Barkstripe was a male badger resident of Mossflower Woods. He was the husband of Bella of Brockhall, father of Sunflash the Mace, son-in-law of Boar the Fighter, ancestor of Rawnblade Widestripe, and a farmer. He met Bella in the southeast and they lived peacefully in Brockhall until Verdauga Greeneyes captured Kotir and began his conquest of the region.
After Boar the Fighter left Mossflower for Salamandastron, Barkstripe replaced him as leader of the woodlanders. He was killed in the first rebellion against Verdauga, along with most of the other woodlanders who were trained in fighting.
Post-Death[]
After his passing, Barkstripe appeared in visions to Sunflash along with Bella, Lord Brocktree, and Boar the Fighter; they encouraged Sunflash to journey to Salamandastron to become a Badger Lord.
