Character Profiles
Name: -
Gender: Female.
Species: Night Fury.
Age: Young adult.
Wild or Trained: Wild.
Rider: -
Island of Residence: Berk.
Affiliation: -
Appearance: She has a black scaled, streamlined body, and though she is large, she is smaller than Toothless, but only slightly. She has eight ear-like appendages around her head, large green eyes, a short neck and legs, but three sets of wings (one main pair, a smaller pair on the base of her tail, and a pair on the end of her tail), the main set large in comparison.
Personality: This Night Fury is an extremely intelligent creature, as well as curious. She loves to observe new things and learn from them. She is extremely territorial, very protective of her den – which is located in Badmist Mountain. She isn't very trusting, and her emotions seem to be heightened in comparison to other dragons.
History: When she was young, just a tiny tooth, she had her first encounter with humans. They stormed her family's nest, slaughtering both of her parents and all of her siblings. She only managed to survive because she could hide in a small hole that the human's hadn't noticed in the dark. It was a struggle to her survive, not only because she was young, alone and completely inexperienced, but because she was so swallowed by grief at the loss of her family.
She became friends with another young dragon, a Typhoomerang around her own age, and his mother adopted her, hunting her and teaching her to fly. Though their flight patterns were quite different, with Typhoomerang's spin while emitting a spiral of fire, Night Furies can simply take off with a beat of their wings, she managed to learn and is a master of spirals and barrel rolls in flight.
When it came time for her to find a mate, she just couldn't find anyone. She couldn't locate a single member of her own kind, which made everyone unhappy because she spent almost all day every day on top of a mountain yowling at the top of her lungs for a male. After a week she went off the island and went on a search, but it was all in vain. She finally gave up on all hope of finding a mate and accepting that she was the last living member of her species when she caught the barest hint of a scent. A Night Fury scent.
She is currently following that scent to the village of Berk, looking for Toothless.
Extra: She is very silent and sneaky, but can actually be quite clumsy on her feet. She also has retractable teeth.
Skill: Vertical takeoffs, enhanced speed and agility, hairpin turns and plasma blasts.
Weakness: She can be a bit too curious and get too close to humans, which usually puts her in danger.

Name: Solarflare.
Gender: Female.
Species: Typhoomerang.
Age: Young adult.
Wild or Trained: Trained.
Rider: Many riders, trained by Briar.
Island of Residence: Berk.
Affiliation: Berk.
Appearance:
Personality: Though naturally stubborn and independent, Solarflare is a kind and caring dragon that is happy to help others. She will quickly defend Berk from attacks and will save anyone in peril. She gets along quite well with other dragons, though if she doesn't think they are respectful to others she will become quite aggressive towards them and refuse to help them. She can be quite judgmental and bases her opinion of people greatly on first impressions.
History: She was laid on Eel Island, in a rare clutch of only a single egg, and unfortunately her mother was poisoned with Oleander flowers by a Viking, and died just before Solarflare hatched. Briar visited the island a few days later, searching for bloodbane eels to add to the medicine for Berk's latest epidemic of flu. She happened across the tiny, starving Typhoomerang huddled by her mother's remains and took her back with her - which, Briar later joked, was perfect because she hated eating her eels and Solarflare loved them.
Briar raised Solarflare and trained her to become a form of transportation for others - not just for Vikings with no dragons who wanted to get somewhere fast, but to collect things and to help rescue Vikings and injured dragons, etc. At first the Vikings were quite fearful of the large dragon being around constantly, but eventually almost everyone grew fond of her because of her kind and caring nature, and for the fabulous fire displays she puts on at the Bork Week dragon air parade. She mostly stays out of the way, near the beach and in the water catching eels, waiting for requests.
Extra: She secretly wants a rider of her own, though she does enjoy being needed by the village.
Skills: She can easily carry heavy weights both on her back and from her talons, can fly quite quickly and is great with remembering locations, and how to get from one place to another. She is also a great swimmer.
Weaknesses: She can't pull up easily or glide from a steep dive.

Name: Briar Haddock.
Gender: Female.
Age: Sixteen (same age as the gang).
Dragon: Spitfire.
Island of Residence: Berk.
Affiliation: Berk.
Occupation: Dragon Trainer/Rider.
Appearance (eyes, hair, build, etc.): Briar is a tall, skinny girl, with average curves and long legs, with a face that most girls envy. She has medium dark hair (like Hiccup's) to her hips in thick braids (like Ruffnut's) and wide green eyes (like Hiccup's). She has a lot of small sounds, scars, burns and mud on her skin, and her clothes are almost always singed and little tattered.
Personality: Briar is intelligent, determined, and charming. But because she spends most of her time away from people, she is just known as 'the crazy girl that lives in the woods'. She is extremely resourceful and can live practically anywhere with sheer determination and a will to survive.
History: When she was younger, Briar went into the woods to vent her anger at her parents for not getting her a new sword. She planned to stay overnight, even bringing fish, bread and cheese with her. She ventured a lot deeper into the trees than she thought, and was soon lost. On the second day, she almost fell onto a Monstrous Nightmare that was hidden in some foliage. It was injured, it's wing broken, and its fire spent. Though she was raised to hate the beast, she couldn't stand to see the poor beast weak and starving, so she fed it her fish when it stopped trying to eat her instead. The two instantly formed what Briar later called a Trustbond.
The pair spent a month building their Trustbond. Briar made the dragon a rather genius splint that would allow her wing to heal and let her walk, though flying was out of the question. They hunted with each other's help; the dragon snatched fish from water and Briar hunted down bigger game like boars for the dragon. Their bond grew so strong that Briar gave her a name; Spitfire. The two became extremely close, and though Spitfire wouldn't have objected to it, Briar never rode her. She didn't see her dragon as a beast of burden or a ride, but as a best friend.
After Hiccup helped the Vikings of Berk understand that dragons could co-exist with them, she came back with Spitfire, and they half-joined society. Briar now has a large property a few minute's flight away from Berk, where she takes in sick and injured dragons and trains them. She also professionally trains dragons for others and teaches them a different way to train, which is more gradual and with a strong Trustbond. She doesn't try to out-train anyone at the Academy, she just feels that her way is the way that she should train them. She also trains dragons for competitions and shows, like how to do perfectly loops, maneuver around poles and pick up small, fragile items mid-flight without breaking them, etc. She even makes some money off of it, but she doesn't charge much, just enough for her to pay for her things and for some food, but she has some farm animals too.
Extra: She doesn't usually hang out with people, but does help the Academy when there is a dangerous dragon threatening Berk.
Interest(s): Dragons.
Skill(s): Training dragons.
Weakness(es): Being around civilized people.
Name: Spitfire
Gender: Female.
Species: Monstrous Nightmare.
Age: Young adult.
Wild or Trained: Trained.
Rider: Briar Haddock.
Island of Residence: Berk.
Affiliation: Berk.
Appearance: She has the usual golden yellow eyes and black pupils, but her scales are a gorgeous green that help her blend in with vegetation. She is 50 feet long with a 60 foot wingspan, and weighs around 5,000 pounds.
Personality: Spitfire is very intelligent for her species. She understands almost every single thing that is said around and to her, and can do anything she is instructed to. She learns very quickly, and enjoys doing so. She is also stubborn, and hotheaded, but her most obvious trait is that she is extremely overprotective. She will attack anyone or anything she sees as a threat to her rider or anyone she cares about.
History: She was the fourth hatched from a brood of four eggs to a pair of first time parents. Though they weren't the most experienced, they were extremely caring parents, and so Spitfire knew the value of family as soon as she hatched. When her wing was injured, rending her unable to walk and fly, she was rescued and trained by Briar, creating a bond between the pair that holds to this day. She completely trusts her rider, but after seeing the Academy, is a bit confused as to why she isn't ridden often.
Extra: N/A
Skill(s): She can follow instructions easily, she's an excellent flyer, swimmer and hunter.
Weakness(es): Her right wing is slightly sensitive where it was previously broken.

Name: Asteria
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Good or Bad?: Good
Appearance: Asteria is about 5'2, a bit shorter than others her age. She has light brown hair with a few bangs covering her right eye and light green eyes. Lastly, she has a scar that runs across her right eye which is luckily being covered by her bangs. Asteria wears a light blue shirt and light brown pants. She doesn't wear any foot wear because for an odd reason, she doesn't like the feeling of them. She wears a belt around her waist that holds her dagger. For another odd reason, she has a bright orange bracelet that is worn around her left ankle.
Personality: Asteria is a friendly, caring, adventurous, and curious girl. She seems to like the company of dragons more than the company of humans. She is also loyal and will do anything for her friends. In any situation, she would always try to see the best of things.
Bio: Asteria lived in an unknown island with her mom and dad. She never got to really spend time with her parents since they were always away, trading with neighboring islands. For about 11 years, she spent living alone with no one to take care of her. While her parents were away, she learned how to take care of herself and do chores around her house. She also learned how to fight and defend for herself. When Asteria was 11, she was surprised to see that her parents came back from their trip. When Asteria went to go greet them, they asked her if she would like to come with them on one of their trips and she gladly accepted. On their trip, they went to a village that was invested with dragons, this made Asteria excited when she heard this and couldn't wait to land on the island. Once they landed Asteria ventured out through the island. She met a Stormcutter in the forest and they soon became friends. Her parents didn't like the idea of their daughter befriending a dragon, so they planned on killing it. Sadly for them, Asteria heard this and decided to run away with her dragon. Asteria now travels around with her dragon finding a place where she can permanently live in.
Other: Asteria is blind but she could still see figures of people and animals, she can hear things most people can't, and she is not used to being around humans.

Has two black spines branching out the top of his head like all Stormcutter's. Like all Stormcutter's he has a hidden set of wings, top pair a grey black colour and the bottom pair is a light grey colour.
Personality: Loyal, thrill-seeker, curious, very intelligent, friendly, playful yet serious. He knows things others might not.
History: Dusk was a young Stormcutter when he got forced out of his group because of his size and colour pattern which is usually brown/grey. Over the years he grew in size and now he is just bigger than a house (viking house). He started to steal livestock from Berk. Nobody knew what species of dragon this thief was so they just nicknamed him "The Duskriser" because he attacked the village every few days at dusk from a low cluster of clouds. Soon after Asteria found him, the Stormcutter was tamed by her.

Name: Nyx Oriana
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Lesbian
Appearance: Nyx is about 5'4 and has a skinny body. She has long, light brown hair that reaches up to her shoulders with a few side bangs. Her eyes are dark green. She can be seen wearing a black tunic, brown leather pants, and brown boots. Around her head, she wears a band that has a feather on the side of it. Lastly, she wears a necklace that has a crescent on the end of it.
Personality: Nyx can be known for her kind and friendly personality. She is quite childish, which helps her in making friends with small children. Though she can be quite serious at times when it comes to helping others. At times, Nyx can be a bit quite and will often avoid being around others. Nyx is not that good at making friends, but tries to act normal when talking to a new person.
Likes: Nyx enjoys playing around with little kids, drawing, being with her friends, helping anyone out, moving around, and finding out new things about dragons.
Dislikes: She doesn't enjoy fighting/violence, being reminded of her past, staying in one spot, loud noises, feeling helpless or alone and being disturbed when she is doing something important
History: Nyx was born and raised on an island that she, by now, has forgotten the name of. Her dad was the blacksmith of the village and her mother was a healer. As a young girl, she seemed different compared to the others kids. She hated any sort of violence, always ran away from the others, and would be in her home most of the time. Her mother became concerned about this and told Nyx to start making friends. Nyx hated the idea and refused to talk to the other kids. So, her mom decided to teach Nyx a few things about being a healer. Such as, how to deal with a sickness, which items were for which injury, and many more. By age 13, Nyx worked as an assistant for her mother.
One night, while Nyx was getting some herbs for her mother, she heard the sound of yelling. Quickly, she made her way back to her village to find that they were being raided by one of the nearby islands who wanted to expand their land. Terrified, she ran her way through the village in search of her parents. Finally, she found them on the dock, loading a few things onto a small boat. When Nyx asked what they were doing, they didn't answer. Her mom lead her to the entrance of the boat with something in her hand and sat her down on one of the beds. Nyx's mom gave her daughter a feather and told her 'Goodbye' before she left the ship. After moments of thinking Nyx soon realized what was happening and ran towards the end of the boat. But it was too late, the boat had already sailed away from the dock. The last thing that Nyx saw was her parents being taken away by two men. After a while, she walked over to the only other person on the ship and asked where they were heading to. The man answered with a simple word. "Berk".
Viking Occupation: Nyx is a healer for people and (soon) dragons.
Other Information: Even though she hates violence, she keeps a small dagger in her left sleeve to defend herself.

Rider's Name: Amundi Firestarter
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Appearance (you may include a picture if you want, but the written portion is still required): Amundi is short around five and a half feet tall. He is slightly muscled. His brown hair is cropped short. His skin is almost exactly the color of a Nadder's underbelly. He has a round brithmark on his right shoulder almost in the shape of a claw. He has one scar coming lut from the edge of his right eyebrow down the length of his cheekbone. Amundi's eyes are so brown that they appear almost as black as the midnight sky. You will usually see him wearing a brown tunic and breeches. He is dominantly right handed. He carries a long sword and a dagger everywhere he goes.
Personality: Amundi is an easygoing person. He will stop and talk to various people among the village of Berk. Many he knows, others he has no clue who they are. Amundi also happens to be very thoughtful. He will sit in his room and think up an answer to a problem he himself is having r someone else might be having. This young fifteen year old can get excited easily especially when he sees dragons flying through the sky at night. When in battle, Amundi is an asset but also someone that gets in the ey of the other Viking warriors. He longs for the day when he may finally join the Riders he has seen up in he air.
Backstory: Amundi was born to two warriors. They met on the eve of a battle and fell in love. The next day, they both went fighting and somehow they both survived. Together they made a home for themselves and nine months later, Amundi was born.
At first, it was not entirely clear whether or not Amundi would become a warrior. He messed up even the simplest things like trapping. His father was extremely patient with him though. And his mother taught him how to cook everything she could think of. One day while he was out checking the traps, he must have hit something because e next thing he knew, there was blood falling into his eye and he was bleeding along the right side of his face.
He returned home and his more fussed all over him. From then on he was more careful with the traps. He even seemed more skilled with all other forms of fighting. It was as if he needed to be hit in the face for him to realize it.
Ever since dragons were accepted into Berk, he has watched his friends become Riders and he longs to join them.
Other: He wishes for a relationship eventually...
