Nellie Bly

Badger

Relentless investigator who never stopped fighting for the story.

Nellie Bly was a pioneering journalist famous for her fearless, tenacious pursuit of truth — feigning insanity to expose conditions inside a New York asylum, and circumnavigating the globe in 72 days to beat Phileas Fogg's fictional record. She refused to be dismissed or silenced in a male-dominated field, embodying the badger's stubborn, never-quit drive to fight for causes others would abandon. Her entire career was defined by relentless advocacy and a refusal to back down in the face of opposition or danger.
