Hey, I ship hiccstrid and not mericcup (no offense to the mericcup shippers). And astrid was NOT a prize. She had a role to play in the story. She was the first viking to know about Toothless and the person to remind Hiccup of his own strengths and convince him to go after Toothless. And not every love interest who is a tomboy in every frickin' movie has to be the friendly, reckless girl Merida is. She had her own goals and she was portrayed as a loner in the movie, though not the cliched loner no one bothers liking. I can see why people have respect for her in the movie. Her goal was to protect her people and bring honor to herself and her family. So she trains and studies hard to achieve her goals. She doesn't hesitate at all to throw herself in danger for others.
