She Could Have So Much More - Tumblr Posts

Hey, hey dreamworks, she can look female AND have a character design that has personality

yeah yeah, beating a dead horse with this one, yet another LF redesign but I couldn't help myself. Did this more for fun and now you are forced to consume my dumb headcanons

I quite like the idea of light furies being a little water aligned so, as a sub-evolution of night furies, they gave up a lot of the physical stockiness of their darker counterparts along with some of their spikes and sharper edges for fins and a build that helps them be more nimble in water. Though they retain some of their spikes, primarily on their tail to dissuade predators from biting them there

Their camouflage has altered to mimic their primarily habitats which are sea shores and the ocean in general as their patterns resemble the water’s surface and the bottom of the sea floor. They can’t breathe underwater per‘say but like some other animals they can hold their breath for a pretty long time.

Light furies are a tad smaller than night furies and not as physically imposing but they have alarmingly sharp teeth and tend to live in fairly large packs. Surprisingly one of the dragon species that actively hunts and eats other dragons. Essentially, they are the piranhas of the dragon world and mainly corner bigger “fish” like scauldrons

for THW light fury, she very much has a cheeky daredevil attitude and doesn’t exactly shy away from brawls even if she sometimes gets her ass handed to her. She is incredibly curious and loves exploring which was put on pause for a long while when she got captured by hunters and escaped with an intense fear of humans and a horribly mangled, later cut off, leg. She had been steadily avoiding going out from the hidden world too much but eventually ventured out again which lead to her meeting with toothless

Now, unlike toothless who hasn’t seen another fury for who knows how long and was ecstatic, it wasn’t a first time for her since she had a small but present number of 7 pack mates. If anything, she was initially kinda wary of this very similar looking,smelling, sounding dragon that felt like a light fury but very much wasn’t one. Think of a humorous version of the uncanny valley but for a very a confused dragon instead. But he seemed friendly enough, goofy even and she could admire that he (at least to her knowledge) appeared to be a dragon that survived despite the very death-sentence injury that was a missing tail fin for their kind.

And then she gets scared off by hiccup etc etc

Until their later interactions in the lake, I would retcon the part that toothless didn't know jack shit about dragon dancing but he definitely was a little unequipped to do it. She mostly thought he was kinda funny but was impressed by the curious squiggles and lines he drew in the sand making pictures because she had very much not seen another one do that before and was really excited by the prospect of learning it too

again scared by the sudden appearance of these pesky humans, she initially started flying away but remembered that her new friend couldn’t exactly fly so ,to help him, despite her growing panic, opted to land in front of him and growl at what she thought was hunters, trying to appear as big as possible

until strangely enough, the night fury stopped her, trying to reassure her that the pesky, deceivingly harmless-looking humans were, not only not a danger but his... friends?

Not sure exactly how to follow from there but ya get the gist

as for how the end would be like, I’m adopting the School of dragons canon in that the dragons don’t just up and leave and the riders instead take the role of protectors for the place. The light fury is still fairly wary of humans but she has warmed up to Valka and especially Hiccup who she finds extremely fascinating because of his leg prosthetics. He even made her a prosthetic leg to try out and she was just endlessly mesmerized by it. Her relationship with toothless is very playful and chill and they sorta teach each other stuff, her about his wilder dragon side and other tricks and abilities he can try and be about the outside world that she has been away from and about all those fun, interesting quirks and skills that he has learned from and about humans
