Born in Carrara on Corellia, Keeya Maelii Desric Waryn, known to the galaxy as Keeya Waryn, grew up on the desert world Argai with her younger File:Keeya NB.png sister, Crislyn. Her childhood was, for the most part, a happy one spent playing in the fields and jungles. She completed her academic studies in the small village she lived in, choosing to stay with her mother, Leila Waryn, rather than attend the Ascaron Academy. She spent most of her free time working in the mechanic’s shop where her mother was employed. At age 18, she decided to leave home and travel around the galaxy. Not long after leaving home, she joined the Rebel Alliance and became caught up in the battle between good and evil.
