and what if i said Astrid was the Sandstorm of the httyd franchise

YES YES YES ANON YOU ARE SO CORRECT YES, i genuienly was so happy to read this ilysm mysterious person

like theyre both female love interests intially posed to be this super cool, lean mean fighting machine that actually strike and interesting pair with the protaginist AND those around them. but both over time fall for the protagonist and get watered down to just being their ‘partner’. sandstorm slightly misses this but come on, the last time were really emotionally invested in her as readers is due to her qualm of spottedleafs presence in firestars life.

i think these characters are still so enjoyable because of both fandoms awesome imagination and how much they do with so little, but sadly thats not enough. both warrior cats and httyd have a huge sexism problem, different in ways but ultimately file down to female character not having any agency in their own life. sandstorm fades into the background while astrid stands theres with her optimistic smile and weirdly platinum blonde hair.
