## Background

Valka is Hiccup's long-lost mother, who has been living among dragons for the first twenty years of her life. It is revealed in a prequel comic how Valka and Stoick fell in love. They fought off a legion of Berserkers lead by Oswald when he was called "The Antagonisti" instead of the "Agreeable." The two would dance and sing at the victory celebrations. The betrothal gift Hiccup gave Astrid was previously given to Valka by Stoick and they eventually married.

At the age of twenty, Valka gave birth to Hiccup. Fourteen years prior to the first movie, Valka protested against the war against the dragons. However, no one would listen to her. One night, Valka saw a four-winged dragon enter her and Stoick's home, where their son was. Afraid the dragon was going to hurt Hiccup, Valka picked up a sword , thinking it was going to harm her son. However, she stopped when the dragon looked at Hiccup with idle curiosity and helped Valka realize dragons were exactly what she thought they were.
