Name: Hilga Vigfusson
Age: 16
Hair: dark red
Eyes: brown
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 164 (almost entirely muscle)
Gender: female
Species: human
Occupation: bowyer. also, harassing her younger brother Runt
Voice: Julia Stiles (Kat Stratford in "10 Things I Hate About You")
Description: Tall and built like a linebacker, Hilga is not particularly feminine in appearance. She's actually a little intimidating. She wears her long red hair in a thick braid down her back, but twists it into a bun at the back of her head when she's riding. Carries a handmade crossbow and arrows. Knee-length fur skirt and a midriff type of fur shrug thing over a mail top. She wears fur armguards and the typical fur boots. If she ever unbraided her hair, it would friz every which way.
Demeanor: In a word, nasty. She's not the nicest person in the world, and her favorite past-time is harassing her little brother Runt. She is a skilled bowyer at 16, much like their father, and works on bows, crossbows, and arrows during what little time she isn't riding her Deadly Nadder, Spike. There are a few people she gets along with okay, but they're few and far between. She's more or less seen as a bully. As she had not yet been old enough to go through dragon training when all that happened, she's a little resentful, but seeing as how she did get to train and ride her own dragon, she's let that one slide.
Abilities/Weapons: Hilga carries a handmade crossbow and arrows and she's a very good shot, both from the ground and from the back of her Nadder. Obviously, Spike is a huge asset. She's extremely good at making bows and arrows. Physically, she's very strong for a girl.
Disadvantages: Despite her size and strength, she's not that great at hand-to-hand combat. She can throw things, but gods help her if she has to whing an axe around. Her temper can get her into a lot of trouble, but that's an occupational hazard for a Viking, isn't it?
History: Born to the village's leading bowyer, Hilga was an only child for the first eight years of her life, and she enjoyed watching her father as he talked with others in the village, palled around with the blacksmith, or punched dragons. She grew up like most Viking kids: with the ultimate desire to punch dragons, a lot.
It was when she was eight and her little brother was born that things turned around. The boy was deemed Runt, and their parents had to spend a lot of time keeping him out of trouble. She was, naturally, a bit resentful. And thus began eight years of tormenting poor, scrawny Runt. She's been leaving him alone more and more often since she befriended Spike and has started riding more than just tormenting him, however.
Stuff: She doesn't really hate Runt and will protect him if someone's mean or picking on him.

Name: Spike
Age: young adult in dragon years
Hair: none
Eyes: gold
Height: tall
Weight: heavy
Gender: female
Species: Deadly Nadder
Occupation: preening, being ridden around by Hilga
Voice: sounds a bit like a dilophosaurus, a la Jurassic Park
Description: A dull shade of blue and yellow, due to being female and less vibrant than a male dragon. She's still very pretty... and believe you me, she knows it. Very toothy. Spikes on her tail. You know... the typical Deadly Nadder schtick.
Demeanor: Spike is exceptionally vain and spends a lot of time preening, much like a large, meat-eating bird. She is affectionate toward Hilga and is probably the only living thing on the village who doesn't see her as some terrifying mass of very thick, very unpleasant girl. After all, Hilga grooms her regularly. She's very much a one-human dragon, though, and isn't particularly keen on letting anyone near her.
Abilities/Weapons: Fire breathing, of course, and flight. She can fire the spines off her tail, which regrow. Extremely swift and very agile both on the ground and in the air.
Disadvantages: Blind spot right in front of her face, due to the large horn in the middle of her nose. Her wings are very fragile and, if damaged, can put her seriously out of commission.
History: Spike's history coincides with most of the other dragons of Berk. She, like the others, was forced to bend to the will of the beast in the mountain until it was killed, and after that, she settled into a nice, quiet life in the village. It was here she met Hilga. A particularly nasty mess of burrs had gotten stuck on her back between her wings where she could not reach, and it was Hilga who coaxed her down and pulled them all free. A relieved and grateful Nadder, which Hilga soon affectionately named Spike, was forever enamoured with the burly girl. The two were partnered up as dragon and rider, and the rest is - as they say - history.
Stuff: If a dragon could be called prissy? That's Spike.
