Well, typically female badgers living at Redwall have been in the role of Badger Mother, though I see no reason why there couldn't have been one who occupied both roles. It's not uncommon for a Redwaller to fill multiple offices, such as serving as both Gatekeeper and Recorder. More otters would definitely have been fun; it's not like there has to be a Skipper and/or Otterqueen in every book, right?
