PERSONALITY,
Gruff is an overall shy dragon, particularly around new people that he doesn't recognize by smell or voice, he isn't overly aggressive to strangers, but he usually approaches them with a skittish caution born from the traumatic experiences that have left him completely blind. He is extremely sensitive to the stimuli around him, to the feelings and emotions of other dragons and people, and tends to be very empathetic and compassionate, especially to those who are injured or sick. His shyness does not mean that Gruff isn't brave though, and if it came down to it he would do whatever it took to protect those he's loyal to, once you befriend this dragon you have made a friend for life.
He has the unique ability to affect other dragons and sometimes people by the vibrations given off from shaking his frills, and his overall gentle disposition make him an excellent nursemaid to children and elderly. Despite the things done to him by the trappers, he is not altogether hostile to humans, and approaches them with a cautious curiosity rather than suspicion.
He is an overall positive, cheerful dragon despite all that has been done to him, far from helpless despite being completely blind, it's easy to underestimate the shy dragon as weak or useless, and Gruff wants nothing more than to prove otherwise.

HISTORY,
Gruff hatched wild, his flock had no contact with humans for much of his younger years, living on an island too remote to really catch the eye of the humans who were pushing their bounds farther and farther. The first contact he had with humans, he was injured and caught in a tree snare trap, aware of nothing but the distressed sounds of the rest of his flock, his family, as they were rounded up in less than kind ways to be shipped off to who knew where.
The young dragon was left to die, assumedly because he was blinded and seen as no use to whatever the humans wanted the rest for, and Gruff would have died hanging helplessly were it not for the woman and her Stormcutter who freed him. He didn't trust the woman at first, she smelled too much of humans, too much of the ones who captured his family and left him in the dark, but after gentle coaxing from both her and the dragon by her side, the young Hobblegrunt followed her to her sanctuary, where they promised he would be safe.
He found comfort here, with the strange woman and her dragon, and saw that as an end to his fears and and end to the need to be afraid. When Drago attacked the sanctuary, Gruff was lost in the confusion, stranded when most of the dragons made their way to Berk, with no one to guide him there, Gruff has had to find his own way to where the rest of his new family went, determined not to lose them a second time.
