In " Edge of Disaster, Part 1" and " Edge of Disaster, Part 2", Astrid was forced to work with Ruffnut and Tuffnut to create more defenses for Dragon's Edge. Astrid was not pleased by this and was further irritated by the Twins' incompetence. Eventually, it got to a stage where Astrid lost her patience and began to berate them. Ruffnut, who was fed up with Astrid's constant criticism, began to scold Astrid for her mighty attitude and ended up mortifying her. Astrid eventually apologized for her behavior and they made up. America Ferrera refers to Astrid as being Hiccup's "number one defender and champion" by the time of How to Train Your Dragon 2.

The name Astrid means "divine beauty", "divinely beautiful", "God's strength" or "Godly strength" in Old Norse. In " Out of the Frying Pan", Toothless attempted to save Astrid when she was trapped inside the volcano. Since she's beautiful, people think she's not tough. But you should never underestimate me. Uh, her--uh, us. [src] In How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, Astrid and Valka work together as warriors. At the beginning of the film, Astrid states "Well, we could train a lot harder, for one. That was pretty sloppy." about their mission, in which respect Valka agrees. Later, while flying in the sky, to New Berk, Astrid gasps and says "The Light Fury!" In which Valka replies "She's following us!" They are also shown talking animatedly to each other in the sky, while headed to their new home. Astrid and Valka also help each other when going in to Grimmel's base. Later, Valka tells Astrid that she should go talk to Hiccup to help him realize the truth, which leads to Astrid and Hiccup heading off to the Hidden World on Stormfly. After Grimmel captures Toothless, Valka tells Astrid to talk to Hiccup, which ends up making Hiccup think of a plan to save Toothless and the Light Fury. At the end of the movie Valka is shown at her son, Hiccup, and Astrid's wedding. Valka is also shown standing by Astrid on the cliff after the wedding. Astrid seems to see Valka almost as a second mother, and the two get on with one another very well, both having similar views and interests within both dragons and fighting. During the events of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, Astrid is Hiccup's sole confidant and emotional support. It is even made clear by Valka that she is the only one that can get through to Hiccup. Her relationship with him is even more secure to the point that they are both willing to marry.Astrid is the first teen given a real life name with the second teen being Heather. But, unlike Heather, Astrid's name is historically correct and originates from Viking culture. In " No Dragon Left Behind", she is seen crying for the first time in the franchise, though she was visibly emotional at different moments in all three films.

Astrid and Valka have always been on good terms. From the very first time they met, Valka has always been supportive of Hiccup and Astrid’s relationship, and Astrid is happy to see that Hiccup found his long lost mother.In " Race to Fireworm Island", Astrid showed a gentler side in the face of Snotlout's obvious worry about Hookfang, telling him that there was nothing wrong with caring and almost crying when Hookfang was supposedly mortally wounded by the Fireworm Queen. In " Total Nightmare", Astrid did show concern for Snotlout when he decided to go up against a Titan Monstrous Nightmare. Astrid, 20, is the self-assured, competitive champion of the Dragon Races and Hiccup's longtime girlfriend. Beautiful despite herself, she's tough and rational, providing Hiccup with a blunt voice of reason while remaining his most outspoken supporter. When younger, she is short-tempered and somewhat of a perfectionist at times, which is especially true before the integration of dragons. Further exacerbated by her emotional personality, this can lead her to act impulsively and irrationally. In the first movie, Astrid was solely focused on training and the war, often isolating herself and ignoring the other teens. When Hiccup began surpassing her, she grew visibly upset. Fueled by jealousy and suspicion, she started to follow him discreetly, eventually leading her to interrogate him in the Cove. In "Heather Report, Part 2", Astrid was able to fool Alvin into thinking she was Heather by disguising herself as her. Alvin noted Astrid seemed feistier than the original Heather was but stayed convinced by the act until Astrid tried to take off with the Book of Dragons on the Monstrous Nightmare she had just befriended.
