**Despite saying so, Kalina doesn't actually give the player any discounts in the store. However, she sends everyday a mail titled “Kalina's Daily Gift of Thanks” containing some resources.* During [[Continuum Turbulence]], Kalina stated that in the case she happens to get KIA, she wishes to be reborn as a "Big Fat Tabby Cat". <ref>[[Continuum Turbulence]], Unknown Enemy</ref> During the next April Fool's day, her chibi sprite actually turned into one. How'd that happen...?
