*Notice: If I don’t get the design of Sourtongue, I’ll re-use the backstory for a different character in my comic* Backstory: As a kid Sourtongue inherited the role of king due to his distant (emotion wise) uncle dying. His uncle (Sandviper) didn’t have any other heirs, therefore Sourtongue became king. After 35 years, Sourtongue’s mother had a daughter- Sourtongue’s half sister, Aster. After 50 (human) years of being king, Aster became of age to challenge Sourtongue for the throne. Sourtongue let his sister win so that he could step down. During all his years of being king, he never got a mate, so the kingdom was becoming paranoid over the fact that there might be no heirs to take his place after he were to die. When Aster challenged Sourtongue to the battle, pretty much the whole sand kingdom routed for her. Although the kingdom of sand routed for Aster, they still held respect for Sourtongue, as he was a great leader.
