A few centuries before the heroes Finn and Jake made their way to the Grasslands, the kingdom was ruled by another clan. The name of this clan was simply, The Warriors. There was at least three hundred humanoids who were a part of this group.
After a famine overcame the group a few years before this, the princess of this kingdom died, due to a lack of nutrients. So, the younger sister to her became the newest princess, and she was now addressed by the name Warrior Princess. She was originally supposed to be given the name of her sister, but they had to change it from Battle Princess to Warrior Princess to avoid confusion.
Battle Princess was a very well known and beloved part of the kingdom. When she died, the residents of the kingdom all fell into a state of depression, both mentally and economically, which put the kingdom in a bad place.
The effects of this depression were the beginning of a war between themselves and the neighboring kingdom, who knew that they could overcome the Grasslands. This neighboring kingdom was the Mountain Kingdom, who had civilians that were very narcissistic and believed that they were better than all of the other kingdoms.
Ever since her sisters death, a few weeks ago, Warrior Princess is doing everything she can to keep her struggling kingdom from being taken away by the Mountain Kingdom. This was upsetting for Warrior Princess because she had always longed for adventure, and now that she was occupied with her princess duties, she could not leave the kingdom.
She was sixteen when she was given the title of Warrior Princess, and the kingdom has not fallen out of the depression yet.
No one ever took notice of how Warrior Princess has been changing the way that things are run around the kingdom, in order to make it better, since the citizens were still mourning the death of her late sister.
However, there was one citizen who seemed to become the only one who would really ever befriend Warrior Princess. His name was Peter. Peter was a simple civilian; he was a ten year old with a fascination for adventure. Sadly, he was stuck in the Grasslands, just like Warrior Princess, since his parents still owned him.
A few more weeks after her sister's death, Warrior Princess was running some errands, for her parents, so she had to go to the local market. Sadly, she found that only a few of the markets were still open., since the depression was a very active part of the Grasslands still.
She sighed, and turned to go back home, but she was stopped by a child, in her way.
She attempted to be kind to him, so she pushed back all of her current anger and frustration, and said, calmly, "Excuse me, kind sir, you are in my way."
"Aren't you the Warrior Princess?", he asked, marveling at the sight of her.
"Uh, well, yes. I am.", she answered. She was confused as to why someone would want to talk to her.
"So, you are, like, really important, huh?", the boy asked.
"Yeah, I suppose. It really hasn't been feeling like that, though. Ever since I have been given the title of princess, a month, or so, ago, everyone seems to be treating me as if I don't exist."
"It's almost as if they don't want to acknowledge your existence."
"They must all be in denial."
The two of them looked at each other, and noticed that they both were able to deduce the situation together.
Warrior Princess thought for a moment, looking at the child. She finally said, "Hmm. I like you, kid. You should stick with me. You would make a great sidekick."
"I would enjoy that very much, miss."
She laughed at the politeness of the boy, "Oh, please, call me Warrior Princess."
They walked off, into the distance, back to the castle, from which the royal family lives.
