I know we don't know toothless's origin but I took the liberty of making one and it is sad:
Years ago the Night Furies were a most deadliest and intelligent of all the dragons however in their pack was the Royal Fury a Night Fury that could literally harness lightning itself more dangerous than a Skrill's lightning, the Royal Fury had a litter of Ospring especially the runt of the pack a hiccup if you'd say, one day the Night Fury's Island was invaded by dragon hunters alongside a fleet of crazied Death Grippers and thislead to an all out battle, the Royal Fury fought them all of valiantly but all the Furies were killed except for the runt so he ordered his son to runaway as he would hold them, when the runt escaped the Royal Fury stared down against four Death Grippers and a cloaked man with a French accent.
When the runt got far away from the island it saw a humungus explosion of lightning occur and realised that everyone he knew was gone, years later he reached Dragon Island and encountered an angry Whispering Death who tried to attack him but the Fury gnashed his teeth so hard at him it scared the Whispering Death, however both dragons were right infront of a cave entrance of a the Red Death who scared of the Whispering Death but saw what the Fury could do so he mind controlled him to help his dragons collect food for him, the Furies job was to take out any catapult towers and other things that could pose threat to the flock.
However on one raid the Fury was shot down and tied up causing him to crash into the cove but also crash through the forest and ripping of his tail finn rendering him incapable of flight.

Ik that im probably gonna get intense backlash for this, but its MY opinion. I really think that Kitty Softpaws should have atleast been in honourable mentions. She was a stray cat living in the cold streets, a couple came and took her in, she genuinely felt safe and thought she could trust them, only to be backstabbed. Kitty was declawed by her owners. If you dont know what declawed means, heres a small defintition. Torture, pain and its just horrific. Its like cutting of a humans finger up to the knuckle. After that she was abandoned by them and she ran away. After all that she meets Puss, thinks she can trust him, they get close, only for him to leave her alone at the alter. ( ik this video was posted before the last wish was out but still) so yeah. I think Kitty shouldve gotten honorable mentions.

I think Nintendo also gave birth to some characters with tragic backstories.
For instance, The Dark Curse from Miitopia. After rescuing the Great Sage by defeating the Darkest Lord, he explains his troubled past.
A long long time ago, the Dark Curse was just a normal human. He was very sad and lonely. He wondered why everyone ignored him and just wanted someone to notice him. Eventually, a look in the mirror made him realize that his face looked to bland. He resented his own face so much, he casted it away. Unfortunately, this literal lack of face made him unable to exist. Before long, he had disappeared. This left behind a soul full of hatred, malice, and envy, eventually turning him into the Dark Curse. All he wanted was recognition and a better face.

Drago Bludvist should have gotten a spot or at least an honourable mention.
Him seeing his whole village and family getting slaughtered by dragons plus getting his arm ripped off by a dragon while he was just a child combined with implications of having PTSD and him being forced to grow up fast and no positive role model turning him into the person we see him as in HTTYD2 is pretty sad. People say Hiccup's backstory is sad but Hiccup at least eventually gets a happy ending and still has loved ones. Drago? He has nobody, the only ones who loved him are all dead. He's Hiccup if his life was way worse and there's no happy ending for him.

You know both Puss and Kitty have sad backstories as well. Puss was a hero after doing something noble, but then his brother betrayed him and made Puss lose everything all because Humpty couldn't be happy for him. As for Kitty Softpaws, she was a stray who longed for a family and a home to call her own, and for whatever reason, the family who took her in got declawed, and she grew to distrust everybody she met. And it only gets a bit sadder for these two in the new movie, which I highly recommend to anyone interested in watching.

If Fiona spent over 20 years in the tower, her mental health is surprisingly well for such a long period of complete isolation and no social interaction except for the dragon. This makes me wonder, were Fiona and the dragon friends during her time in the tower? Did the dragon bring her food? But she was still waiting for a knight to kill the dragon? After the dragon joins the Shrek team, Fiona gets along with her quite well so they were probably friends before, but at the same time the dragon must have been like a prison guard for her.

I find their stories sad, but there are other characters with sad backstories as well. Bunnymund for example. He's the last Pooka survivor that Pitch caused I remember something when he held Sophie, he has a expression that he missed someone that he cared for. I don't know who. But I do find Bunny's story sad as well. But he keeps going strong to inspire other kids and give them hope.

How did Moses NOT get number 1! Literally an infant put in a floating basket because someone who he had never met decided he shouldn't live. Never to see his mother again. And that's not the worst of it. He wasn't a newborn. He was three months old when she put him in that basket. For the first three months of his life he was hidden in the house, probably under the floor.

Branch from Trolls should have gotten an honorable mention. He used to be very happy and sung all the time. That is until his grandma got taken by Chef and eventually eaten by a Bergan. She died trying to save his life, so he thinks that he is the reason that she died. Thats how he became very depressed. Its a very sad backstory.

You shouldve include Shark Tale, when Oscars dad was a little tongue scrubber at the Whale Wash, and he wanted to be like him, but people was making fun of his dad working at the Whale Wash. And Oscar wanted to be a somebody, but he was a nobody.

When you grow up a snake, nobody shows up to your party. Birthdays are a constant reminder that out there, Im just a scary. good for nothing _M O N S T E R! _
that line should have been enough to give The Bad Guys a spot on this list

At the same time our favorite lion would or should have never become chief of the lions anyways since his mane and other features are too light and it is only dark featured lions in the wild who manage to become pack leaders. realism

It's incredibly heartbreaking learning about Po's backstory, the look of distraught on his mother as she bids him goodbye and leaves him always brings me to tears because she knows that even if she is killed, her son will be okay.

Prof. Poopypants could just get his name legaly changed. You'd think he would have done that as soon as he turned 18 and had the legal right to do so. He didn't, so he really doesn't have any room to complain

I think Kitty Softpaws has the most tragic backstory, she got declawed by the people who took her in when she was younger and she never understood why (i. e. they cut off fingers and toes without her consent.

Branch from Trolls deserved to be on this list. His grandma got eaten in front of him and for 20 years he blamed himself. Not to mention I'm sure he has some serious PTSD and depression
