Ten years before the events of the series, when Astrid was five years old, a Flightmare attacked Berk, appearing they're every ten years. She wanted a chance to prove herself and tried to confront the dragon on her own but Finn stopped her and told her she was too young to fight. Finn want to confront the creature himself; however, Astrid overheard villagers talk about how her Uncle froze in fear of the Flightmare before his demise. when in reality, the Flightmare has sprayed Finn with mist that paralyzed him. She attempted to get at the Flightmare a second time, but was stopped by Gobber, who told Astrid that wee ax wouldn't be enough and that one day, she'd have the opportunity to avenge her beloved uncle

Since then, Astrid swore to avenge her Uncle and restore her family name.

As she grew older, both Hiccup and Snotlout developed a crush on Astrid, but she never developed any feelings toward either of them.

How to Train Your Dragon
Annoyed that Hiccup was given the opportunity to kill his first dragon, Astrid followed Hiccup to the cave, where Toothless was hiding and wanted to learn the secret of Hiccup's success. She angrily confronted him about his strange behavior, unlike the previous time she caught him. Despite Hiccup denying everything, Astrid suspected something was going on and proceeded in harming him. However, when Astrid saw Toothless approaching, she thought he was a threat and protectively threw Hiccup to the ground and urged him to run to safety. However, Hiccup prevented them from harming each other and told Astrid she just scared him. Surprised, Astrid deduced that Hiccup was with a dragon the whole time and ran off to tell the village.
