Despite this, she was very compassionate as she eventually made friends with Miranda.[9]
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.[10] Her favorite Covenant weapon was the Type-33 needler.[9]
Equipment
Kai employed the 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. [11]
