Your two characters are pretty one dimensional, and that dimension is...unflattering to say the least.

Daisy is a...what’s the nice way of putting this...a paper doll? Whatever life, hope, dreams and relationships she had up until initiation she immediately discards them to follow Oro when he loses a leg instead of...oh i dunno, trying initiation again? How much guilt do you think one can feel for a person that you presumably just met that day, since she wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the backstory, and who was mentally unaffected by losing a leg and managed to live his life peachy keen? Not enough to drop all your dreams, I’ll tell you that.

As for his mother, well she's a...what’s the nice way of putting this...a pointless idiot? Foster care is a thing, and there is no reason to assume a universe with human eating beasts wouldn’t have at least a couple of those things lying around. So if she hated him so badly, put him there, let her sort her shit out, and let the kid grow up in an environment that, although potentially crowded, has a high chance to be an improvement. Unless you’re trying to imply she did care about him enough to keep him, at which point i will have to ask why she berated the dude when he lost a leg as opposed to...oh i dunno, be relieved he was alive and not mauled?

TLDR: Try handling your side characters with as much care as the main one. Bold text
