Due to the camaraderie between Kovan and her longtime friend and squad mate Bonita Stone, the latter is often able to prompt Kovan to joke, smirk, or even snort.{{Ref/Reuse|rp14}}{{Ref/Reuse|rp24}} Stone notably was known to be the only one who could make Kovan laugh.{{Ref/Reuse|whm}} The two held a close bond; Kovan empathized and reassured Stone when they considered whether Fry and Kidman survived the battle over Installation 07;{{Ref/Reuse|rp14}} when the two reunited after the battle of the ''Mortal Reverie'', Kovan revealed her vulnerable and weakened condition—due to her armor's malfunctioning density regulator—to Stone.{{Ref/Reuse|rp24}} Kovan was visibly sad and grieving when she found Stone's body,{{Ref/Reuse|rp30}} and upon hearing the name of Stone's killer from Horvath, she dropped her calm demeanor and gripped Horvath closely, allowing him to see the pain and fury in her eyes.{{Ref/Reuse|rp31}} Although Kovan was initially quite cold and blunt to members of the boat crew,{{Ref/Reuse|rp14}}{{Ref/Reuse|rp15}} she grew to care for each member, especially for Browning—who saved the lives of the boat crew by distracting Banished pursuers while Kovan's armor locked her in place—the guilt and pain made her consider launching a rescue on Browning when she learned that he was being held at Outpost Tremonius. When she could not escape with Browning, she made a promise to rescue him and felt heartbreak.{{Ref/Reuse|rp26}}

Due to the guilt and pain of this incident, Kovan considered breaking out Browning by herself when she learned that he was being held at Outpost Tremonius. When she could not escape with Browning, she was gripped with heartbreak and made a promise to rescue him eventually.{{Ref/Reuse|rp26}}
