Most interestingly, Kes' burgeoning telepathic ability promised a darker side to the young Ocampa.
Balancing kindness and toughness would’ve made Kes a stronger character, especially when her powers developed.
Arguably, Kes attacked Tanis in self-defense, but she also didn’t have to gothatfar.

Kes embodiesStar Trek’s visionby believing kindness and cooperation will always triumph over evil.
It’s a unique premise that couldonlywork with Kes, because of her short lifespan and telepathic abilities.
