Biography[]
How to Train Your Dragon[]
Joining the same Dragon Training class as Hiccup, at first Ruff delights in taunting Hiccup over his poor performance although she doesn't have much success either due to the fact that she couldn't get along with her brother in battle. Later, however, when Hiccup displays an amazing talent for subduing the Dragons, she becomes his avid fan (often pushing and shoving Tuff to be the first to talk to him). Ruff seems to develop a crush on him and flirts with him (before Astrid pulls her away). Ruff decides to help Hiccup fight the Red Death and bond with the Zippleback that had been trapped in the training arena before.
To confront the Red Death, the twins mount a Hideous Zippleback, which fits their fractious relationship, the two naming the dragon Barf and Belch. Each head seems to agree with one of the twins in particular - Ruff taking Barf and Tuff Belch, and they ride it to great effect in the final battle and afterwards. Notably, they were the only ones not forced from their dragon in the final battle.
How to Train Your Dragon 2[]
Ruff has grown and, like the other Viking teens, plays Dragon Racing. She seems to be slightly a bit more mature than her brother, but in some ways she has shown that her childish acts still remain with her.
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World[]
At one point during the film, she got arrested by Grimmel the Grisly for being a dragon rider herself. Despite her incarceration by him, though, she repeatedly keeps annoying him with her numerous wits, prompting Grimmel to release her. However, this is also proven to be risky, as she indirectly gave to him some information about the island of New Berk, making him and the Northern Alliance's warlords after Drago Bludvist follow her traces to said island.
