Stormfly (DreamWorks)

Stormfly is a major character in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise. She is Astrid's sidekick and best friend.
==Appearance==
Stomfly is a Deadly Nadder dragon, being mostly blue with a white underbelly. She has long horns on her frill, a curved spike on her nose, sharp teeth sticking out of her mouth, and long wings, with a yellow underside and one hook on each wing. Stormfly's tail spines are mostly blue with yellow tips on them, and she also has yellow eyes. She also has big feet which are blue with short toes and long talons.
==Personality==
Stormfly is brave, noble, and kind-hearted. Despite being a deadly dragon due to her abilities, she is reluctant to kill, and is very protective of her rider and best friend, Astrid. She is also willing to put herself in harm's way to save others, as she protected Garff from the Slitherwings, and did the same to Eret from Drago Bludivst and his men later on. In Dragons: Race to the Edge, it's shown that Stormfly loves to splash her feet in the water, as shown near the beginning of the Season 5 episode Snuffnut, despite being a dragon that breathes fire. However, she doesn't like it when someone touches her on her "blind spot".
==History==
===How to Train Your Dragon===
Stormfly was one of the dragons who was stealing the flock from the Vikings and feeding them to the Red Death out of fear. She was then captured by Vikings and taken to Viking training where vikings are trained to kill dragons.
After Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (one of the franchise's two main protagonists, alongside Toothless) and Snotlout Jorgenson train Hookfang, Astrid takes Stormfly as her dragon. They help Hiccup and Toothless fight off the Red Death, with Toothless later killing off the Red Death, but with the loss of Hiccup's left leg. Eventually, vikings and dragons are able to coexist in peace in Berk.
===How to Train Your Dragon 2===
Stormfly reappears in this film, and first appears when she wins the Dragon Races with Astrid. Later on she plays with Toothless while Hiccip and Astrid talk. Later on, Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, and Stormfly find Eret's fortress where dragons are trapped, which has been severely damaged by Valka's Bewilderbeast. Eret and his trappers try to capture them, but fail.
Astrid then does acrobatics with Stormfly, and the latter grabs Eret in her talons. Astrid tells her tricks such as "drop" and "fetch". Eventually, Stormfly protects Eret from Drago Bludvist's henchmen, whom he orders to kill Eret. However, she is tranquilized and captured. Eret later frees her because she protected him from Drago's henchmen. However, she and the other dragons are forced under Drago's Bewilderbeast's control after the massive dragons murders Valka's Bewilderbeast.
However, later on in the movie, Toothless is freed from the Bewilderbeast's control by Hiccup, and they fight against the Bewilderbeast, but are seemingly killed. However, it is revealed Toothless protected Hiccup, and Toothless goes and fights Drago's Bewilderbeast himself. As this goes on, Stormfly and the other dragons are freed from the Bewilderbeast's control, and start fighting with Toothless until Drago and his Bewilderbeast are forced to retreat. 
Stormfly then reunites with Astrid, and after Hiccup is made the new Chief of Berk after Stoick's death, she and Astrid got 2nd place while Toothless and Hiccup got 1st place in the Dragon Races.
===How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World===
In the third film, Stormfly begins by participating in a Dragon Trapper ship raid, alongside Astrid, the other riders and their dragons. She aids Astrid in the fighting, then carries her away once the rescue is complete. During the exodus of Berk, Astrid rides Stormfly a great distance alongside all the other Berkians and their dragons, until they reach the far-off island that later becomes New Berk. The Nadder is seen engaged in various activities on the island, chiefly helping Astrid to set up camp and unpack. 
Stormfly is the dragon who takes Astrid and Hiccup to see the Hidden World: the ancestral home of the dragons. When tracking Toothless, Stormfly follows his scent to the Caldera. Although Astrid and Hiccup are amazed and uncertain, Stormfly plunges straight into the entrance and then emerges through a network of caves and tunnels, in the glowing mushroom forest where her scales glow, to the Astrid and Hiccup's awe, with bioluminescence. She flies the pair to King Island, where they quietly watch Toothless and the Light Fury being presented before the assembled dragons. Unfortunately, the scene is interrupted as a wild Rumblehorn notices the Vikings invading the dragon world and attacks them, causing Stormfly to swoop in and pick Astrid up, whilst Toothless does the same for Hiccup. She then carries Astrid away, back to New Berk.
Stormfly and the other dragons of Berk quickly come to the aid of their Alpha when Grimmel captures him, but are ordered to stand down from violence when the hunter threatens the life of the Light Fury. Stormfly and the others are briefly captured, but quickly break out and fight back once Toothless orders them to. Astrid summons her during the battle to fly Hiccup up to where Toothless is bound and captured before rejoining the fight. When Hiccup makes the decision to let the dragons go to the Hidden World, Astrid gives a sorrowful look to Stormfly before stroking her chin and removing her saddle before exchanging one last heartbroken goodbye with "[her] good girl". After exchanging this goodbye, Stormfly and the others fly off for the Hidden World.
Ten years later, Stormfly reunites with Astrid when she and her family visit the Hidden World, shown to have remembered her rider and being utterly delighted to see her again. She flies about the sky with Astrid and Zephyr on her back, engaging in a playful race with Toothless as his mate and offspring fly around them.
