"If even a little of that resolve you have now degrades, I'll kill you." — Kite, to Koala[1] |
Kite (カイト, Kaito) is Meruem's twin sister and a member of the Chimera Ant royal family. She was originally named Reina (レイナ, Reina), after Colt's sister, but took to calling herself Kite.
Appearance
Despite being a Chimera Ant, Kite looks like a girl with long red hair, purple eyes, and freckles covering her face. She has a rat-like tail. She wears black leather suit and pants.
Personality
During her initial introduction, Kite was an enthusiastic child, still playing with stuffed toys and swords, and still watched over Colt. As the time passed by, she matured and remembers the former Kite's memories. She has shown to value life, and not to always dwell on the past.[1]
Plot
Chimera Ant arc
Kite is born.
Kite is reborn prematurely as a tiny infant after Meruem forcibly breaks open the Queen's abdomen to come to the world. After finding her in the Queen's remains, Colt, a division commander extremely loyal to the Queen swears to protect her at all costs.[2] She is then raised by him like a normal human being so that both of them are granted protection by Morel. Despite that, she still grows at the rate of a regular Chimera Ant and by the end of the Chimera Ant crisis, she already looks like a young girl in early childhood.
13th Hunter Chairman Election arc
Little Kite with Colt.
The Hunters Association has classified her and Colt as magical beasts to keep them from being hunted down. It is revealed that she has Kite's memories, probably because the Queen devoured his brain right before conceiving her or because of one of Kite's Crazy Slots abilities.[3]
Koala confesses to Kite
When she is seen again, Kite looks older and talks with Koala and after listening to his story, she proposes to him to stay by her side forever, to atone for his sins as his life as a human and as a Chimera Ant. Then, Gon appears and apologizes to Kite for Neferpitou's incident, and says that they both need more training and that next time, he will protect her, fighting by her side. Both of them smile and Kite says that she is delighted that Gon came to see her and that he should go after Ging, saying that when she will need help, she will contact him and Killua. They say goodbye to each other and Gon goes to find Ging.[1] Kite is then seen again with Gon, Koala, and the Amateur Hunters, watching a flock of Small-billed Swans.[4]
