As a jovial person who wears an eternal smile, Keeper goes about her day-to-day life savoring the joy of tinkering with new equipment and infusions as well as trying out new alcoholic brews. Truly, she seems to have something for anyone or any situation. Her years spent working with the Copper Mockingbird division in Calian made her adept at working people and her time as the barkeep of the Shining Stamp Inn made her good at pleasing people. Keeper will subtly shift her persona to suit those around her and always makes sure that people she interacts with have their needs met. In her moments spent away from others, Keeper becomes a far more quiet and bitter person who calculates her interactions down to the t. She is capable of genuinely enjoying the company of others but is often so caught up in her own head that doing so is hard. | |||

Following Wilryn’s death, Keeper threw herself into her work for the Copper Mockingbirds. Keeper also took on a job as the city’s resident inventor, coming up with fixes or creations to help those who asked. She further honed her mechanical skills and rose through the ranks as the years went on. Keeper eventually acquired enough money from her jobs that it would have been easy for her to move out of the slums, but she chose to remain, perhaps because she couldn’t bear to part with her dad’s house. When Keeper became a “gold repairwoman” she was assigned to be part of a team that would rob the Ripplerun Manor; the halfling Ripplerun family basically ran Port Dagny and they were very much not to be trifled with. It had taken years for the Copper Mockingbirds to earn enough favors to be able to actually attempt robbing them. Since the higher ranked Mockingbirds specialized in obtaining magical items, the goal of this particular heist was to steal an object called the Sealing Crystal—an item said to be able to lock away a person’s memories. It was rumored that the Rippleruns had used the crystal to turn one of the few Port Dagny guards who wasn’t under their thumb into a blank canvas. | Following Wilryn’s death, Keeper threw herself into her work for the Copper Mockingbirds.

Before being assigned to the Ripplerun heist, Keeper had gotten closer to a dwarven rogue named Jinera Redforge. Jinera impressed Keeper with her skills in stealth and tricking the unsuspecting while Keeper amazed Jinera with inventions of every sort and her knowledge of infiltration. Eventually, they came to talk about things that weren’t work related and encouraged each other to think of a future beyond the next immediate score. Jinera revealed that she had started stealing to care for her ailing mother, but at some point realized that her mother would never love her no matter how much she did for her. As a result, she turned to stealing for herself and viewing others as a means to an end. Meeting Keeper was apparently the catalyst for her starting to leave this mindset behind. Keeper confided in her about how much she regretted her last words to her father: “I’m trying to help us eat and you’re just going to get yourself killed.” Within a year, Jinera and Keeper were in a relationship. Both of them were put on the Ripplerun heist. | Before being assigned to the Ripplerun heist, Keeper had gotten closer to a dwarven rogue named Jinera Redforge.

When caught, Valvon threatened to use the Sealing Crystal to erase the memories of everyone present if Keeper didn’t leave. Keeper remained calm and sneakily used her communicator to send out a signal to the others, letting them know where she was. She tried to talk Valvon down, but this proved ineffective. He kept on saying that nothing would interfere with his allegiance to Dell. Keeper had never been the most religious person, but she was fairly sure that Dell was the god of decay and one of the children of the goddess Aiza, the one who made Calian. Little did she know that multiple people all over the region were currently dedicating powerful magical objects to Dell and that this would kick start the Era of Divine Enmity. When Jinera and Hiswin arrived at the scene, Valvon grew increasingly agitated and decided to go through with his threat. Before he got the chance, Keeper threw a Grease bomb at him, which disrupted the magic he was channeling and caused it to affect one singular person rather than everyone in the manor. Unfortunately, this person was Jinera. Hiswin grabbed the Sealing Crystal and Keeper led a confused and amnesiac Jinera over to their exit point. | When caught, Valvon threatened to use the Sealing Crystal to erase the memories of everyone present if Keeper didn’t leave.

Though the heist was a success, the Sealing Crystal was irrevocably changed by Valvon’s ritual. This was far from Keeper’s concern, however. Instead, she focused her attention on tending to Jinera and trying to restore her memories. Though Jinera never recovered her memory, she was incredibly grateful for Keeper’s care. Since she couldn’t remember her experiences or skills, Jinera was dismissed from the Copper Mockingbirds. To earn a living, she worked labor-oriented jobs. Keeper would have allowed her to help out around her shop, but they both agreed it would be best for her to have a level of independence | Though the heist was a success, the Sealing Crystal was irrevocably changed by Valvon’s ritual.

Keeper was raised in a mixed-race city by a gnome parent, which meant that she was taught to speak both Common and Gnomish as she grew up. She speaks both languages with ease but does favor Gnomish the slightest bit because it reminds her of her father. Sylvan is Keeper’s least favorite language of those she knows because she learned it during her time as the goddess Aiza’s prisoner. Keeper didn’t learn Sylvan in the traditional sense: it was branded into her mind when Aiza stripped her of her freedom and bound her in servitude to the Shining Stamp Inn. She avoids speaking it and even has a tendency to make sour expressions when she hears it spoken within her vicinity. Still, on occasion, Sylvan words make their way into her speech—usually when she’s zoning out. | Keeper was raised in a mixed-race city by a gnome parent, which meant that she was taught to speak both Common and Gnomish as she grew up.
