Hiccup have to kill a Monstrous Nightmare not to become a Viking but to earn the qualification of becoming Chief of the Tribe, to succeed his father's position, in my opinion. About the recognition of night fury, I believe that Astrid recognizes it from its black skin suitable for hiding in darkness and according to the already seen outlines, while on the arena, Vikings recognize Nighy Fury mainly by its typical attacking sound and blast. About the "Night Fury Get Down" it's just a sense of humor, since through the years Vikings can do nothing other than getting down againist a Night Fury Get Down. Lack of female in books, it's an obvious bug and we all know that. The most noteworthy one is Astrid's never wearing a helmet,which is unique not only among pupils but among all Vikings seen. We can suppose that Astrid don't wear one because 1. in fact Hiccup don't wear one much either(however, the helmet means much to him and in the sequals he wears it a lot and feels very upset when losing it),providing similarity. 2. her leather band just serve as one, helmet is just a symbol, don't have to provide full cover or protection. 3.she is confident of her agility and feels no necessity of wearing one... Anyway these deduction are "sloppy".Hope Dreamworks can present a good story over it.
