Two distrustful, proud beings who reject the idea of letting their guard down and showing weakness. They built up their walls and push anyone who tried to break through them.

The difference is that while Astrid had comunity and therefore a duty to protect her people, Toothless was independent and relied on no one but himself.

They are both rejectful at Hiccup at first, both tried to get rid of him and avoid every interaction because of their own avoidant nature and ego, always prioritizing their own independence and reputation, Astrid during dragon training, trying to protect her spot as the best of the class in order to become an official viking warrior and Toothless when Hiccup gave him his prosthetic tail and tried to get rid of him, trying to put an end to their temporal alliance to go back to being feared.

Yet it was Hiccup's audacity, insistence and worldview that ultimately softened them and let them be the children they really were all the time.

Both had to realize that there was more in life that being what they thought they had to be in order to survive.
