- She does not speak in WarGames, despite being planned to for the cold open of Ambush, due to her line being cut for time. To make up for her lack of dialogue, Syp The Mighty made sure to include Kelen's rocket launcher, which she gained in the finale of Major Malfunction.
- Her first name is never stated in-series, with Syp coming up with it after the release of WarGames. During the production of Major Malfunction, its creators considered her first name to be Ember.
