Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

Guys let's not forget there were literal attempts on her life, as a child no less. Besides, I don't think Koana meant to treat her like family her because he thought she was all alone, it seemed clear to me he did so because he didn't want her to grow alone like he did.

On the other hand, it is weird that there was an attempted murder and the king just goes "Don't worry, I'll adopt her". It's not necessarily a bad story beat, but again, there's such a crucial lack of flashbacks or any in-depth explanation of the past, which is a shame because we literally have the Echo to explore such things. And by weird I do mean that if he truly did adopt her just for that, then there'd be 34 more Promises fighting for the throne.

EDIT: Actually thinking about it it's even weirder to consider he adopted her because he knew there'd be more attempts on her life because of an unresolved conflict and just ... proceeded to keep ignoring that conflict. I swear with every question comes three more.
