Despite the hardships she endured during the [[Vaadwaur occupation]], she remains resilient and upbeat. She prides herself on her composure, dignity, and professionalism, and during the occupation, her fellow insurgents called her their shining light in those darkest of hours. Maintaining these traits are especially important to her because she had promised her friend {{N|Jennifer|Brockton}} that she would always stay the strong person that Brockton knew her as. Brockton herself did not survive to see Starfleet's liberation of the station. Although Kadosh was promoted for her actions during the occupation, she does not like to discuss what happened. | ||
