## Physical Apearance

### Status

Alive

**Astrid Hofferson** is one of *How To Train Your Dragon* characters. She was the most promising female Viking warrior of her generation, the most beautiful girl in the island and was the most promising dragon fighter before the peace between dragons and humans. Now she is the second best dragon trainer from Berk behind Hiccup, his second in command, and girlfriend. While Astrid is not a character from the books, it is assumed by fans that she is based off of Camicazi.

## Physical Appearance

### Films

Astrid is a very beautiful young, sensual shieldmaiden with slim features that conceal her true strength. Her most notable features are her steel-blue eyes, expressive features, and her fair blonde hair. Her hair itself is always pulled out of her face and into a tight braid, with her long bangs falling into her eyes. She has got small nose, narrow lips and big ears. Her features can be considered more balanced and calm compared to the more exaggerated teens in her class. She is seen wearing tight grey leather with a spiked leather skirt, dark blue leather pants, and brown boots. She also has cloth wraps on her arms that go to her fingers.

As she grows in the films, her outfit and hairstyle also evolve from her simple foundation. Her hair is now swept to left side and has three split bangs in front of her eyes, as well as two braids, one larger and falling over her left shoulder with a brown leather hairband and a smaller one that is on the top of her head. Behind her larger braid her left ear sticks out. on her head she wears a plain light brown headband. She wears a red sleeveless tunic-like shirt with two shoulder pads with five-six pieces affixed to them as well as a leather hood w/ thick fur outlined on it. On her arms are bicep lace strings and brown fur arm wraps/cuffs from her elbow points to her knuckles, with stitching on the side and smooth wrap on the knuckles. Her gloves possibly protect her while she is in flight. She also wears a fur skirt that comes to about above her knees with armor straps, dark silver bird skulls on the belt, and spikes on the armor straps. The skirt appears to be made out of pleather and leather, and is stitched around the sides. On her right hip is a brown pouch bag. She wears blue pants/leggings with faded white streaks and small brown kneepads. Finally she wears dark moccasin boots that may be stitched together on the bottom of the fur pieces. Her height for the second film is 5'9".

### Fanfics

In The Medical Emergency, Astrid wears white doctor's coat, cyan shirt, denim pants, and dark blue flats.

In Trapped & Disappearances, she wears mint blue t-shirt, indigo pants and sapphire blue flat shoes.

## Personality

Astrid is first shown to be a dedicated shieldmaiden that is focused and determined to prove herself to others. She tends to ignore the other teenagers in order to go off on her own to either study or practice with her weapons, showing a drive to better herself. This seems to pay off as she easily takes a 'leadership' position in Viking training, not hesitating to step forward and face the challenges that Gobber throws at the teens. She is skillful and deadly in her abilities, and believes that she is the best and will be the one to kill the dragon at the end of the camp. In the show, it is strongly hinted at that part of the reason why she is so dedicated is that people seem to underestimate her by her appearance, despite the gender-equal society that Berk has established.

As she later becomes aware of Hiccup and his connection with the dragons, she shows a different side to her personality. She clearly has a short fuse when challenged, using her temper as a tool to understand exactly why she was failing compared to the 'failure' that she saw Hiccup as. However, she also showed an awareness for him and her surroundings, always being the one to take notice when he would leave the group. This suspicion paid off as she later discovered his interactions with Toothless.

Her discovery of Toothless caused her to have a conflict of character. On one hand, she was raised to believe that dragons were the enemy, and as a result felt her loyalty to the tribe required that she reveal Hiccup's secret. She was stubborn enough that both Toothless and Hiccup were forced to kidnap her in order to help her see the truth behind the dragon and rider. This results in her showing a different side, an empathetic side toward the dragons and an understanding to why they are raiding Berk. She becomes a strong support figure for Hiccup, and is quickly able to inspire him into action and support him with his decision to begin dragon training. Although she still tends to keep up her tomboy act, because whenever she shows affection, she quickly covers it up with a swift act of aggression in the form of a shoulder punch.
