Badgerpelt

## Badgerpelt's Rank and Appearance:

Badgerpelt is a female Thunderclan warrior and, much like her name suggests, she has markings and colors similar to those of a Badger. For a Thunderclan cat, she has an odd smell though, she smells bad and musky like an otter or badger. Her scent has proved a disadvantage many times such as when she was scented by Shadowclan cats Cardinalstar (formerly Cardinalbreeze), Ibiscreek, Widowpaw, and Elmpaw many times. More to the likeness of the appearance of her savage animal counterpart, she is a large, bushy furred, and stocky she cat. While Badgerpelt is a mix breed, she is mainly Maine Coon, which is why she has grown so large. This also makes her one of the largest, strongest, and best for the lifestyle of fighting in Thunderclan, even surpassing the size of her leader, Boulderstar. However, this comes as a disadvantage because she can't dodge the hits of much smaller more agile cats such as the skinny ones found in Windclan, even cats in her own clan. Nevertheless, as a proud (maybe too proud!) Thunderclan warrior, she's proven to be as powerful as she needs to be to survive.

## Badgerpelt's Personality and Traits

Badgerpelt is as rude as her gloomy look suggests. From early age to her current state, she has proven that from many actions that have harmed or made other cats angry. Badgerpelt is also vain and overly prideful, her boasting often angers others cats, it has even caused fights. Badgerpelt is filled with so many "negative" traits that she now perceives them as good things about her, especially the nasty deeds.

-Vain

-Rude

-Cruel

-Loyal (At first)

-Witty

-Spiteful

-Emotional

-Mischievous (not in a playful way)

## Badgerpelt's Kithood

Patchy was born to her mother, Lady, and her father, Dogwhistle. They were loners who were kittypets before their twoleg died and they were left to fend for themselves. Patchy was born to a litter of 5 kits, 3 sisters and 1 brother. Life with her family in kithood was not easy, not yet at least. Patchy's parents were starving as they tried to hunt for eachother, especially Patchy's mother. Day by day, the amount of milk each kit was able to drink was smaller and smaller and feeding time was shorter and shorter. Soon some of the kits ribs started to show. That's when tragedy struck, Patchy's father, then her mother, then her two smallest sisters died. She was left with a sister, brother, and herself. Without being able to hunt, they weened themselves to survive, it was time after all. And yes, gross, but they had to eat their siblings and parents to survive. Their groans and moans of dismay were heard throughout their area, but, they never reached ears. When the meat turned to crow food though, they had no choice but to go out on their own. Patchy didn't want to leave her rotting mother's side though and lashed out at her sister, being too young to survive it, her last female sibling died. Out of fear, her brother took off into the forest blindly, Patchy hadn't seen them since. Patchy cried and cried as she sat over her sister's body. That's when somebody finally heard her. It was a kind she-cat named Bushpelt. The she-cat took her to Thunderclan camp and the clan accepted her and gave her the name of Badgerkit for her markings and resilience. Soon after, she had forgotten all about her family and loved Lilyfeather and Bushpelt much more. Soon after that, her kithood was normal as she spent the days lazing in the sun and dreaming of becoming a warrior. She always found something to do even though she was one of the only Thunderclan kits at the time.

## Badgerpelt's Apprenticehood

Her sad past was far away then for she was overfilled with excitement for becoming an apprentice, however, it was not on any happy circumstances, since she was one of the only kits and since she already showed her strength, she was forced to become an apprentice just before 6 moons. Even worse, in her first week as an apprentice, she went into battle against Shadowclan. This was her first taste of fighting and, even though she was beaten brutally, Badgerpaw seemed to like it. This was the start of her cruelty and, day by day, she became ruder and meaner. Badgerpaw's apprenticehood was still rather normal after the fight though, just more prone to have skirmishes due to her nature. When it came time for her assessment she passed with flying colors in fighting, a true show of her skill. She was named Badgerpelt by Boulderstar on a wonderful newleaf day.

## Badgerpelt's Warriorhood

Badgerpelt had now fully embodied her negative traits. She broke her first code in her own camp when she struck a kit for taking prey by themselves and after that, her criminal side flourished. She trespassed, fought for fun, disobeyed her own leader, and, worst of all, ate the meat of the cats she had defeated in battle. She had developed such a liking for flesh from her own mother's death. She liked it more than any plump mouse. While telling you each fight she has had would take a long time, there is one fight that changed her: The fight with Frenzyclaw and Lightningmask. There she showed true power when she nearly killed both of them (Wishpaw dealt the killing blows though). After many moons of fighting and striking fear into other clans, many high ranks such as Reedstar, Torrentcreek, and Sparkstream have learned to hate her. The feared Badgerpelt is currently still alive and young, ready to fight more. Badgerpelt has kept low though after being ambushed by 6 Shadowclan cats lead by Torrentcreek, the Windclan deputy. After nearly dying, she isn't worth going back to a life of violence... yet.

## Codes broken:

-Badgerpelt broke the second code when she was caught numerous times trespassing and even hunting on another clan's territory

-Badgerpelt, while not caught, has gone out to hunt for herself rather than her clan and has thus broken code 3

-Code 11 was broken by Badgerpelt when she allowed another cat, Lightningmask, walk alongside her in Thunderclan territory. This was not out of nice regards though because Badgerpelt was doing this to give Lightningmask a good perspective of her before killing the tom (Frozenleaf had assigned Badgerpelt as a hitman to kill Lightningmask and anybody who got in her way)

-Code 12 was perhaps the code that was broken most severely by Badgerpelt as she has abused and even killed kits. She has not yet been caught.

-Badgerpelt has disobeyed her leaders Boulderstar and Scorchstar but, about rather minor things luckily. This is code 13.

-Indeed, Badgerpelt is outside the warrior code and has indeed killed to win her battles! This has broken code 14 horribly!

## Additional:

-Badgerpelt killed her own biological brother, Kitebite, without knowing it until it was too late. This put shame and regret on her as she knew that that was her last surviving family member and that she was reliving the past that she killed her last sister in.

-If her adoptive mothers were her biological parents, Badgerpelt would be half Shadowclan, half Thunderclan. However, Badgerpelt was in fact born a kittypet/loner.

-Her godfather is Yellowflame, a Shadowclan warrior.
