My view on the HTTYD Next Generation (Zephyr, Nuffink and OCs)
Since How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World hit theaters a few months ago and since I cried at the end, here is my view on the next generation.
The Haddock Family (Hiccup and Astrid):
We obviously already got their two adorable kids, but I personally think Hiccup and Astrid leave it on two. Since I have thought of the next gen since before we knew about Zeph and Nuff, I had already thought of three kids. When they got canon kids, I couldn’t do anything but re-arrange what I had.
Of course, their first-born child is Zephyr Stormfly Haddock. According to the art-book, she takes after her father the most, up to a nervous personality. I could see her, after her teens, as a mature, responsible leader-to-be, taking her job very serious, since she is the first female Chief.
The second is Nuffink Toothless Haddock, probably the trouble-maker of the family. As he is described, he takes more after Astrid, so I can see him as one with a fire within, but gentle and with a heart of gold. He would probably become a warrior, like his mother.
As for the next gen ocs, the first one is Hiccstrid’s third child and second daughter, Alischa “Liz” Valka Haddock. She has, overall, more parts of Hiccup’s character with Astrid’s temper and their combined stubborness. She is, like her mother, someone who needs a voice of reason in her life.
The fourth child is a boy named Stoick Finn Haddock II and he is the emotional teenager of the family. He is grumpy, hates the world and doesn’t give a damn about what happens in the village, since the only things he cares about are books.
Toothless and Light Fury Family:
Of course we already know they have three hatchlings and everyone gives them different names, so here are my options about their names. However, they can change once we get the real names:
The first litter consists of the canon-but-not-named Night Lights:
The first one, the more black one with blue eyes, I call Eclipse and is a female. Zephyr would be her rider and she would be more like her mother, the Light Fury - very distant of humans. However, once she gets to know them, she would love them like her father.
The white one, Lunar, is called after her mother, but is nothing like her. She is enthusiastic about everything she sees and wants to learn everything possible. She absolutely loves humans, and especially Nuffink. They would probably be friends for life.
The youngest one of the trio, the black one with green eyes, is Solar. He is named after the position of the sun in the sky, ruling over the lands. He is very wary of humans, especially since he is chosen by the Dragons to take over the role of Alpha after his father steps back.
Now for the second litter, considering of ocs:
The oldest of the two is called Safire and looks almost identical to her father, despite her having several white spots and more swift wings and fins. Her rider is Liz Haddock and in the fanfic I’m writing, they play the main rolls. Safire is more like her mother, but without being wary about humans.
The rest of the following characters are all ocs.
The Ingerman Family (Fishlegs and Heather):
The first one, Helena Windshear Ingerman, is the new apprentice in the forge and Zephyr’s best friend. She is the ultimate mom-friend, always worried and nervous about what her friends (and siblings) are doing, but also pretty smart and capable of letting things go.
Then you have the twins, Fay Heather Ingerman and Veena Astrid Ingerman. Where Veena is outgoing and hyperactive, Fay is more calm and collected. She is someone who thinks too much, while her sister is more the person to jump right into something.
The youngest, Hugo Oswald Ingerman, is the smartest kid you will ever meet. He is Stoick’s best friend and often comes with good advice for the emo teen to get him out of his issues. However, he has a great interest with everything that comes with Dragons and weapons.
The Broken Family (Snotlout and Ruffnut, Ruffnut and Eret, Snotlout and Minden):
Here’s where things get complicated, but I’ll explain it.
Around a year to two years before Zephyr was born, Snotlout and Ruffnut were in the like-not-like situation and from that, Thorvald Hookfang Jorgenson was born. However, Ruffnut was also in love with Fishlegs, but since she just had a son with another man and saw her crush already moving on to Heather, she decided to let it slide and care for her baby.
Things didn’t work out for Ruff and Snotlout and they parted ways very quickly. Half a year after Thorvald’s birth, they decided to share their son and went to life in different houses. Five months later, Ruff had a drunk night with Eret and from that, Audun Eret Thorston and Hialti Ruffnut Thorston were born. Eret, trying to be a good father, still cared for them, but he didn’t want a relationship with Ruff. However, they remained good friends and Ruffnut decided she was happy.
In the meantime, Snotlout married Minden. They had, in the year Stoick II was born, a daughter, Ylva Minden Jorgenson. However, when the Wingmaidens were attacked, Minden left to help. She was never seen again and Snotlout assumed she had died, leaving him to care for a small child and his son.
Thorvald is nothing like his parents. He is kind and caring, loving nothing more than to see others happy. He is engaged to Zephyr, and they are as much in love as Zephyr’s parents are.
Audun is cocky. He appreciates his own voice and appearance more then the well-being of even his family. He has spend years to take Zephyr away from his half-brother - succeeded for a while - and definately deserved it when Nuffink and Liz fought him for cheating on their sister.
Hialti is very nervous, although she loves attention. At the prill age of seventeen, she got pregnant by a man who loved her, but died in an accident. She gave birth to her son, Stian, at eighteen and never got over her lost love.
Ylva is shy and very emotional. She cries at the most subtle sentences - especially if they involve her mother. She has a crush on Stoick and brings the best out of him - but he doesn’t see it.
The Thorston Family (Tuffnut and Aine (oc)):
Tuffnut met, sometime after The Hidden World, a woman named Aine and they quickly fell in love. From that came their twins - since twins run in the family.
Annika Masey Thorston is the oldest of the two and Nuffink’s admiror. She stumbles over her words with ease, blushes very quickly, but has great humor and has her father’s smarts.
Kjell Lloyd Thorston the the second of the twins and loves to get in trouble. He is, what they call, an idiot, but a sweet one. He cares a lot about his friends - especially Fay - and is always up for a joke.
The Berserker Family (Dagur and Mala):
The oldest and so the heir of the Berserkers is called Ingrid Heather Berserker. She is a year younger than Nuffink - her parents decided to first combine the Berserkers and Defenders of the Wing properly. Ingrid is more strict like her mother, but also a little bit crazy and adventure-loving like Dagur.
Oh God this went on for longer then I expected.
If anyone has questions about the characters or backstories, since I didn’t explain everything here, or about the fanfiction I’m writing, send them! I’ll be happy to answer!
