or two, even if they aren't the strongest of bonds. He's been out of touch with himself for quite some time now, the death of his mentor leaving him uneasy and unwilling to make companionships. He's fearful if he grows overly attached, that he will only be pulled away from them either through drama or death.
Though he's placid and seemingly docile, Badgerclaw is a hardworker, determined to make the best of the worst even when he fails to do so. He strives to improve himself every day... He's a bit inexperienced as a warrior. His battling skills are shaky and his willingness to fight is nonexsistant. The idea of taking another life or bringing injury only drags up more grief... He views enemies as fellow cats with families and a significance within their Clans. When placed on a battle field he will often fight half-heartedly, much to the disliking of his own clanmates... He's lacking the traits of a strong warrior, but he dreams of pressing past his fear and blossoming into a fierce defender of home. Yet, only time will tell how this tom turns out.

history ,Born to the strong, yet deceased, tom known as Yelloweyes and the beautiful Snowstorm, Badgerkit arrived in a litter of two, spending his earliest days alongside his sister Palekit in the nursery. He was a very sweet young thing, given compliments and attention from kits, queens, and warriors alike. Though, his own mother was not encouraging of his soft personality. She wished for her son to be a powerful tom when he grew. Snowstorm began telling her son many stories of all the grand warriors that had filled the Clan's history. Badgerkit was blown away by all of these tales, and he quickly adapted a cockier, braver attitude.
As apprenticeship came, Badgerpaw was assigned Darkwood as a mentor, an older warrior who was very calm and collected. When Badgerpaw voiced his dreams of one day being the most fierce and respected leader in all the clans, Darkwood shook his head and laughed. 'Don't get ahead of yourself, kid. Power will be the death of you.' Being young and easily persuaded, Badgerpaw was frightened by the tom's warning far more than he was intended to be. He quickly loomed on his mentor's every word, forgetting his mother's desires for his greatness and focusing on molding himself after Darkwood. The two became like father and son, Badgerpaw's lack of a living dad making him look up to him as a rolemodel. Darkwood's demeanor revived the young apprentice's inner kindness. The older tom taught Badgerpaw to shun unnessacary fighting and allowing arrogance into life. Without his mentor, Badgerpaw might have become something of a disaster. But, he adjusted to working hard and behaving like a respectable warrior, despite disappointing his mom.
Warriorhood came quickly, and Badgerpaw and his sister, Palepaw, were thoroughly prepared to become warriors. Their mentors beamed with pride as the two recieved their warrior names. Badgerclaw and Paleflame. The days following their ceramony were filled with joy and adjustment, trying their best to fit into their new spots among the clan. But, the pleasant times did not remain for long. More so for Badgerclaw than Paleflame. Out on a patrol with Darkwood and another warrior, the group encountered a troublesome rouge. The large cat was somewhat delirious, aggressive. The elder pair of the three warriors told Badgerclaw to stand back and let them handle the feral feline. Though reluctant to wait on the sidelines, Badgerclaw was terrified by what he saw. The rogue was a fierce opponent, and after blowing through Darkwood and the she-cat that accompanied them, he set his focus to Badgerclaw. After being forced to wrestle with the foreign tom for a moment, his old mentor raised from his wounded stance on the ground, using the last spoils of his strength to tear the rouge off Badgerclaw. Darkwood, in an attempt to rescue a fellow clanmate and a dear friend, was quickly killed in a brief moment. A bite to the throat and a wail of pain saw to his end.
Badgerclaw and the other warrior used a combination of their power to run off the rouge, not able to kill him, but succeeding in getting rid of his presence for the time being. Grief stricken, Badgerclaw and his remaining companion pulled Darkwood back to the WindClan camp. The tabby has not remained quite the same since the death of his mentor, a bit distant and less talkative. He's trying to move on, but the ties broken have upset him a bit more deeply than he can manage to cope with.
