Hiccup Haddock never fit in around Berk. The son of the chief, he was supposed to be a strong and fearless leader. The only friend he had was Ember, surrogate daughter of Gobber the Belch, whose talent for trouble was only equaled by Hiccup's talent for disaster. He never wanted to be a burden, but people have a way of looking down on those they think are weaker than them.
The others always knew what they were supposed to be, but he didn't have a clue. He wasn't good at anything, really, except screwing up. All he wanted was to be one of them, but until he'd done something worthwhile, that wasn't going to happen.
During a dragon attack, Hiccup shoots down a Night Fury - the most elusive and vicious dragon that ever terrorized Vikings. He believes his luck may have just taken a turn for the better. If he can be strong, like a real Viking, he could rise in their ranks and be the person his father so desperately wants him to be.
But when he finds the dragon, he finds a strength in himself that surprises him more than anyone else - and that's saying something.
As some dialogue and plot is directly from the movie, I should say I do not own How to Train Your Dragon. All credits for that go to DreamWorks and those guys.
