Biography
History: Before we meet Keelin, she was a normal girl. Keelin Brianna Taylor was raised by older parents, Thomas and Bethany Taylor. A couple who found her outside the firehouse where her father worked; her parents were fairies though many did not know this. Keelin doesn’t know her birth parents. Her birth mother a child herself when she dropped Keelin off at the firehouse, not prepared for the future of being a mother. Which protected Keelin from being killed along with the rest of her bloodline. Keelin had considered going looking for information in her birth parents till she was 14 when she triggered her werewolf gene when she accidentally killed someone at a halloween party. She handed another child a chocolate bar that had nuts in it and the person has an allergic reaction and died, triggering her werewolf gene. After that she didn’t want to know more about her birth parents. Her adopted parents loved her and they were all she needed. Helping her to rebuild after the trauma. She went to college, wanting to do something more with her life, to make up for the life she had taken. She went to college knowing she wanted to be a doctor. It was just as she started med school that her parents died of old age of things that she couldn’t fight and she had to say goodbye to them. She didn’t know her place in the world anymore without their support. But she tried her best to keep going with her dreams. Hoping that she would start to feel whole again. That happened when she met Freya. The not so positive start turned into something amazing for them, leading to their beautiful family with the help of their friend Vincent. Keelin and Freya lived in New Orleans in the Compound and welcome their first two children into the world before the dead returned and they became trapped in the prison world. I think Freya and Keelin likely moved out of the Compound when the dead returned to get some space, and leave the Compound to Freya's brothers. In the prison world, Keelin has been working as a doctor at the new orleans hospital, she was also the first to learn that the children/some people could die and do not return like the parents did. During the rain and flooding in New Orleans, Keelin became trapped under a fallen part of old building. When she was found by Hope, she was very injured, Hope fed her her blood in the hopes of healing her, however when she took the piece of wood/roof off Keelin, the shock caused her heart to fail and she died, returning shortly after as a hybrid. more details to come

Questions
how do they feel about being trapped in the prison world? Keelin deals with it the best she can. She stays positive and tries to keep a focus on normal life. However loosing Nik, her oldest and wondering what happened to him hurts her deeply. She also wishes her kids could experience what it's like to be normal, outside in the real world. Moving around, seeing the world. Experiencing life.
where did they live, where do they live now? Keelin and Freya lived in the Compound until the return of the dead, after which they moved their family into an apartment penthouse in New Orleans. They had always planned to move again, but as the kids came and life settled, they ended up loving the location and never moved. This is where they raised their kids and still live now.
thoughts on their partners/parents/thoughts on their children? Keelin loved her adopted parents more than anything, they shape who she is as a parent and she was devastated when they died when she was in her early 20s. She loves her family with Freya. She feels so completely seen by Freya, that she doesn't know what her life would be like without her, and she loves their family. Her children are so important to her. She loves her nieces and nephews as well. Though at times wonders if their life could be better if Freya's siblings were not so close.
additional details about their secret? A member of Keelin's family triggered their werewolf gene and due to the prison world being on a repeating full moon, this person was having to turn every night. They were struggling with this and so in secret Keelin gave them her moonlight ring and told them not to tell anyone. This was both to help cover the fact that they had killed someone and stop them from being banished and also to help them with turning. She was struggling both trying to hide the fact she now had to turn again, and the fact that unlike other wolves she does not have enhanced healing anymore, due to experiments she did in her youth to stop her abilities, which makes it harder and harder to recover after each full moon night. But she has no intention of taking the ring back, because it would reveal this person has triggered their gene/they have to suffer again.
