As the first adolescent of the pack, Badger has taken on a lit of responsibility. He has high expectations for himself and will not give up until he succeeds. He stays close to his alpha, Bones, to learn about taking care of every wolf and listening to their underlying needs as he hopes to one day be granted with the honor of being alpha.
Even though he strives for this, Badger has no selfish - though can come off the wrong way as he's very sarcastic - intentions. He just simply wants to prove himself.
