Sometime after her son's birth, Valka had made Hiccup a toy dragon that has his name stitched onto one of its sides. One night during a dragon raid, Valka had left Hiccup in his crib while she tries to stop the madness between her people and the dragons, until she sees one breaking into their house and dashed back to her baby's side before any harm could come to him, but when she got there the dragon and her son seemed to be enjoying each other's company until the Stormcutter accidently scratched his small chin. After Stoick came to his family's aid by first setting their infect son away from the flames, Valka was taken by the dragon before Stoick could do anything; while Hiccup begins to cry as he helplessly watches his mother disappearing into the sky. Stoick had tried to find Valka after that night, but after many failed searches for her everyone began to believe that she was killed by the dragon that took her away, leaving Hiccup to grow up without his mother. While the toy she made for him scared into throwing it into the sea during a fishing trip, along with it giving him many sleepiness nights.

Years later, when Hiccup became a teenager, the toy dragon was eventually found in a fishing net and was being brought back to Berk through Trader Johann, until he lost it. Hiccup knew that his father was expecting Johann but wasn't told what he was bring to the chief, until Hiccup and his friends found the stranded trader and learned that the item is actually for him and that it is from his mother. After hearing this Hiccup became determined to find in, despite the dangers of the island it is on. With help from his friends and their dragons, Hiccup his able to retrieve the chest it is in and bring it back to Berk, where he opens it with his father. Once Hiccup saw his childhood toy a few memories of it came back to him, as Stoick tells Hiccup that Valka had made it when he was a baby and it became to be lost and found. The thought of his mother did make Hiccup a little sad, since he was very little when she was taken, but is also happy to have the toy that he now loves back in his life. Stoick tells Hiccup that Valka would be happy to hear him say that.

Valka, however, wasn't killed by the dragon but was brought to a far way dragon nest that became her new home.

How to Train Your Dragon 2
After Hiccup became aware of Drago and flew off on Toothless in hopes that he'll be able to reason with the man before a war breaks out upon Berk, he comes across a masked warrior, who he had mistaken for his father until he got a good look at the mysterious figure. Before he knew it, the masked dragon rider has one of their other dragons pull Hiccup striate off Toothless's back so they could take the two to their nest. Where the dragon rider observes the way Hiccup acts around a few of the nest's dragons without doing anything to harm them, along with him being worried about his own dragon, and once the masked rider saw the small scar on Hiccup's chin she realized that the young Night Fury rider is her son. At first Hiccup didn't know how the mysterious dragon rider knows his name, as he didn't recognize the woman's face when she removed her mask, while the woman was surprised to see him as some joy in her eyes. So he asks the woman if he knows her, to which has her revealing herself as his long lost mother, Valka.

Hiccup was shocked by this and had trouble believing the woman, as he grew up being told that his mother had been killed by dragons and then out of no where a mysterious dragon rider woman clams to be her. Once Hiccup saw the rest of the nest's dragons who were saved by her, Valka is glad to hear Hiccup saying that he likes the sanctuary's beauty and that he doesn't think of her as "boring".

Behind the Scenes
In one of the deleted scenes from the third film, Valka tells Hiccup that while she understands his desire to keep Toothless safe and close to him there is a fine line between being a protector and a capturer.

Fanon

A similar idea is used in AUs where Hiccup does runaway with Toothless and somehow comes across Valka as she takes him and Toothless in.
