This is what you look like, I drew and designed her myself :)

I come from a village, far, far east, my home. Longsan, dragons of all specials roamed our open skies and boundless forests. Natalie Zhao, the best trick rider and racer there is in my village, recognised from the fury mark on her upper arm. All the clans of Longsan are tied to a species of dragon, the most esteemed clan being the Zhao clan. But that was half a year ago. My family was decimated, a man wearing a cloak made from nightfury skin, he had long black dreadlocks with an arm that looked like a prosthetic, trappers from everywhere raided our village, he was on a mission, to kill the last of the night furies and kill the Zhao clan.
I look up at the sky, "I'm sorry, I know we've been flying forever, we need to find a new village... I'm sorry Stormshear." I stroke my hand across his jaw as we glide over the clouds, he growls and huffs, I took strands of my hair and braided them to pass the time. It was a tradition on Longsan island for when your child was born, to raise an egg of your clan's dragon alongside them, that way they'd be each other's leaning pillar of support, "Do you want to rest your wings for a while? We've been flying for days straight now, you must be exhausted." I pet his side, he roars slightly, "Those sea stacks seem good, let's drop down there." I point down and adjust myself on his saddle better, "Actually. Why don't we do a little performance, it's been months." I scratch behind his ears, he flaps his wings slightly in happiness, "Alright, let's go." I stand up and flip back into a handstand, shifting my weight to one arm, I closed my eyes, it felt like I was back home again, the cheering voices, the strings of the guzheng and the erhu, everything flooded back, I did a back walkover and I felt Stormshear tense his tail as I balance on it, swinging myself and catching back on, I take a running start and flip off his head, the two of us stared at each other for a moment, he lolls his tongue out I laughed and scratched his chin, we spin around each other, I grab onto his front paws and he opens his wings, I grunt a little at the sudden force, he swings his arms forward and I flip back onto his saddle, "Thank you! Thank you!" I pretend to bow and blow kisses, I saw Terrible Terrors stare at me, Stormshear lets out small roars and nods his head, "Shut up you goof." I push his head, he bites my hand but he made sure to bite my padding, his teeth barely sinking it, "Oh no! Save me! A rabid dragon!" I pretended to faint, I felt him flop his head onto my stomach, "Ohh!" I wheezed out at the weight, "Yep, good boy. Right on my stomach." I strain to say as I pet the top of his head, he licks his lips and closes his eyes, shuffling around me to get cozy, I saw his body lifting up and down slowly, "You really were tired, weren't you. Why didn't you tell me earlier." I sigh and run my fingers over the small scales on the top of his head, I try to slide out from under his head but he was far too heavy for me now.
After we rested up, we were back to flying, the climate got much colder than what it's like back home, "Are you starting to feel it too Storm?" I rubbed my forearms, he screeches softly and shakes his head to wake himself up, I heard the sound of a village horn, the two of us whipped towards the sound and he hovered, "No way... have we found a village?" I squint in that direction, the fog was heavy but I was two large statues, "No way. No way! We did it Storm!" I shake his cheek, he looks up at me and flaps excitedly, I lay down on his back, "Storm, turbo boost." I pull on my Yakshini mask, his upper body rose a little then with a powerful flap he shot through the sky, an audible sonic boom went off as we flew closer to the island, I made us slow down before we were within two hundred meters, I take a closer look, they had dragons in cages in an arena, "Crap." I mutter to myself, they were dragon killers, I rub my face, "WHAT DUMB LUCK!" I shout and yell, he growls and slaps my cheek with one of his hears, "Alright, alright. I'm sorry but you're right. We can't afford to fly for another few months in search for another island, I guess this is the best shot we've got for now but we need to hide you. Storm, you're not allowed to be anywhere near those people you hear me. If you hear one of them I need you to fly as far away as you can till you hear my whistle. Promise?" I look down at him, he turns his head slightly to look back up at me and rumbles, "Atta boy." I pet his neck, I fly down to the beach and I get him to help me place a few planks to stage a scene for a shipwreck, "Disappear into the forest and never come out till I call for you. Alright. I know this will be our first time apart but be a good boy alright?" I stroke his jaw, he roars lightly and licks my knuckles, "Get out of here." I slap the side of his body, he runs away and flys into the forest, I felt a small part of me leave, for the first time in my life had I ever felt so lonely.
I walked through the village, I couldn't stick out more, they all had fair skin while I had darker tan skin, my hair jet black while they had brown or blond locks, my eyes pitch black and theirs blue, brown, green! For the first time in my life had I experienced such features, I looked around at the blacksmith, "Hello? Is this um..." I stare in, "Yeah! I'll be a sec! What was the number we gave you?" I heard a voice, "O-Oh, no it's alright, I didn't order anything I just... um..." I saw brown hair peeking over the sword grinder, "Are you two?" "No." "Fifteen?" "No, well I actually-" "Then nine, it's gotta be nine." He says, "No! Please! Just listen for a sec!" I finally snap, he looks up and stares at me, "Whoa..." He blinks and doesn't take his gaze off me, I purse my lips together and tap the pads of my fingers on the table, "Um. Do you know where I am?" I am, "That sounded so stupid." I turn on my heel and clasp my hands behind my head and close my elbows down, "Welcome to Berk. Are you alright? Are you lost? Just how did you get here?" I saw him stand at the shop window, "Well... you see..." I blow my cheeks up and try to quickly think of an idea, "Well my second aunt's sister's cousin's brother's wife's children live here and I was on a boat to come visit her but it sunk... so I'm the only one who survived..." I made a bogus lie, "Shit." I curse under my breath, he looks at me and laughs, "That was a complete lie wasn't it." He holds his stomach, "Wha, no it wasn't!" I had to try to make it work, "How come your clothes aren't wet then?" He reaches his arms out and pinches my collar, I felt his fingers lightly brush against my skin and I blushed bright red, "I-I!" I sigh, "Alright. Fine. You're right. My boat actually crashed into your shore, my village was destroyed by-" "Dragons?!" He interrupts me, "...Yeah!" He gave me a whole new story to work with, "You seem very excited that your village got killed by dragons." He stares at me scratching his lip trying not to laugh, "No! No, not like that!" I quickly shake my arms, he laughs and leans his cheek on his fist on the table, "Well my boat crashed onto your shore and I guess I'm stuck here for now. Do you know if I could talk to the leading clan about my stay here?" I ask, he didn't respond but his eyes were half-lidded and he had a stupid looking smile on his face as he looks at me, "Um hello?" I wave my hand in front of his eyes, he jolts back up and he hits his head on some rocks connected with rope, "Oh Gods! Ow!" He clutches on his head, I giggled, "Careful there loverboy or you'll end up with a concussion, I'd never be able to find the leading clan with a ditzy guide." I laughed, "Loverboy?!" He blushed bright red, I held onto the shop window and couldn't stop laughing, "Come on now, I saw that look on your face, you were totally smitten." I smirked, "Wha? Pshhhh, what are you talking about." He puts his hand out trying to lean on the wall but he greatly underestimated the wall's distance and he fell onto the ground, I felt tears prickle in my eyes from laughing so hard, "I uh... I can take you to my father." He dusts off his apron, "Oh. You have a chief instead of a leading clan." I realised, "Leading clan?" He slides his apron off and hangs it up, "Oh yeah, back at my home village we had leading clans our clan was the leading clan." I nod, "Wow..." He stares at me again and dozes off, "Um... hello?" I wave my hand again, he snaps out of it, "You ought to get a hold of yourself loverboy." I laughed and punched his arm, "You know, I can't call you loverboy for the rest of your life. What's your name?" I put my hands behind my back and lean over, "Hiccup." He smiles, "Well nice to meet you Hiccup. My name's Natalie, but you can just call me Nat." I grinned.
"I'm home." Hiccup opens the door, "Ah son! We've got to talk," I saw a towering man stand up from his chair by the fireplace, I subconsciously tugged onto the hem of Hiccup's shirt and stood closer to him, "Son. I think it's time you start killing dragons. Dragon killing school. Tomorrow morning." He doesn't turn around, "Oh boy. I was just about to say, look, the village already has so many... dragon killing Vikings... we don't have enough... bread making Vikings!" He rubs the back of his neck, "You start tomorrow, you get your wish. You'll need this." He turns around and brings out a large axe and turns around to us and freezes, "Oh... hello." He looks down at me, I gulp, "H-Hello sir. It's a pleasure to meet you." I give a deep bow and place my fist into my open hand, Hiccup and his father stare at me questioningly, "Oh right, you don't do that here. Um." I clear my throat, "Hello sir. My name is Natalie Zhao. I was wondering if I could stay here on Berk for a while, my village was exterminated and my boat crashed onto your shores." I look up at him, he takes a deep breath, "Can you kill dragons?" He asks, "Wait what?" I blink, "Can you kill dragons?" He asks again, "What no! Of course I can't!" I was shocked, "You can't? Well I guess you'll have to enrol as well." He says, "Is that your way of saying I can stay?" I say hopefully, he smiles, "We never leave a Viking out in open waters. Stoick the Vast." He smiles softly, I let go of the back of Hiccup's shirt, "We'll make arrangements as soon as possible. However, if you want to stay on Berk you'll need to know how to defend against out dragons, especially the from the nightfury, tomorrow morning, you'll go with Hiccup to the arena." He says, my jaw was on the ground, "I'm sorry... did you just say nightfury?" I stare at him.
