Despite becoming increasingly entangled in and complicit with Jimmy's unethical behavior, often arguing on behalf of him, she was consistently conflicted over their actions together.

== Personality ==
Raised in a tumultuous environment by a neglectful mother and likely an absentee father, Kim overcame her challenging beginnings to become a highly intelligent and skilled negotiator with a promising career in law. During her initial years at Hamlin Hamlin McGill, she demonstrated her dedication and adherence to ethical and legal standards, despite the oppressive influence of Howard Hamlin. This dedication seemed to affirm her potential for a successful and principled career, and she was genuinely invested in it. She spoke to others in a professional yet considerate manner.
However, Kim’s personality took a dramatic turn with her involvement with Jimmy McGill. Initially drawn to Jimmy’s kindness and charisma, Kim’s admiration for him gradually led her to embrace and defend his morally ambiguous or unethical decisions, attempting to argue on behalf of his career despite him cutting corners and willingly participating in his con-man schemes for the thrill of it. Her transformation from a diligent lawyer to a manipulative businesswoman was marked by her increasing engagement and complicity in unethical practices, which culminates in her ruthless campaign alongside Jimmy to dismantle Howard Hamlin’s reputation.
After Howard was inadvertently murdered by this scheme, she was forced her to confront the depth of her moral failings. Overwhelmed by guilt and remorse, Kim made the difficult decision to sever ties with Jimmy and abandon the deceitful life she had embraced. In doing so, she reclaims the integrity she had once valued and sought redemption, eventually encouraging Jimmy to do the same on trial for his role in aiding Walter White.
