History
Meeting Hiccup
Camicazi meets Hiccup and Fishlegs when they are imprisoned by the Romans in Fort Sinister. Like Hiccup, she is one of several Viking heirs that the Romans have kidnapped in order to foment mistrust and war between the various tribes. At first mistaking Hiccup and Fishlegs for Roman spies, she attacks them with her sword, and develops grudging respect for Hiccup when he proves to be a competent sword fighter.
Declaring that Bog-Burglars are the world's greatest escape artists, she hatches various breakout plans, all of which fail:
- First, she knits Hiccup and Fishlegs's waistcoats together and attaches a fish head to it, hoping to lure a Gronkle to grab it and fly them away; the first part of the plan succeeds, but the Gronkle drops her in the middle of Roman soldiers in the middle of a card game;
- Next, she tries to dig her way out with Hiccup's helmet, but her tunnel comes out in The Fat Consul's bathroom (while he is still having a bath);
- Third, she ambushes the soldier who brings their food and takes his clothes, planning to disguise herself, but the Roman's clothes are impossibly large on her.
After this third plan fails, she eventually gives up, but then Hiccup hatches a plan with the help of the self-proclaimed Nano-dragon "god" Ziggerastica. After Hiccup helps them escape by posing as Thor with the help of the Nano-Dragons, they quickly escape. During their escape from a Roman amphitheater, Camicazi is nearly eaten by Sharkworms, but Hiccup rescues her. (How to Speak Dragonese)
Later adventures
Camicazi later helps Hiccup on the quest for the Frozen Potato (How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse), the quest to stop the volcano exploding (How to Twist a Dragon's Tale), and the quest to steal a copy of How to Train Your Dragon from the Meathead Public Library (A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons).
On the Isle of Berserk
Camicazi was lost at sea during a storm, before being captured by UG and kept as a prisoner on Berserk. Hiccup managed to rescue her because she dropped a trail of winkles which Toothless could follow. She eventually helped Hiccup to destroy the Berserk Village and free the Beast of Berserk.
She also once stole a pair of underpants from Stoick the Vast, while he was still wearing them.
Personality and Abilities
Camicazi is hyperactive and somewhat overconfident, but also very brave and loyal to her friends. She is a skilled sword-fighter, having held her own against Alvin the Treacherous, Norbert the Nutjob, and the Hairy Scary Librarian, despite her short stature. She is also a skilled burglar and escape artist, though she doesn't think very deeply sometimes.
Like all Bog-Burglars, she is generally disdainful towards men, including the Hairy Hooligans, but is one of the few people who has a healthy respect for Hiccup's abilities and his bravery.
Dragon
Camicazi has an extremely rare mood dragon called Stormfly who changes colour according to her mood and is a pathological liar.
Background Information

- She does not appear in the film adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon, but may have been the inspiration for the lead female character, Astrid Hofferson.
