==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.
