## History

### Background

Born to an unnamed couple of LakeClanners, Badgerkit, Smokekit, and Dark-kit were born at the coming dusk of Lakestar’s reign. Badgerkit was close to both his sisters, his father, though His mother had run off, away from the clans. Of course their father had to follow his true love. Leaving Badgerkit, Smokekit, and Dark-kit to the care of the only other queen, she’d recently lost her litter to the former leaf-bare. Viperslip. A fitting name for such a venomous she-cat, Viperslip was strict and always kept the kits on their paws. Viperslip kept them to their regular days, to her accord that is. She’d beat them if they’d disobey a word, or did something wrong for that matter. Badgerfrost never exactly knew why she’d been that way. Even stopping his comforting actions towards Smokekit, who was having a hard time mentally at that state, and not allowing him to meet the other kits in the nursery, via Ashenkit. The only cat Viperslip was interested in was Dark-kit, in which, Badgerkit understood her longing for a mother’s love and acceptance. Badgerkit knew that Viperslip wasn’t the right cat to follow. Smokekit did as well, but Dark-kit followed every demand, even warning her siblings about the rules without a care. Smokekit began to worry, and Badgerkit knew they needed to listen.... for now.

At the age of an apprentice, Badgerkit, Smokekit, and Darkkit had been assigned as warrior apprentices, Viperslip demanded to mentor Dark-kit, or at least co-mentor her. Though Lakestar made her the kitten’s mentor anyway. During these times, Badgerpaw and Smokepaw had freedom while Darkpaw was off with Viperslip all day and night. He started to befriend Ashenpaw, which led to a close relationship as bffs. The Tom would understand Badgerfrost, as he never had siblings, they were like brothers at heart. Soon enough, Darkpaw had returned one morning, scarred, she seemed angered, after the border skirmish, Badgerpaw had asked why, surprised to hear she didn’t do good enough, he had asked more before she ended up calling him weak, pathetic, and nothing of use to her. Before long, he knew for a fact, she changed. Smokepaw had been..... hesitant to the info, pleading Badgerpaw to be careful, as he introduced Ashenpaw. Surprisingly, the two got along quickly.

At some point during his apprenticeship, Badgerpaw found himself in a claw to claw combat with Darkpaw, the she-cat clearly edging for his blood, it resulted in apprentice duties for moons, though for certain, it wasn’t the first time. That new leaf, it was obvious things were changing, everyone was getting older, Ashenpaw and Smokepaw were practically mates already, their crushes shown like the wildflowers of the warm season when the waters reach the best temperatures for a nice warm swipe up-river. Darkpaw was becoming more bitter and dark, Viperslip stray on the prowl. Badgerpaw had found an emptiness through his pride. Though, he did meet Mistypaw, who was very sweet, he did end up having a crush on her ahead of time after they trained a bunch with each other, though she see more eager helping her sister Mosspaw in the medicine cats den. So he laid off, his crush never left, it was just buried under everything, set aside.

At his warrior ceremony with Lakestar edging his fall. Badgerpaw was renamed Badgerfrost, with his generation being Smokebelly, Ashenstone, and Darkcloud. He couldn’t see anything wrong being warriors, just as they dreamed. Though, Darkcloud seemed to want more. Which led to an argument, and blood spilled. Badgerfrost returned, he knew he needed to keep Smokebelly safe. So he told Ashenstone, the toms keeping the she-cat out of harm. Soon enough, Smokebelly resulted to be expecting kits, and things started to look better. After Rainsong was appointed the new deputy, and then leader not too long after. Once Rainstar’s first deputy had been killed in battle, Badgerfrost was appointed the new deputy, he never knew why exactly. The Tom never felt so heavy at first, he felt pride, satisfaction, and a little nervous. Though, wile all celebrated, Darkcloud was furious, Viperslip had merely killed her if Badgerfrost hadn’t found where they trained at night, moons later Viperslip was found dead at the border. Obvious to him it was his sister, he consulted her one night about it. How wrong it was. Though it seemed she didn’t hear him, she promised a good future in a threat, speaking of Smokebelly’s kittens, then came with a battle between the two, as Ashenstone stepped in, Darkcloud was punished, though Badgerfrost did not give in to the herb longing and pain, he stayed at his sister’s side since. During a gathering, he felt quickly nerved, wanting to get it over, little did he know Ashenstone wasn’t enough..... they returned from the gathering to find three healthy kittens..... and Ashenstone found dead with the scent of fox around him, first, Badgerfrost lashed out at Darkcloud, though it turned out to be a real fox charging the camp, chased off by the warriors, though he knew Darkcloud struck back. He hated her more. For what she became.

The kittens were named Raggedkit, Bloomkit, and Seedkit. Named with Ashenstone when he was living. Badgerfrost promised to care for the kits as if he was their father, he wouldn’t let them get hurt. Though, after a harsh leaf-bare, Seedkit died to a kitten cough, being the weakest of the litter, Badgerfrost grieved, though it seemed Smokebelly was hurt more than Badgerfrost knew. Getting sick as well, worrying made her sickness worsen, killing her rather quickly, Badgerfrost was left to grieve, not letting Darkcloud near the kits, he slept with them for many moons before he took Raggedkit as an apprentice, Darkcloud was silent the whole time by then. Though he keeps her regulated to camp, and watches Lilypaw.

During his training with Raggedpaw, Badgerfrost had encountered a kitten astray of the small tides on one of the gravel shores, checking to see if the kitten was living, the Kittypet had lashed out of fear, scarring his nose with a nasty scratch, the problem was resolved when he took her back to camp to be cared for, when asking her name, she never answered, as he renamed her Beaverkit after her powerful bite, the Tom was a semi-active father to her, as he was still caring for his nephew and niece.

### Roleplay

As he feels his sister is brewing some bad plan, Yasbelle joins the clan, and as he doesn’t like the idea of welcoming a rogue into the clan, he respects Rainstar’s decision and gives her chances to prove herself to him. Yet Raggedpaw, his apprentice and Nephew lets his ambition and opinion on the notion out and gets on Rainstar’s bad side, as he takes Raggedpaw for fighting training, resulting in both forgetting the rules and going all out on each other, Raggedpaw hit the most.

When the foxes are driven and Raggedpaw returns, Badgerfrost finds Darkcloud gently proving her point and acting so innocent about Yasbelle’s truth, as he might agree, he knows she would Rainstar or Yasbelle to shreds, as she is toxic and much like Raggedpaw. As he Ignores Yasbelle and asks about the foxes.

To his annoyance when the badger alarm gets to him he takes a patrol with Tigerstripe and Hollyflight to drive it out as Wolfy and Redfrost were taken back to camp. He’d finished the badger with a blow over a wound, though he knew he needed to do something about the wild animals, as that was the third one in the last moon, knowing he needed to watch every cat that went out of camp from then on. He sees Hollyflight with Mistydapple and tells her she has kittens to attend to, as Hollyflihht volenteers to go hunting, he denies as for her and Mistydapple’s safety. Though seeing Mistydapple turning back, he tries to reassure her, saying the clan needs more willing cats like her.

At the gathering, Badgerfrost is mostly silent, though the message from the stars impacted all the cats around, though he felt more relief to hear none of his nephew or niece would be leaving in a mission where 1/8 cats wouldn’t return. The Tom clearly worries for his nephew and niece, as, after the gathering, he finds himself proud when Raggedpaw becomes a warrior, Raggedfur, seeing his mother in him. Badgerfrost feels warm as Beaverkit became an apprentice as well, noticing how fact time flies. Not long before he meets Darkcloud’s gaze, she seemed awfully suspicious, as always. Though, moments after, Swandive and Petuniaheart return with Bloompaw, who was injured, and her legs were torn. Badgerfrost reacts very largely of this, running to her side, he checked if she was alive, any trace of life, and she was living.... examining her legs, he seemed sick, then in a small panic, he then drags her into the medicine cats den for Mossfeather, Raggedfur has a raged tantrum and lashes out at Badgerfrost uncontrollably trying to knock the deputy over, Badgerfrost smacks the tomcat, ordering him to step down. Blocking the entrance to the medicine cats den, Badgerfrost begs StarClan for mercy, and if Bloompaw was to die.... he would fail Smokebelly.
