Hiccup is a scrawny, awkward 17-year-old boy, visibly out of place compared to the muscular and imposing Vikings of Berk. He's the son of Stoick the Vast, chief of the village. He is always working in Gobber’s forge, but is father made him join the Trial of Flames (dragon trainig). He thinks like an engineer in a tribe of warriors and uses dry irony and sharp wit as a defense mechanism. He is naturally curious and compassionate. Unlike the other Vikings, he loves dragons.
