Despite this, she was very compassionate as she eventually made friends with Miranda.{{Ref/Film|Id=Homecoming|TV|Episode=[[Homecoming (TV Series)|Homecoming]]}} | |
| | |
| After removing her pellet, Kai slowly learned how to be human, showing a playful and competitive side. She showed off her strength by lifting heavy objects and even a Warthog with Marines cheering her on and betting against each other.{{Ref/Film|Id=Allegiance|TV|Episode=[[Allegiance]]}} Her favorite Covenant weapon was the [[Type-33 needler]].{{Ref/Reuse|Homecoming}}

| ==Equipment==
| |
| [[File:HTV-Kai incover.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kai-125 in Mark IV armor, with a M6G magnum during Operation: DEFIANT GLASS.]]
| |
| Kai employed the [[BERTA-class Mjolnir|Mark IV/b "Berta"]] helmet, developed alongside Spartan-specific variants of the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS]]. Kai had modified her suit with sniper targeting interlinks and "smart shot" interfaces suited for her long-range fighting style.

| {{Ref/Film|TV|Detail=[[Halo: The Television Series Season One#Paramount+ UK launch|London Premiere descriptions]]|Quote='''Kai-125 - Berta helmet''': Kai's Mk. IV/B helmet was developed alongside a Spartan-specific variation of the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Armor Defense System.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Kai-125's role in the TV series drew comparisons to that of [[Kelly-087]], who was [[John-117|Master Chief]]'s best friend in the main timeline, and [[Linda-058]], the sniper for Blue Team in the main timeline.{{Ref/Site|Page=Halo Show's Silver Team vs The Games' Blue Team: What's The Difference?|URL=https://screenrant.com/halo-silver-vs-blue-team-differences-spartans/|Site=ScreenRant|D=20|M=3|Y=2022}}
| |
| *Her role in season 2 took some aspects of [[Kurt Ambrose]], who was the trainer of the [[SPARTAN-III program]] in the main timeline. Kai's presumed death likewise mirrored the death of Kurt, who also sacrificed himself to obliterate a large number of Covenant forces and protect his comrades, and also that of [[Carter-A259]], who likewise died in a kamikaze attack. Her floating in space after her kamikaze attack on the Covenant supercarrier also mirrored Linda's own near-death.
