...except that she was not cast out but rather, handed to Galool JaJa for her safety, and her father (who knows where the mother is), still cares enough for her to essentially rig the feat of repast for her.

So Koana basically got all this attachment towards her because he thought she was in the same position, but it's all based on a delusion.

I feel bad for Koana.
Part of me was hoping during the MSQ we'd get a similar thing like we did with Wuk, where we run into the birth parent/parents of Koana, or at least part of the nomadic clan he came from, maybe in Shaaloani for example, and get a small scene or two to kind of build that backstory part of his up a bit. It would've been one hell of a thing to find out where unlike Wuk's father, who gave her up to Gulool Ja Ja for her safety, Koana's parents left him legitimately because they didn't want him anymore and they could care less what became of him.

Unfortunately though, Koana is not named Wuk Lamat, so to me it kind of felt like the devs just picked a random prompt from the ol "Sad backstory hat" and just threw it in there for Koana as an easy character backstory to give him, and will most likely not be touched upon at all in the post-MSQ. But one can hope while inhaling the cope because Koana really is one of the best things about Dawntrail.
