[Backstory]
Ragna Askr was not her birth name, but was Derya. She was born to Azar by an unknown father (the same father that would go on to have Varian), with the purpose to become heir to her dragon hunting clan. Azar wasn't the best mother to her, but she wasn't the worst either, and Derya had nothing but positive memories of her mother. She was taught that dragons were evil, vile, creatures that needed to be culled away from the world as a whole. She didn't question it at all.
But then at the age of 13, everything changed. Her mother came back from a raid, alive but scarred both physically and mentally. Something about her... changed. Azar became more cruel, cold, and unforgiving to everyone, especially Derya. That day when Azar lost half of her sight was the day that Derya considered her mother as she knew her to be lost.
Her training as a future dragon hunter became harsher, crueler, and resulted in scars from both human and dragon, the biggest from her own mother with byzantine fire. Even if it was an accident, Derya soon learned from a captured dragon that dragons weren't the vile monsters so many believed. Everything they knew about them... was wrong. Derya knew that she had to get out of there, but she couldn't do it alone.
On the eve of her 19th birthday, Derya launched her bid to escape, and let loose all of the dragons that had been captured. It was absolute chaos, but that was what she needed to escape. Derya renamed herself Ragna Askr, a name better fitting for the sphere that was the viking realm. She lived a year alone, just getting by with her mild to moderate skills as a healer and later seamstress.
But after her 20th birthday, everything changed. A ship she had boarded was attacked by a rogue band of her mother's dragon cult, looking for their own glory and riches. It was a coincedence, but the ship was lost, and Ragna was left among the fiery ruins as the byzantine fire burned on the water.
But what could have been a cold death on the sea was avoided thanks to her savers who saw the wreck, some of the dragon riders of New Berk. Ragna awoke, her wounds cleaned and bandaged, and among a completely new people and place. She was fearful, but the berkians were kind, but skeptical of her, as they probably should have been with outsiders. But she proved herself to be trustworthy with her skills and... later gaining a tag along in a previously rescued Hideous Zippleback named Rift & Tide.
But even among her new existence, she is distrustful. Hopefully, she can find some new people that can prove to be trust worthy.
