Keiko (66 BBY) is a girl haunted by the memories of a life she was forced to abandon. Like all members of her race she was born into the lush forests of Sylaria and raised by a patient mother and a loving father. She had a relatively normal Sylarian childhood until one day her parents were taken from her and she was forced to leave her beautiful home. Since then she has become bitter and cynical about life and the universe in general. Her master, though patient with her unpleasant attitude, has become greatly concerned about her well-being. Hatred is a path that leads to the dark side and Keiko's heart is filled to bursting with it.
