One of the core themes of Wakfu/Dofus is family. I mean, the premise of the Wakfu cartoon is literally "kid trying to find his ""true"" family." It's a show about people who want a family, who want this ideal of "people who won't leave you alone" or perhaps "people who will always love and support you," and what actual families are like. From Yugo & Adamai's soulmate-like bond, to Remington going through hell and highwater for his brother, to Nora and Efrim searching for their mother across the universe, to Otomai and his son Ogrest, to whatever the fuck is going on with the sons of Ecaflip.

But the harsh truth is... sometimes, your family just doesn't match with you. Sometimes, your family loves you, but in a very harmful way (I believe the Eliatrope goddess when she says she wants what's best for her kids, I however also think she has no idea of what would actually make them happy.) Sometimes, your family fucking hates you for circumstances beyond your control (Acham and Kerubim) or disagrees with you in fundamental ways that make it impossible for you to get along (Yugo and Adamai). And sometimes, your family just fucking sucks, and you've been building up this grand idea of a happy family in your head only to learn that your mother is a murderer (Joris) or your brother genocidal (Qilby).

In wakfu, "family" is a word for people who are tied to you. Inherently or not, by blood or by choice. And some of these ties are wonderful and uplifting, and some of these ties will make you want to kill them or yourself. Family is not a pretty thing. It's ressentment and hatred and rage. But sometimes there's love, too.
