* DisabilitySuperpower: Downplayed. While blinded, Astrid uses her hearing to 'see' what the other's can't, picking up on an approaching Stormfly just on her footsteps, and being able to tame Sleuther singlehandedly by confusing it using sound.
* FalseReassurance: Hiccup tries to comfort Astrid by pointing out that Bucket went blind temporarily when he was struck by lightning. Using a man who has to wear a bucket all the time as an example does not inspire confidence in her recovery.
