(the contents of this thread is not meant to be taken in any offense to any specific gender. rather, i will be drawing comparisons to established opinions or facts)
__________________________________________________________________________
Personality:
okay so from what we can tell from the first scene with kale up until now, kale in her base form is very shy, and timid (some definitions of the word "shy" contains aspects or direct mention of timidity, but i think in kale's case, these two words should be mentioned separately at least for the first time). kale seems to have a very deep emotional connection to caulifla. from what i can tell, the theme of this connection seems to be either love, or both love and admiration. the nature of this connection is inferiority.
the reason this must be classified as a connection rather than a bond is because a bond goes both ways. a bond would be something in the center tying them both together. that's not what i am referring to. this connection is coming from kale and attaching to caulifla. obviously caulifla has her own connection towards kale, but it's a different connection to what kale has towards caulifla.
now it's time to draw some comparisons (this block is ONLY comparisons. not conclusions or explanations to why her power or personality makes sense). kale in her base form seems to be based on the stereotypical female. small, weak, emotional, dependent, etc. you know the kind of girl who isn't too comfortable around guys so she needs to cling to a more dependable female to get by. maybe she's also into girls.
so now when kale transforms you get an (stereotypical) angry feminist (now, i could make references to that time of month, but i'm not trying to be rude or offensive. so if you want, you can just imagine that i am making those references). she hates patriarchy so she becomes strong and bulky. she hates men so she tries to kill em. she wants everyone to listen to her so she has a loud voice. she wants to maintain her privilege so she has near invulnerability. she doesn't want to take responsibility for her actions, so she completely loses control.
i suppose you could also draw comparisons to the ex wife or ex girlfriend. no matter how you try to run away from her she keeps chasing you down.
Power:
we have to keep in mind that her super saiyan capabilities are extremely closely modeled after broly. to keep things simple i'll mainly be referencing episode 100. a lot of people are mad that LSS kale was able to stand up to SSB goku without receiving any damage. this is understandable if you don't take a deep look.
(these next three sentences is info about broly. not conclusions about kale's power) if you have played broly in most or all dragon ball games (confession, i've only played BT3 on the ps2, but i'm assuming it's like this in other games as well), he is damn near invulnerable. attacks from any character don't usually phase him. even in the movies attacks don't usually phase him.
when kale transformed in episode 100, her size increased a lot, but her mass increased EXPONENTIALLY. just walking around was enough to crack the arena floor beneath her, and that was incredibly dense material. it MAKES SENSE if she can tank almost ANY attack. of course she would also have the strength to support her mass, and be able to overpower anyone physically with a lot less mass. notice while battling against SS2 goku, she did not do any real damage to goku. this is because she is not more powerful than goku. she was only able to tank damage and use her weight to boost her strength.
this transformation is based on size and mass. this requires the strength, and durability to sustain the size and mass. all of this together gives her the ability to tank powerful attacks, and use her weight to boost the force behind her strikes, as well as her strength in general. because of her insane durability in particular, she can use as much strength as she wants without damaging herself, like how everyone unconsciously holds back on some of their strength to reduce risk of self harm. she does not have to worry about that (though she seems to be completely out of control when transformed. more evidence of not limiting her strength).
