Eyes concentrated with traces of pomegranate juice, Black Licorice and his sister Pomegranate became shunned by their village tribe. Dark Enchantress ended up taking the two kids in to "take care" of them ((((manipulate them and turn them into her minions)))) Licorice, as a naive child, blindly trusted Dark Enchantress as well as followed whatever Pomegranate believeed.

The first time the giant war started, Licorice was appointed leader of the army by Dark Enchantress. Before the true battle even began, Black Licorice already lost the only friend he had to Fire Spirit’s magic. Even after Dark Enchantress provided Jelly Walker forces, the Dark side ended up losing to the Legendaries' might. While Pomegranate escaped punishment with Dark Enchantress' help, Licorice had one of his eyes shot out by Moonlight’s power and was banished to a realm where he would be trapped and forced to live as a human.

With his trust for Dark Enchantress shattered, he had a hard time bonding with others -- except for a human girl who helps him recover from his injuries when he first arrived. She helped him learn more about the new world he's in as he learned to trust her. However, after he revealed to her that he was originally from Earthbread, she suddenly disappeared without a trace -- leaving him entirely alone once again.

During The Time I Was Human, Black Licorice has to face the Darkness which he thought had left his life years prior. He assists the Cookies who are also trapped in the human world, protecting them from Jelly Walkers and Darkness. Eventually, he faces Pomegranate and Licorice in a climactic battle, helping everybody beat the Dark Side into retreating. While the Legendaries repaired Earthbread, Black Licorice found temporary homes in the human world for displaced Cookies while keeping a watch on Licorice's actions.

After the events of The Time I Was Human, Black Licorice is exposed to the more modern Cookies and began to change his opinions on the Cookie world which he resented so much. He still opts to stay in the human world to keep a watch over his home (and also Licorice, who is now terrified of returning to Earthbread). However, his battle and involvement with the Dark side was still far from over. (TTIWH sequel in progress)

Keep persisting. One day, you will see an end to all this.
