We seem to be very similar in mentalities. To compensate for the trauma that affected me both me and my sona are very dominant sexually.

great minds etc etc

i think incorporating stuff like one's history and its effects makes for more well-rounded and realistic sonas. it'll also give you more insight into yourself as a person than just focusing on the positives or ideals. have a high-five for tackling what's still regarded as a pretty taboo topic
 
Firuthi Dragovic

Firuthi Dragovic

World Serpent, overly defensive
For my main 'sona, Firuthi, I've got two. First, an attempt to solve his loneliness and despair led to him getting possessed by a demon for a brief time. Second, he has little recollection of any events that happen if he goes into his 80-foot 'war form'.

I'm going to go so far as to cover one sad fact for three of my OCs as well:
-Aifric (a moth) has a massive inferiority complex. Most beings in his setting that have magic powers get them naturally. He was specifically chosen as a host for his powers by a resistance movement that was trying to end a lockdown.
-Dural (a wallaby) has an abject fear of elevators. Long story short, when trying to use one to investigate a villain's lair, the villain unveiled a power that shut down almost all technology within the lair's radius, including both the elevator and Dural's mechsuit. He wound up trapped in the suit and could have suffocated if his allies hadn't put a permanent end to the villain.
-Tyrim (a robot aardvark) has... well, how do I put this one tactfully... thanks to being overprogrammed for combat (right down to a level where altering functions would probably destroy his identity and functionality outright), his only concept of love and compassion is a sort of physical defense of others. So when his first task after a war was to help a victim recover from the abuse she suffered, Tyrim only managed to make things worse.

Deathless

ĎĴĔVĔĹĔŃ
For my main fursona, Deathless, her best friend was taken away from her by someone who was jealous of her and she hasn't seen her since she was a young teenager (now being 18). She had moved on but sometimes she catches herself thinking about her best friend and where she could be or if she's even alive. After her disappearing, she had changed her personality and had become more protective with her current friends and will fight to make them safe because she doesn't want anything happening again.

They don't get to play in the dirt or commune with nature as much as they would like because they live in the city.

Don't worry, though. Their grandfather leaves them a farm and they will come into their purpose soon enough-

So I’m working on a new sona. (with a bit of help from the op.) I’ve always taken bits of my own life and personality and mixed them with my characters both so I can relate to that character and as a way to express myself. So at the risk of getting a bit personal here, the saddest part of his backstory is also the most recent. He is having to accept the fact that his wife and kids are now living in another mans home. A man who very well may be a better man than him in many ways. My sona is, by all accounts, a good father. Even the woman who left him tells him that. But apparently he couldn’t be a good husband, and now the most important thing in his life (his family) is, well not gone, but not exactly his anymore, either. Oh btw, not looking for a pity party. I’m not the only person who has had to go through this.

Thank you so much for sharing this, always remember no man is better than another. Never undervalue yourself.

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind. So when I made Anzelm all those years ago I gave him a lot of qualities that I aspired to have at the time, and put him in a similar situation as the one I was living through. It helped in a lot of ways, and I think I ultimately ended up adapting some of those qualities into my own personality. Some of what makes me a good father might have come from him. I’m trying a similar thing out with Dymek. And I’m sure he would agree with your philosophy there.

I sincerely never thought about giving my Fursona a backstory before but I do think a lot of the people posting here have genuinely tragic elements for theirs. (I tend to draw for fun and to relieve stress I hope that does not come off as shallow.)

I wouldn’t say it’s shallow, not every character needs a back story. As far as the tragic elements go, it’s common for characters in any genre.
 
Le Chat Nécro

Le Chat Nécro

most thugged-out dope hoe
Edelweiss was a weird kid and as such had no friends. Until Emir came along. He was the sun to her moon, the light in her darkness, the bright smile to her grim frown. In childhood they were best friends. In high school they became lovers. She loved him more than anything and planned on spending the rest of her life in his world.

Then in college, he died.

Thrown into a deep depression, she refused to let go. Fueled by grief she raised his body from the dead to become her zombie companion. She believes he speaks to her still, though no one really knows if it's him or just her memories warped into sentience by her insanity.

It's a totally healthy way to cope, for sure.
 
Lithooves

Lithooves

Professional Party Animal
Lithooves lives in constant fear of being forgotten. Being a spirit/demigod of parties and celebrations is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, he's present in parties of all kinds and sizes, which is a never-ending lifetime of fun. On the other hand, the world is a cruel place, and is quickly running out of things to celebrate. War, crime and hatred between humans has left him with a scar that he'll remember forever. He lives off of celebrations of all cultures and people. He loves mortals and loves to see them accomplish great things, but he depends on them. If they stop having celebrations and parties, which would leave him forgotten, then he'll literally have nothing to live for. He's the spirit of one thing, and one thing only, and that's parties. The more hatred that spreads, the more his youth and happiness fades.

He thinks the world of mortals, even though they're tearing his own world apart.
