Rosethorn (Art by AnijuAura, colored by CattyTheOrchid16)
Sonja's dragon is Rosethorn, a Poison Striker.
Her relationship with her dragon is a close-knitted one. Though every relationship has a start. Though some relationships start off as awkward or embarrassing, Sonja and Rosethorn's relationship started off as... chaotic. The second Sonja saw the Poison Stinger, she did what every normal Viking would do, kill it. Luckily, Rosethorn escaped before the girl could kill her.
They crossed paths a few more times until after the events of the movie, in which their relationship got a little bit better. During a visit to Berk to enhance the alliance between the two tribes, she talked to Hiccup about the peculiar Poison Stinger she keeps on running into and how the dragon keeps on trying to attack her for no good reason, Hiccup gave her a suggestion to train it.
After a few tries, she successfully trained Rosethorn and soon became one of the best Dragon-Viking team on Lason.
