That said, once Cloudjumper warms up with Toothless, he’s also more likely to be relaxed and dorky. Even when Cloudjumper comes to know Toothless, he does demonstrate formality to the new alpha - an action which astonishes even Toothless. It takes a little for him to warm up with individuals. Cloudjumper isn’t going to be a dragon who will be outgoing and silly with the first person he meets. In some ways, this is because Cloudjumper is a reserved personality. Toothless hopping in dorkily to befriend Cloudjumper, throws the dragon a bit off-guard, causing Cloudjumper at one point to retract his wing away from Toothless. He will keep himself erect and proud, looking like something noble. Instead of cheerfully greeting the dragon or curiously sniffing the Night Fury (like many dragons do in the sanctuary), Cloudjumper seems willing to stand his distance. His reserved “airs”, for instance, manifest when he first becomes acquainted with Toothless. (It is also canon, as Cloudjumper appears to be full grown when he meets infant Hiccup). One gets the impression Cloudjumper is older than Toothless simply by his personality. I’m not saying that he’s pompous, but that he will sometimes make himself look regal, mature, or reserved. But Cloudjumper, with his obvious character trait in curiosity, could have wanted to investigate just as much as human companion.Ĭloudjumper is not a rude or cocky dragon, but he does have some “airs” about him. It almost makes you wonder if Cloudjumper’s and Valka’s curiosities were working together when they snatched Hiccup from the sky back in “Toothless Lost.” Valka is obviously invested in this strange dragon rider. But because Toothless’ actions are that novel and intriguing, Cloudjumper cannot look away. It comes to the point Cloudjumper’s head will turn almost completely one hundred eighty degrees around. Because Toothless is moving, this means Cloudjumper constantly has to rotate his head to keep Toothless in sight. Cloudjumper’s head will stay focused on Toothless as the Night Fury draws pictures in the snow. Sometimes, the curiosity’s even more obvious. Sometimes you see it with the cock of his head. Sometimes you just see it in his big yellow eyes as he stares at the sanctuary’s latest arrivals (Hiccup and Toothless). There are many other instances of Cloudjumper’s curiosity. So interesting, in fact, that he takes her back to the Bewilderbeast’s sanctuary, where, as Valka recounts it, he thought she “belonged.” While many other dragons would have fled or poised themselves for defense, Cloudjumper remains calm and stares, intrigued, at current unfolding events. This is amazing gentleness and amazing inquisitiveness. Not frightened, Cloudjumper gazes at Valka and slowly comes toward her. Gently, the dragon leans forward to learn more about this baby and interact with him.Ĭloudjumper’s curiosity shifts from Hiccup to Valka when she steps in to save her son. Instead of fighting with the other raiding dragons, Cloudjumper sweeps inside a Viking house and curiously approaches a human infant. The fact that Cloudjumper is a curious dragon is the very reason Valka was taken from Berk. Sometimes, Cloudjumper will step forward with little reservation to check something out. He is curious about many novel instances, and will stare upon it with intrigue. This is a dragon who is naturally inquisitive. Cloudjumper might be more reserved and less bouncy than Toothless, but he’s still full of amusing personality!Ĭuriosity is a large, noticeable facet of Cloudjumper’s personality. With new acquaintances, Cloudjumper is more likely to be stiff, and with those he trusts and respects, more likely to be open, friendly, and goofy. Cloudjumper is an inquisitive and gentle dragon, and in those moments of curiosity, will let drop his regal airs. The way I see Cloudjumper is that he sometimes acts noble and reserved, but that he is under it all quite a big dork.
