* CripplingOverspecialization: Kal'tsit's kit is heavily geared towards amplifying the sheer power of [=Mon3tr=]'s offensive capabilities, but does not offer much in the way of increasing the versatility of her healing abilities compared to dedicated Medics, despite her longer range. If one tries to put her in a standard Medic role, they shouldn't be surprised that she performs poorly as a healer, especially since she prioritizes healing herself and [=Mon3tr=] over anyone else. Nevertheless, she brings a unique skillset and utility that is not seen in any Medic to date (except Folinic, to an extent), and ''will'' excel in a combat role as long as she sticks to it.

* BrokenPedastal: [[spoiler:"Babel" reveals that she was far more amicable to the Doctor in the past (the latter being her creator and thus the closest thing she had to a parent) until she learned that the Precursors, of whom the Doctor is a member, deliberately released Originium onto Terra with the intent of allowing it to cover the entire planet (and even created the native sophonts to help spread it via Oripathy) as part of a plan to save their own race from an unnamed problem. The pain of learning she was made to essentially genocide one planet to save another broke both her spirit and her trust in the Doctor, with the latter being so damaged that even with the Doctor undergoing amnesia that effectively killed their past self, she can't even begin to mend their relationship]].

* MamaBear: She's very protective of Amiya. In general, she has soft spot for a lot of orphans; she raised Folinic when her mother was killed by Ursus, she bought out Popukar from slavery after hearing that her slaver was abusive, and she pretty much admits that Red is her daughter in Chapter 8. Closure even notes that Kal'tsit picked up too many strays after seeing Heavyrain and what Kal'tsit had done to save her life in "Operation Intelligence". The events of "A Walk in the Dust" also detail that she went out of her way to help Passenger survive when he was younger, even though all she really needed to protect was the box that his professor asked him to safeguard.

* JerkassToOne: While she's obviously a very distant person, at worst she carries herself with passive-aggressive professionalism against someone like [[SleazyPolitician Wei Yenwu]]. However, she doesn't even try to hide her dislike of the Doctor and openly tells them she hates them and wants nothing more than to take revenge.

* {{Healing Potion}}: Unlike most medics at Rhodes Island, Myrrh utilizes a uniquely indigenous method of mixing her medicine, preferring to use herbs and witchcraft over the modern methods. [[IfItTastesBadItMustBeGoodForYou While surprisingly effective, her medicine isn't very popular among other operators]].

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:Amiya has [[TheEmpath empath]] abilities, but she keeps them secret from Kal'tsit, and even encourages Frostleaf to do the same when she found out about Amiya's hidden powers. [[SubvertedTrope By the time of Chapter 7 however, Kal'tsit is already aware of it.]]]]

* DefectorFromDecadence: Episode 6 reveals that [[spoiler:she used to work for the Ursus Empire. However, she correctly predicted that Ursus would try to steal her research and was narrowly able to escape.]]

* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:"Lonetrail" reveals that Kal'tsit is the Doctor's personal adjutant for the last ten thousand years and that they've always worked close together ever since her creation and thus has always been trusted by the Doctor to do the right thing for their collective goal of protecting the planet; [[DownplayedTrope however]], just because she's firmly loyal to the Doctor to never betray that trust in her, Kal'tsit has not and continues to personally not ''like'' the Doctor due to their differences in personality and how they express themselves in that common objective of protecting Terra, in the end, Kal'tsit doesn't at any point [[StrictlyProfessionalRelationship try to personally bridge that gap between them because it wouldn't serve to benefit either of them]].]]

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Episode 11 reveals that her loyalty to Kazdel comes from the fact that '''''she''''' was the one responsible for destroying it in the first place through orchestrating a collaborated offense on the country with the help of Victoria, Gaul, and Leithania's armies, which led to the subsequent desolate conditions of its people, something she considers a deep enough crime she had wrought on them that she forgoes doing such an act again. When Theresa jokingly asked her at one time if she would commit the same violence upon Columbia for declaring its independence, Kal'tsit dismissed the notion as she just "[[ThatManIsDead isn't that person anymore]]".]]

** Episode 11 reveals that [[spoiler:200 years ago, she led a coalition to destroy Kazdel under the pretext of "if you don't destroy them, they will destroy Terra", further promoting discrimination of the Sarkaz and leaving them in a state of disunion]]. However Episode 12 [[spoiler:[[ZigzaggedTrope implies]] she had no choice in the matter due to the systematic annihilation of Kazdel over the eons to prevent a bigger calamity emerging as a consequence of what [[{{Precursors}} the original Sarkaz civilization]] did that turned Terra into the hellhole it is now, and [[ArtificialIntelligence as a component of a system meant to preserve life]], she was compelled to [[TheNeedsOfTheMany ensure that life would be protected]] even if it meant destroying just as many lives back then.]]

* BrokenBird: If the lyrics to ''Immutable'' are any indication, Kal'tsit is ''used'' to loss. [[spoiler:Due to her sheer lifespan, she has had to cope with innumerable death, not limited to Theresa and Folinic's mother, Lillia]]. Nevertheless, she is still determined to press on and work towards improving the world, but she is extremely [[SourOutsideSadInside callous]] as a result. [[spoiler:It is clear that Kal'tsit very rarely expresses her emotions earnestly.]]
* CatsAreMean: She's a snarky and rude Feline. Granted, unlike some examples, [[GoodIsNotNice she]] isn't evil.

* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_3jfX5kVNs "Miss You"]]

** Old Isin's prophetic dreams reveal [[spoiler:she was at the Kheshig's conquest of the golden sands, which happened thousands of years ago.]] "Stultifera Navis" further ups the ante [[spoiler:with her explicitly stating her age as being in the ''tens of thousands.'']]

** Amiya's module makes the implication that [[spoiler:Kal'tsit is an organic ArtificialIntelligence created by the [[{{Precursors}} precursor civilization]] as an [=AMa=] unit; meant to work in tandem with the Civilight Eterna, or the "Black Crown", to aid in cataloguing the world's history and make an active effort in averting the same fate that befell their civilization.]] Lonetrail [[spoiler:outright confirms Kal'tsit is a sort of biological computer known as [=AMa=]-10 created by the {{Precursors}} to specifically aid the Doctor as their ''servant'' according to Preserver, the AI built around Trevor Friston's mind.]]

* BreakHerByTalking: In Chapter 6, she is able to [[spoiler:practically destroy Crownslayer's loyalty to Reunion with a single conversation about her family and what happened to Crownslayer's father in Ursus]].
* BrokenBird: If the lyrics to ''Immutable'' are any indication, Kal'tsit is ''used'' to loss. [[spoiler:Due to her sheer lifespan, she has had to cope with innumerable death, not limited to Theresa and Folinic's mother, Lillia.]] Nevertheless, she is still determined to press on and work towards improving the world, but she is extremely [[SourOutsideSadInside callous]] as a result. [[spoiler:It is clear that Kal'tsit very rarely expresses her emotions earnestly.]]

* DefectorFromDecadence: Episode 6 reveals that [[spoiler:she used to work for the Ursus Empire. However, she correctly predicted that Ursus would try to steal her research and was narrowly able to escape]].

* DubInducedPlotHole: In Darknights' Memoir, following [[spoiler:the death of Theresa and the fall of Babel]] W is shown fighting in the ruins of Kazdel with other Sarkaz mercs that had belonged to the previous organizations. When held by the collar, one reveals that [[spoiler:he saw the walls of Babel painted red with the blood of his own, directly following a mention of Kal'tsit's name, suggesting she took bloody revenge for Theresa's death.]] This was left untranslated in the English version.
* EnergyWeapon: In the story, [=Mon3tr=] is able to fire rays of energy from its mouth to destroy targets. However, it can't do this in-game, instead opting to use its claws. [[note]] Back when Kal'tsit was playable in the Beta, it was able to, via her third skill. [[/note]]

* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Kal'tsit's second talent, '''Non-Damaging Restructuring''', causes Mon3tr to explode upon death, meaning that if an enemy manages to kill it, they might very well be caught in the explosion and be killed themselves.

** In Vigilo, [[spoiler:she opposed the Doctor's suggestion to exile Marco, claiming that it's not prudent to release a soldier who openly attacked his commander]].
** She also [[spoiler:wanted Scout punished for a failed mission, while the Doctor argues against it, citing Scout's record and the fact that he managed to avoid casualties as he retreated]].

* ImageSong: [[https://youtu.be/bZqOYWozoMs "Immutable"]].

* ResurrectiveImmortality: Her module's description reveals [[spoiler:that Kal'tsit can indeed die, but she can resurrect herself, and has done so multiple times throughout history.]] In Chapter 11, [[spoiler:Theresis mentions that he personally slew Kal'tsit 200 years in the past and witnessed her resurrection.]]

* TooMuchAlike: Revealed details of her past in Episode 11 give the heavy implication that [[spoiler:her and the pre-amnesia Doctor's mutual dislike of each other, which she told the current Doctor in Episode 7, stem from both having committed ruthless actions for greater goals]].

** Episode 11 reveals that [[spoiler:200 years ago, she led a coalition to destroy Kazdel under the pretext of "if you don't destroy them, they will destroy Terra", further promoting discrimination of the Sarkaz and leaving them in a state of disunion]]. However Episode 12 [[spoiler:[[ZigzaggedTrope implies]] she had no choice in the matter due to the systematic annihilation of Kazdel over the eons to prevent a bigger calamity emerging as a consequence of what [[{{Precursors}} the original Sarkaz civilization]] did that turned Terra into the hellhole it is now, and [[ArtificialIntelligence as a component of a system meant to preserve life]], she was compelled to [[TheNeedsOfTheMany ensure that life would be protected]] even if it meant destroying just as many lives back then]].

* ImageSong: "[[https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1AY411A7jB/ Bluish Light]]".

* CordonBleughChef: Her lunchboxes are nutritious and edible, but they also taste horrible. The Doctor (an ExtremeOmivore) has even tried to get Vigna to eat them instead, much to her dismay.
