In Gondor , Keyya would always be the brightest little smile around. She was always playing with her friends, helping people out with daily chores. However, her mom passed away and this left her always sad, she loved her mother more than anything. To make things worse, when her dad did remarry, he brought her stepmother into the house. Whenever Keyya made any kind of mistake, or even if she didn't smile for a long while, her stepmother with beat her with a hard wooden bat that they used to kill rats. Eventually, at age sixteen, Keyya got tired of this and ran away from home. She kept walking in one direction before she found herself in a small village in the realm of Rohan. Here she met a young lad, whom took her into his house and cared for her for over a year. She took a liking to him, but would never move on someone else's man, and therefore kept her feelings to herself. Eventually the man she longed for enlisted into the Rohirrim, and without him there, she simply was kicked out by the spiteful woman, who had found her diary and read through all the thoughts in her mind. She then was forced back on the road until she finally found her way to Bree, looking for a place to stay, and a job, she did what anyone would do, go to the tavern of the town.
