XD I've been thinking about something like this for a long time now, but now there's a contest in a HTTYD group on DA for it. So might as well actually doodle up some ideas.
These are very, very literal "translations". Ideally I'll pull them back a bit so they're not so in-your-face.
The major idea at work between these two is that since the dragon element has been completely removed (Toothless is basically a prototype engine applied to a motorcycle Hiccup is building), Astrid, as "the girl", would fill in as the major element that brings Hiccup out of his shell and such.
Hence, she's a bit of a wild card. XD
Anyways, silly ideas- super rough (like these sketches) gimme a break:
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Occupation: Odd jobs (often cleaning windows or going on breakfast runs) at Gobber's body shop
Hobbies and interests: Working with vehicles, invention, internet shopping, trivia and statistics
Prospective Career: Engineer
Hangouts: Gobber's garage, Old Wrinkly's "Realm of Mystical Enlightenment"
Special Skills: Speaks at least three different languages, fixing things, cynicism.
Quirk: Vegetarian for environmental reasons
Bio: Having recently returned to the city from years of studying in a boarding school abroad, Hiccup doesn't quite fit into the neighborhood like he used to. Though his father generally suppresses his inventive genius, Hiccup has been working on potentially world-changing technology in secret; developing a super-efficient engine and testing it in a prototype motorcycle. A bit of an environmental nut, sometimes the only person Hiccup can really relate to is his grandfather, Old Wrinkly- who, while slightly eccentric (a fortune teller and "natural healer"- whatever that means-who hasn't quite mentally left the hippie commune), can make a mean vegetarian potato curry. Still, Hiccup wishes he could relate better with his former schoolmates- one girl in particular.
Astrid Hofferson
Occupation: Excellent buffet girl apprentice (no, seriously- your drinks'll be refilled before you know what hit you.)
Hobbies and interests: Flat-track rollerderby, "chilling", used to be a brilliant, determined violinist when she was younger, but is tight-lipped about that now.
Prospective Career: Undecided.
Hangouts: The Dragon's Den Buffet and Sushi, "around."
Special Skills: Rollerskating, coercion
Quirk: Takes almost everything very seriously; hardworking and determined in everything she does. Still, possesses a spontaneous, wild streak.
Bio: *still largely under development* Always a bright, determined student, almost everything came easy to Astrid. Bored with success and sick of her many admirers, she took on a bit of a rebellious streak late in high school, giving up her instrument and sacrificing many of her honors in order to give herself "space to think."
LOL I'M SO SILLY

Hahaha, I could see that. I haven't seen very much of that show. XD
Yeah, I tend to do this with every obsession of mine... Back when I was a huge Zelda fan, I did the exact same thing. XD This contest just gives me a time limit, though I would've eventually done it anyway. I've been mentally conceptualizing for months anyway. Xd

Haha you're a victim of your own antics.
Don't even say that name! I have been to Sonic exactly once. My sister needed to get her mind off being uncomfortable in the house, so we drove to the closest Sonic--from where I live, about a ninety minute drive. Not only was the food not all that great, but the window got stuck in the down position after we ordered our food. We spent the entire drive back huddled beneath pillows and a blanket in the front (bench) seat.

You don't go there for great food. XD You go there for fried stuff, American cheese (apparently they'll add it to anything for a price- which often tempts me to experiment...), and limeades/slushes.
That sounds like either a crappy night, or an epically hilarious one. I remember one night, we were trying to find this local legendary restaurant. We were starving, it was late at night, and we were epically lost. So we finally just called the place up. He told us to drive straight for like, fifteen minutes, and suddenly we were there, and the entire staff was like, standing there outside waiting for us (it's literally a hole-in-the-wall place).
Ironically, that place is so against putting cheese on its burgers that it once fired a guy for bringing it for his own burger.

I too am tempted, lol. Though not for friend food. Fried...I don't like fried food. But I do want to test this theory of yours about their willingness to slather cheese on anything. For a price.
Haha umm...a little of both I guess. It was an amazing night until well...later that night. XD
Heh, that's convenient. Brings to mind Harold and Kumar (not that you strike me as the stoner type). What is "hole-in-the-wall?" I imagine they were standing outside laughing while waiting for you guys to show up. I would have been if I was waiting with the entire staff for one car-load of people.
Really? Is it a vegan place or something?

I like all kinds of food. XD
It says right there on the menu- add american cheese (or chili, or jalepenos, or like, a lot of other gross stuff) to anything. Chili cherry cheese limeades? YUM
http://www.cozyburger.com/index.shtml
It literally is one of the last six-stool diners in America, and it's literally the size of like, a large closet. The entire staff is like, two or three people at once.
And nope. XD It's a slider shop, basically. They have tiny burgers by the bagful- and they have a sign that says ALL BURGERS HAVE ONIONS. NO CHEESE.

chili cherry cheese limeade must have /zombie
Lol, nice site. I like the cozy stories. It's too bad there aren't more small-town shops like that mucking about. I'm grateful to have a small convenience store and pizzeria within biking distance of my house. Hell, walking distance even.

Well, you don't have to drink it. You just have to see if they'll MAKE it. XD
Yeah, we're fortunate here to have a lot of these types of joints, but it's getting harder and harder for them to stay in business, what with the economy and all.
That sounds nice; a jaunt over to the pizzeria. We used to walk downtown to see movies a lot.
