BACKGROUND: Sharza the Badger was abandoned as a baby after her parents were killed by a green dragon in a deep and dangerous part of the forest. She was later discovered and raised by a group of xenophobic druids who had rejected all civil society. Unfortunately, they had no real experience in raising children, and for the most part Sharza used her nascent ability to communicate with animals to raise herself in the deep forest. One day while exploring a certain part of the woods with nothing but her sling and knife, she fell upon the husk of a dead adventurer (a halfling) she found wrapped in a spiders web. Intrigued by the possibilities of life outside of the forest, she scavanged all of the usuable gear she could from the hapless warrior. Intrigued by dreams of adventure, she bid farewell to the druids, strapped on her recently refurbished scale mail and took up the small heavy flail that would become her trademark weapon.
Upon reaching town, she gained the name "The Badger" when she talked to a grumpy dire badger that had holed up in the town stable and convinced it to leave. Of course the confused badger was eager to leave, but Sharza's timely use of her ability to speakwith animals impressed the townsfolk enough to earn her the nickname.
