Between Wuk Lamat I see some parallels with Ysayle. Both were idealists who believed strongly in fighting for their own people.
What HW did very well is how Hreasvelgr totally shredded Ysayle's imagined utopian vision of how Dragons and People can live together.
That scene where he told her how stupid she was... it was shiver-inducing; it was both terrible and wonderful to watch.

Wuk Lamat should have had some similar type of awakening where her "childish idealism" is crushed / pulverized into smithereens... and then through some incredibly arduous transformation she can be redeemed or something (like, going off screen for a while)
The way how her untested idealism goes unchallenged really weakened her impact as a character -- also leading to very little character development.
