History

Fialovy raised Shadow in his first few years of life but suddenly disappeared when he was a toddler. Then Fialovy returned, pregnant. Shadow would try talking to her but Fialovy would yell and insult him.
When Shadow was a teenager, Fialovy drugged his tea with heavy sleeping pills and had sexual intercourse with him while he was knocked out. After that night, Fialovy started being a loving mother and giving slight sexual hints as she craved a sexual relationship with Shadow. She would secretly masturbate while Imagining Shadow. She found an amnesia serum Malum had in his lab and would begin to force herself onto Shadow then inject him with the serum so would have no memory of what she did to him.

Nicknames & Petnames

Fialovy used to hate Shadow and would insult and yell at him. Years later, Fialovy began calling him pet names like Honey, Sweetie, Dear, and more. Fialovy insisted that Shadow call her Kaa-chan or Kaa-san. Shadow would sometimes refuse this request as he thought Kaa-chan was too childish for him.

Relationship Reasoning

Fialovy is in between loving Shadow and hating him. Shadow wants his mother's love, but he's convinced she's only pretending to love him so Malum won't be mad at her. One day, when Shadow was older, Malum was on a business trip, and Fialovy was so desperate for him, that she drugged her own son and violated him, as he was very similar looking to Malum. Instead, she fell in love and wanted a sexual relationship with him.

Shadow embraces his Japanese side more as it was something he didn't have in common with his father. It's also possible that he was doing it so Fialovy would love. He thought that if he was more like his mother then she would love him.
