"Seriously?"

Astrid's tone is incredulous as she takes in the row - and it's more than just one row, at that - of bread. It's true, they once had a competition amongst traders on Berk for the best tasting food but that was cooking, with spices. This is something else, she thinks, picking up a half-loaf of nutty honey wheat bread. "Why does anyone need this many types of bread?" She's speaking to herself, but she's not exactly quiet about it.

Astrid gave a low sound of annoyance - more of a growl really. Two weeks wasn't really long enough for anyone to get used to being whisked away from home. Especially when 'home' was a place that snowed most of the year, stormed (tempests) the rest and was... two thousand years in the past. It's overwhelming and not in a good way.

"And I thought Berk was getting over-crowded," she grumbled to herself, arms folded as she side-stepped a group of people passing through. "Who thought so many people in one place was a good idea?" Another side-step, unfortunately, it's as a door swing open and she would get a glass pane to the face if she wasn't better at evasion - "Hey, watch it, muttonbrain !"

Was that [BRITT ROBERTSON]? Oh no no, that was just [ASTRID HOFFERSON], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON]. They are [TWENTY] years old, use [SHE/HER], and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long. {ooc: aru, 29, cst, they/them}

How long has your character been here?

Two weeks. Long enough to not have to play out an initial panic, still short enough she's very new (and easily irritated by it).

What is your character's job?

She'll need to figure that one out! She's hardworking and ambitious but also going from being Berk's General in a society that doesn't really have money... Look. Maybe she'll become a sky diving instructor.

Where has your character been pulled from in their fandom?

Between the second and third movies. Post-Dark Horse Comics era. I do include information from The Fire Tides.

Has any magic affected your character?

You could say the magic that has affected her is the fact she's a Viking 2000 years in the future.

Any other information you might find useful for us and other members to know?

Just two things: The first, I try to stay as canon definitive as possible. My degree is in classical history so I also try to tie in viking history wherein possible. If it's not something exclusively said in HTTYD, that's where it's coming from!

I'm also not at all new to RP but it's been... at least five years since I've touched tumblr for anything (including roleplay). Please be patient with me and nudge me if I do anything weird. Let's have fun!
