- Kayle's view of justice is idealistic eye for an eye based around law, she believes that every crime deserves punishment proportionate to its scale and that you are redeemed after you have been punished.[22]
- Kayle's Transcendent form is her current appearance over the last 100 years as she strives to be as close to her mother, the former Aspect of Justice, as possible.[22]
- Kayle suppresses the feelings of her mistakes because she fears that she was wrong and is becoming a monster.[22] But with time spent on Targon, she seems to accept her emotions and human part.
