Hiccup.

P was born with the vertebral, anal, renal, and limb anomalies that are all a part of VACTERL Association. P and his twin sister, R, have been obsessed with HTTYD for about a year and a half now. We own both movies and all DVD series, own all of the action figures, play HTTYD by channeling our inner viking (and dragon), and we dream of owning a real-life Toothless and Stormfly one day. P and R had a HTTYD-themed 4th birthday party this spring, and asked my mom to make Stormfly and Hiccup costumes for Halloween this year. When I asked P why he wanted to be Hiccup, he said, "Because of his metal leg! This one is my metal leg," and pointed to his right foot. My heart melted inside my chest. Thank you, @dreamworksanimation for making a character as cool as Hiccup, who happens to have a pretty cool prosthesis. Now, if you could just let us know where we could find a real Toothless and Stormfly, that would be great ... the kids have saved a place in their beds for each of them.
