So Arkin's backstory. My memories are fading but I'll do my best.

--

So Arkin has been born and raised in Wingmaiden Island. Wingmaiden Island still has a pretty feministic culture, where females lead most of the political and prominent roles in the community, with a limited number of men allowed to live on the island. The Island's strictness has weakened of course, with a person named Snotlout 1000 years ago, being the first man with rights to live on the island.

So back to Arkin. Arkin's father was a sailor, who had, on a solo ride, crashed onto the shores of Wingmaiden Island. The Island wasn't a mystery, with good relations with neighbouring towns, but prefered to remain a bit more closed off. Arkin's father fell in love with Arkin's mother, an influential leader of Wigmaiden Island, and Arkin was born.

Later on, Arkin's parents had differences and arguments over the Wingmaiden's strict rules, and they divorced, with Arkin's father moving to Berk. Arkin was still young and continued to live on Wingmaiden Island.

Then Arkin turned 13. Arkin's mother knew what she had to do. It was written in the law, and she, being the chief, was always bound to follow it. Now being a young man living in Wingmaiden Island, and with his father, not a Wingmaiden resident, Arkin was forced to leave the Island, shipped off to live with his father on Berk.

Arkin was hurt. He had grown fond of his mother, but his mother always put her culture over her own child. Arkin's father was a good man, but he just one lonely man living on Berk. Arkin moved to his father's home, a small shack located at the far outskirts of the town.

Arkin felt alone, lost in the world. He was the top dog of Wingmaiden Island, and then his mum just ships him away!?! Arkin locked himself up in his room, staying in the shack for over a year, cut off from the rest of the world. He hadn't met a soul except for his hardworking father, now a mear fisherman, and the four walls of the shack. They barely had enough money to scrape by, but Arkin didn't want to go meet the people of Berk. He was a noble of the Wingmaiden tribe, no-one was worthy of his presence. Arkin began leaving his shell, helping his father fish on the far side of the island, and also began maintaining the cabbage field. He had to work like a peasant. But Arkin hoped that one day, he'll be able to revoke his rights to his island, Wingmaiden Island.

One day Arkin, late at night, he was left awake by the loud music of a party on Berk. ''A party on Berk? Seriously?''

Arkin left his shack and saw a flash of red hair chase after another boy with black hair who was chasing a boy with brown hair, and were all being chased by a boy in blonde hair, who was being followed by a girl with brunette hair.

It may have been a split-second but he knew the red hair when he saw it. ''Red. Of course. ''Arkin knew Red. Red was the WingMaiden traitor scum, whose family had abandoned their own Island to move to Berk. Those, too-smart for the WingMaiden's, upper-class lawyers, poshy-posh snobs. They were always no good. Rotton apples they were. Abandoning WingMaiden Island for Berk. Not like Arkin of course. Arkin was forced there. Arkin was not a traitor like Red. Arkin remembered his days fighting Red at WingMaiden Island and laughed. The fiery tempered girl who thought she could fight Arkin. Fight the top-dog? In her dreams!

Arkin groggily staggered outside his shack and gazed over the forest. An advantage of their shack was it overlooked Berk on one side, and the forest around it and behind it, with the mountain on the fourth side.

A fire rose from the forest which the 5 kids had run into. He knew instantly what had happened.

''It was that traitor scum, trying to burn my shack. Of course, that low-lying traitor.''

Arkin never wanted to leave his shack but he knew the traitor must pay. Tomorrow, no later, Arkin had to go tell the chief of Berk. Whoever he was. The traitor had to pay.

That was not a section, but a character description. In an interesting way.

You can specify, Hana, how Arkin's specifics in backstory and personality are. (BTW, they live in Mildew's shack).
