Apperance:

Blond with sky blue eys, regular white skin tone, & a slender face with a wiry build.  He is usually dressed in his regular stable boy outfit, which consists of a sky blue tunic with riding straps, brown breeches, bracers, & shoes.  However, he doesn't like being labeled a stable boy in everything, so sometimes he can be seen wearing a different sky blue tunic with a brown fur jacket, long brown breeches & fur tipped boots.  Also wears a tattered brown belt that carries some of his most valuable possesions which include his precious notebook, a fox pendent, & a small pocketknife with many intricate designs.

Personality:

Carl is cunning, sarcastic, outgoing, brave, clever, mistevious, emotional, loyal, stubborn, reckless, compassinate, & just somtimes a little crazy.  (Jumping off a cliff? Great idea.  Jump onto the back of a flaming monsterous nightmare? sure, why not?)  Carl is known for his witty quips & stubborness to give up in battle.  Blind stupidity is one of his best allies when it comes to fighting, although it can be called recklessness or stubborness to give up by others.  He's not much of a fighter though, mostly due to the fact he is not built for it.  Carl is known to be more of a laid back have fun all day kind of guy.  Even though he would prefer to avoid his friends getting hurt, he'll fight to the bitter end to help his friends if they need his help.

He is also known to be somewhat of a slacker.  While he will do something without question if its important, he will test the limits of anyone's patience if he can get away with it.  He will use his clever quips & quick thinking to get out of the work, & keep brushing it off untill someone gets mad.  Thats when he'll either do what hes told with quote "intrest" or avoid the person for a couple weeks.  When he does a good job at something or wins at a race (which is actually really rare) he will blow it up into some big thing & will brag about it.  He seeks glory, fame, & fortune in nearly everything he does: as a school of dragons student, as a dragon racer, as a dragon rider, & really anything else he can find to brag about.

But even through all of that, he has a much softer side he keeps hidden.  He's selfless to a fault, sometimes a bit shy, compassionate, heroic, & undaunted by anything that stands in his way.  He would like lots of friends, but due to the fact he's not much to look at & somewhat clumsy, he doesn't make that many.  The few he has he keeps close to himself & his heart.  He likes to joke with those few friends: its his way of saying he loves them.  While he is all those things, dig a little deeper & you will find out he is not above revenge if his friends were hurt.  If you did touch a hair of any of his friends heads, he would hunt you down & make you pay dearly.  Most importantly, his strong light-hearted spirit is nearly impossible to break, no matter what is going on in the world around him.  His motto is live & let fly, which describes him perfectly.

Strengths:

Brave, humorous, clever, strong spirited, heroic, kindhearted, undyingly loyal, & quick thinking

Flaws/Weaknesses:

questionable behavior, reckless, can never turn down a bet, is very sensitve about being picked on because of his size & strengh, worthless with any weapon heavier then a bow, extreamly dislikes cold weather, a bit of a glory hog, has a touch of arthritus (in the cold at least, which is strange for a boy his age)

Wost fear:

his friends getting hurt because of him (he also has a secret fear of bunny rabbits >:D  they are so evil)

Abilities:

Excellent dragon flyer & racer, ok archer, handles bad circumstances well (for the most part), extreamlly talented saddle designer

Weapons:

His pocket knife, his broom (claims it to be a weapon), & his bow & arrow

Due to the fact Carl is much weaker then most vikings, he can't lift any kind of weapon beyond a bow & dagger.  So, he has commited himself to learn how to work well with the weapons he can handle.  He has practiced for many years, & has now taught himself how to use a bow & arrow.  He also is pretty decent with the use of his pocket knife, even though he hasn't really found a time to use it yet.  He uses his bow skills while in a fight & the wild, usually hunting, & for killing off the wild boars that attack his families sheep.

Backstory:

Carl is the son of Kendel Henderson & Burtha Henderson.  He has 9 other siblings, 8 girls, & one little brother.  In order it goes Rose, Magnolia, Crystal, Carl, Jenny, Sara, kaylee, Mary, Melody, & Jeremy.  (Crazy, right? XD)  His family is just an ordinary viking home.  His father was a blacksmith, untill he married his mother & became a sheperd.  He grew up as somewhat a normal viking.  He was always a nusanse when he was younger, (according to his older sisters) & was much smaller & weaker then all the other viking boys his age.  He always wanted to be able to throw axes like the other boys & be able to sit in with his father when he told stories in the great hall, but never was allowed because he was somewhat of an enbarresment.  Its not that his mother & father didn't love him: they were just content with keeping him up at their little farm far far away from regular village life.

His chance finally came when the school of dragons opened.  He begged his parents to let him go, & finally after 4 long months of begging, he was allowed to leave for a year to learn to be a dragon rider & train his own dragon.  He was excited to finally get his permission slip, but when the letter finally came, it was stamped with the worst job there was.  Stable boy.  Carl was extreamlly annoyed & depressed that he had received the job of the least valuable type of rider, but he accepted it with open arms.  He left his disappointed parents, & went to the school keeping himself hidden most of the time in the hatchery.  While he was there helping Hiccup with some dragons he'd just rescued, he met his sweet wraith, Zander, who shares his love for trouble & adventure.  The two have been together ever since, preforming fancy tricks & pulling the most ridiculous of pranks.  For a while it was just him & Zander.  He liked it that way, & wanted it to be just him & his dragon forever.  However, his plans changed once he met Pearl.  

He met Pearl, his best friend later in his time at the school when he finally got the chance to prove himself by rescuing a Singetail from a group of hunters on auction island.  At first, he & Pearl didn't like eachother very much, but after their little adventure they grew very attached to eachother & became friends.  Later, he even developed a personal liking to her, & a while after meeting the two began to court eachother.  After his year at the school, Carl returned to Berk & still resines there.  He took up the role of a sheperd boy to help his father, & still practices his archery & racing with Zander whenever he has the time. He even plans on opening a little business of his own, creating unique saddles for dragons & their riders.  He spends most of his time with Pearl, going on the most crazy & apsurd of adventures.  He often wants to leave Berk to explore distant lands, but he only shares his deepests longings with Pearl, mostly because she's the only person who will actually listen to him without brushing him off.  He has spent many nights with her, flying across the open breezy waves.
