Kalpana is a very average person. That is, while she is very capable in many areas, she is by no means the very best (or even one of the best) in any of them. This feeling of mediocrity pervades her view of the world and she can be very tenacious in regards to anything that she considers to be 'her' area of expertise. For example, she has above average skill in piloting a solar sail vessel. If given a position of piloting such a craft, she would work very hard to keep somebody else from usurping her position, especially if she knew the person was less skilled than she. | Kalpana is a very average person.

In social situations, she tends to be friendly, but she avoids getting too close with others. In her mind, she has enough physiological issues to contend with, so she does not need to add personal relationships into the mix. | In social situations, she tends to be friendly, but she avoids getting too close with others. In her mind, she has enough physiological issues to contend with, so she does not need to add personal relationships into the mix. She has recently become closer to [[Falcon, Rho|Rho Falcon]], and while she is willing to allow the other woman into her quarters and other 'personal' spaces, it s not yet clear exactly how she feels in regards to Rho. | ||

Kalpana shares the majority of her culture's views, especially those regarding personal property. In her mind, there is a very clear line between Personal and Communal property, and never the twain shall meet. Things that she owns (such as personal effects, a change of clothes, her personal 'space' in her quarters, etc.) are ''hers'' and never to be used or entered without her permission. On the other hand, communal items (such as most replicated items, starships, shuttles, etc.) are meant to be used by the entire community; share and share alike. In her limited-resource culture, stealing - from either an individual or from the community - is one of the worst non-fatal crimes that could be committed. | Kalpana shares the majority of her culture's views, especially those regarding personal property.

While Kalpana can intellectually understand the occasional necessity to steal something that does not belong to you, it is extremely distasteful to her. She tries hard to understand the terran viewpoint, but they seem, to her, as if they do not care about such things, just smashing and stealing to suit their own needs. This kind of attitude and the mindless property damage inflicted by any number of Starfleet vessels appalls her at times. She's not about to give up her commission, but she did have a bit of a reputation in the Academy for submitting a fairly large number of formal protests concerning actions she was ordered to undertake. | While Kalpana can intellectually understand the occasional necessity to steal something that does not belong to you, it is extremely distasteful to her.
