Curious Rune.
AGE: 20
ORIGIN: She was born in Berk, but both her father's grandparents are outsiders. It took them about ten years to be considered part of the tribe. Part of the reason for this is because they were once dragon trappers and even stolen a few from Berk. They were given a chance to prove themselves worthy by passing a series of tests. Even after they were questioned about their whereabouts whenever a raid happens or if any dragon was missing. Rune doesn't know all the details about her grandparents who out of habit lived outside of the main village.
OCCUPATION: She is a jack of all trades as she rotates her duties, but most of it involves dragons in some way. Ex: Washing them, cleaning their stables, petdragon-sitting, etc. She's one of the top twenty long range fighters. She's the rider and best friend of Spyfrills.

STRENGTHS:
Loyalties - A very loyal friend who will stand by her friends no matter what happens and will keep her friends from being bullied and teased. She cares what happen to them and if needed she would allow them to fight their own battles since sometimes it needs to be done. If a friend is sick or injured, she would go to their side and made sure they are surviving well, or a book. She likes cheering her friends or anybody in need up.
Dragon Relations - She's quite good at knowing how to calm down dragons and just by watching her react with them shows she knows what she is doing. After all most of her chores involves dragons, so she takes the time to get to know each species: how their react, what they like or dislike, etc. She knows some Dragonese, but prefers the deeper bond of knowing her dragon by its moods, actions, etc.
Observant - She tends to be quiet and busy, but her eyes and ears are always open to new things and of information going around from talks of the people.
Long Range Weaponry - Bows, Crossbows, and Flying Daggers are a speciality of hers, she most of the time gets her targets. She prefers them to her sword and fighting dagger.
WEAKNESSES:
Curiosity - Yes, it can help her gather information, but it can always be a problem, especially if she goes exploring. She gets in trouble often by invading others just to sate her curious native. She's gotten better as she ages, but still attach to her enough to cause her to explore if something gets into her focus.
Team Sensitivity - She can become easily tempted by other's pains and worries, so it's hard for her to concentrate on fighting if another on her team is injured. She is working on her reactions, but it's a struggle.
Sword & Dagger Fighting - Using the arrows to swords, she is quite average with swords and daggers even though she has a sword and dagger on her.
Trusting & Second Chances - It's hard for her to trust somebody, but it's also equally hard to stop trusting or giving second chances even with Spyfrills pulling her away from the bad influence.
FEARS:
Causing her team to be capture by the enemies.
Being stuck without no way out.
Being kick out of Berk
Rodents
AMBITIONS:
To find her own path without parents to baby her.
Become better at fighter to protect her family and friends.
To overcome her sensitivity enough to be a better teammate.
Learning/Seeing/Meeting new dragons.
SECRETS:
Even though she can cook the bare necessities, she's a horrid cook.
She's a very good singer, but is too shy to sing live except to her dragons. She writes her own songs too.
Though she's a good drawer, if she tries to make her drawings come alive they often breaks down or she can't craft it at all.
OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Don't try to go after her friends or family, she's willing to argue, fight, or scream if necessary. She's not somebody to mess with even though she knows that some battles can't be won always, but she will be willing to try if it means helping others. She's not usually violent, but it can be needed. she would make sure any bully will know they have to go through her first, and rivals, well, everybody needs friendly contests and competitions.
Curious? Observant? Both of these are a big part of her, and Rune was almost always a bit too curious for her own good. She would always rush with adventures, but end up with a bruise or two along the way. She even ended up trespassing without noticing, but she did got better of her just acting without thinking. She's keen with her senses. She might be too observant for her own good, but it has also kept her alive all these years. Guess she has to continue taking one step at a time and don't let her impatience get the better of her to go looking for her answers so quickly.
Having an adventurous spirit added flare to her person and is what makes her so curious and observant. Some think the way she figured out secrets or information could be magical, but it isn't that at all. Her parents consistently needs to keep her active and focus or she will go off though as an adult, she's more resist of her wanderlust and tries to be one of the first to go off riding around the isles with Spyfrills to keep her spirit flying with excitement.
Learning new things is a companion to her adventurous soul.
She has problems with her affairs of the heart. She is often shy or awkward if she's near somebody that she wants to make an impression or just to say hi. She has no problems with keeping bullies away from her friends and herself, but when it comes to her heart well it's a bizarre event and often leaves her blushing or leaving without a word. Once it's over, she can make herself heard and enjoy herself more with that person. So, it shouldn't be too long because she can make a move onto the next phase.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
She has long elegant cheekbones with almond shaped blue colored eyes and a high forehead that is covered by her long bangs. Around her eyes are a collection of ephelides (means: freckles) and a long scar invades the cluster by her right eye, close to her right cheek, curving inward after leaving the lower eyelid ending near her slight peak nose's bridge. The bridge of her nose was bumpy with three levels, not smooth, like it was smacked in two places. Her philrum (area between nose and upper lip)is soft except for the small mole at the left side of it. Her upper lip is 0.78740158 inches or 2 centimeters smaller in thickness than her lower lip within a barely visible cupid's bow. Chin is slightly pointed and has three thin four point star shaped scars on it. Her face is almost oval in shape and framed by her dark brown hair which is bra-strap length aka 18 inches/45.72 centimeters long. Her neck is slender and long with a few clusters of freckles.
She is five foot six inches in height and weigh about one and sixty pounds with a thick bone structure, so she is neither skinny nor fat. Built like an American gymnastic would be the best way to describe the muscles of her arms, legs, rear, and torso. She would possibly wear a 30B, a 18 size blouse, and a 20 size bottoms if she wears modern day American clothing. Wears furred tunics and dark leggings most days. She has occasionally wore armor built from Spyfrills' fallen scales to show her link/trust/love to/of the Hobblegrunt.

Hege and Bjarni had a seven pound female baby in the last day of the hailing season on Berk, they named her Rune and they were happy to finally have a daughter after their son Canute, who was two year and two month at the time. Infantry for Rune was quite healthy and normal for Vikings in Berk at the time, especially seeing as most of those days when Bjarni went out to the lumber and Hege to the small shelter hut that made her little healing chamber, her grandma Dhola and Huglug babysits her brother and her.
Hugleg was a very influent person in her life though he was a Gronckle and had a big heart when it comes to Canute and Rune. Rune was treated like his hatchling throughout her toddler years. Rune would often state she was raise by a dragon instead of her parents due to this. Even though Gronckles were known to be lazy and slow, Hugleg seem intelligent to the little girl he kept watch over. Playful and nurturing were what he taught to her and she thanked him for being there.
At four, she was known as the curious girl in the village, always exploring the neighborhood and ferreting any thing that cause her fascination to flow. Her parents were pushed aside to discuss the issues accidentally made by her and were forced to take action by finding her something to do. Decided on teaching her how to protect herself to help her focus, she became the apprentice of a retired warrior named Derek who used unusual methods to his teachings. It's because of him, she has a phobia for rodents (mostly rats and mice) as he used them to teach her proper techniques of the sword which gave her something else to pay attention to. Her parents put a stop to Derek's mentorship when she slipped into a pile of rats which cause her to be afraid to leave her home for a week. She didn't want to tell her parents at first due to how proud they were when she shown them a new sword trick. She was seven when it was known how she was taught. After Derek was fired, literately by Hugleg for harming his hatchling, Rune decided against doing swords.
Her grandma decided to take her to the academy one day and decided to try out for archery after watching the trainers shot arrows. Dhola was able to get a tutor for her granddaughter who decided to teach her history and problem solving alongside the distance weaponry. Her tutor wanted her to be well rounded and Rune was loving it as she soak the information in.

FIGHTING STYLE: She's a long range fighter using a bow and arrows, throwing daggers, or fighting as one with her dragon. She can go hand to hand with combat, but will prefer to stay out of sight until needed. She knows to do defensive sword styles.
