It doesn’t fix anything else, but I don’t understand why they didn’t just use the arc that the story offered her.

The Rite of Succession, which could be shorter, established Wuk Lamat as a well intentioned but naive optimist. She grows a bit but remains steadfast in that happiness and peace can be achieved with talk and tacos. She gets everything she has ever wanted when she becomes Dawnservant with her brother. Act I ends. Joy and smiles all around.

We spend unknown time in Shaaloani and the Dome appears. In a matter of *days*, Wuk Lamat goes from living her dream life to being on a quest to kill a sibling and having lost both parental figures. She is not established as a stoic, cool under pressure character who is steeped in years of loss and wisdom. She is a naive optimist - that has just lost everything to betrayal. Her world view should be shattered at this point in the story.

Wuk Lamat learning to choose love and peace and optimism and tacos not out of naivety but in the face of deep loss is a great potential character arc. It’s a shame she didn’t get it, but there was apparently already too much happening to take the time to treat the expansion’s ‘main character’ as an actual person experiencing and responding to the events happening to them.
