1) What's one thing you hope to achieve in the future?
I need to become a great warrior. It's something that I have to do, and I have to keep on working and practicing until that happens. You may be born into a Viking tribe, but you're not born a Viking. Nobody just wakes up and suddenly becomes an amazing warrior, and if they do, then they're hiding something.

You have to work hard, you have to fight for it, and you have to do everything you can to make sure you're the best you can be. I still have a long way to go, but I won't give up and I won't stop until I get there.

2. What do you think of yourself? How do you value your own life?
I'm not perfect. I still have a lot of work to do until I'll be really happy with my skills as a fighter, and even then there will always be room for improvement. Still, that doesn't change the fact that I know I'm good at what I do. I'm a strong person, a skilled fighter, and if I keep working on it then I'll be even better.

Life in Berk is hard, but it's the life we've all been given. It's worth fighting for, and it's worth preserving. Nothing will change that.

3. What do you think about killing? Is it necessary, abhorrent, entertaining? Do you/would you kill if necessary?
Of course killing is necessary. If you're a Viking, it's something you're going to have to do at some point. If we stepped back and did nothing whenever dragons attacked, all our livestock would be gone and we'd have died out ages ago. Where I'm from, you either kill or get killed. Holding back isn't an option, and you need to make sure you're ready for it when the time comes.

4. What is your most valuable possession?
My axe. You never know when something unexpected or unwelcome is going to pop up - better to have it on hand so I can be ready for anything.

5. What is the first thing of your life that you remember? Alternatively, what is the memory you hold most dear or important?
One of the most important memories I have is my first raid. I remember the heat, the noise, the chaos... and I couldn't do anything. I was too small to do anything. All I could do was just hide and feel helpless, but I'm not going to let that happen again.

I was too young to do anything back then, but I've learned from that. I'm stronger now. I'm not a child, anymore. No matter what happens, I'm not going to stand back and do nothing. I'm going to fight, and I'm going to win.
