1. Is vengeance a driving force for your character? Why? How important is it to them? Yes. It's not the sole driving force in her life, but she holds grudges forever. People who have wronged her or her people (whether the wrong be big or small, or whether her or her people were in fact in the wrong or not) deserve to be punished. She spent over two decades sending reminders of her kidnapped childhood friend's last night before disappearing, to the people who failed to take young Root's reports seriously. Later, we see her grow vicious in her search for Shaw, and she's only too happy to murder the woman who shot Shaw nearly to death.
2. Has your character committed/completed a major act of vengeance? If so, what did that mean to them? How long ago was it? For Root, revenge is her right, taking justice into her hands. Months or a year ago, she murdered Shaw's almost killer. It wasn't as satisfying as she wanted it to be. The decades-long torment inflicted on the people who failed her in her youth meant everything to her, the only way to even begin to avenge her friend's kidnapping. It only ended when the protags solved the case and got her friend a proper burial.
3. Has anyone ever sought/taken vengeance on your character? Was it deserved? How much did it impact them? Root has a gift for disappearing and avoiding consequences. That said, Shaw got a chance to shoot her in retaliation for that one time Root kidnapped her, she yeah, she deserved it. It was kinda hot, if she's honest.
4. Has any of the above happened on the barge? If so, where? Which people were involved? Nope! But the odds are high she'll end up involved in a revenge plot somehow before she starts to get better.
5. Is there anything in particular you DON'T want Kahl to know about your character? If so, it will be chalked up to his partial barge nerfs. Nah, have fun with it!

Also, separately, in terms of general god vision,

5. Is your character inhuman, or do they have anything strange going on with the state of their spirit/soul? If so, can Kahl have a sense of what's up with that, even if he doesn't have the language from his own canon to understand it? Does having a cochlear implant that's modified to facilitate to receive direct communication from an artificial superintelligence she considers a god... count? Have fun with it!
