Abstract

This study analyzes the character transformation of Hiccup in the animated film How to Train Your Dragon (2010) as a reflection of identity development and resistance to societal norms. The research aims to explore how Hiccup's relationship with the dragon Toothless shapes his journey of self-discovery, from a misunderstood adolescent to a visionary leader. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study draws on three main theoretical frameworks: Egri’s Character Arc Theory, Tajfel’s Social Identity Theory, and Serpell’s Human-Animal Relationship Theory. Data was collected through in-depth scene analysis, focusing on narrative structure, visual cues, and character interactions. The results show that Hiccup's transformation is driven by empathy, emotional intelligence, and moral courage. His rejection of traditional Viking values of violence and dominance marks a turning point that not only redefines his personal identity but also initiates cultural change within his community. The study concludes that character development in film can effectively illustrate the psychological and social processes of identity reconstruction. Hiccup’s journey highlights the power of compassion and authenticity in challenging prejudice and fostering inclusive leadership. Keywords: Character transformation, Identity development, Human-animal relationship.
