(Will be updated soon)

During their time in Ishgard, Ranni and Keres grew to respect each others combat abilities and social skills. Ranni helping her navigate the complicated politics in the way only non nobles can.Keres in turn found all the speakeasies and less... accepted spots in Ishgard further expanding her savoury services. She figured if her kind was not welcome in the Ishgard populace of the high borne Wilwoods, she would continue to be the thorn in their side that they can not ignore.After the battle with Thordan, Ranni was affected by the resurrection of Nidhogg, becoming more aggressive and angry of a person.The two reasons Keres and Ranni spent so much time together in Stormblood, was that they were both were learning to master a craft, with Ranni learning the way of the Monk, and Keres becoming a Red Mage.

Early Shadowbringers to Present

Early Shadowbringers:

During her few years on the first alone, Keres took her new skills as a dancer to use. Getting free room and board in Eulmore through the Beehive and getting info from the soldiers that came to watch her performances. One day, her wife Ranni showed up in her window, they teamed up for awhile sending info to the Crystarium. That was until Ranni got close to being captured and needing a place to hide. Ranni joined her wife as a dancer and they seduced their way to get info for Selica.Until the day Selica showed up and Ranni, needing a change of scenery, left with the Warrior of Light to defeat the Light Wardens. Keres however, stayed to keep tabs on Lord Vauthry until the Scions sent word that was needed in the Rak'tika Greatwood, timing was perfect as the Eulmoran General Rahnjit was getting suspicious of her. In the Great Wood, Keres met the Ascian Emet-Selch for the first time. This led a a relationship based off their back and forth banter.Eventually this led to Keres and Emmet-Selch spending a night together after they felled the Lightwarden of the Great Wood. During the take down Vauthry, Keres had to fight off her own wife being controlled by Vauthry due to some fleshy melons she consumed too much of.... Succeeding in getting through to her wife, Keres and Ranni helped Selica take down Rahnjit for good before chasing and defeating Vauthry. Finally in a bid to take down Emmet-Selch and save Selica from the Light Corruption, they headed toward the bottom of the ocean towards the recreation of the Ancient City of Amurot, where Keres had to say goodbye to her new partner as Emmet-Selch felled in battle.

Late Shadowbringers:

After the Ascian's defeat, Keres continued to work at the Beehive. Though less out of a need and more out of her own enjoyment. Eventually though, when the Scions came to her for help with the chance to find a way home. Missing her daughter, the Duskwright jumped on the chance to return to her child.Though once getting the information on Venant, Keres still needing to wait, went back to the Beehive. This continued until suddenly, a meteor storm appeared in the sky above Eulmore. The Scions and Keres charged toward the Crystal Tower to stop Elidibus. The Ascian was summoning other Warriors of Light to try and take revenge on Selica. After getting to the Ascian taking on a Primal form of the first Warrior of Light. Using his magic,Elidibus sent the Warriors of Light to the void, but the Magic of Azem and Emmet-Selch, sent them back to the fight. Seeing an echo of her Ascian Fling, Keres helped defeat the the Warrior of Light with tears in her eyes.Eventually Keres Said her goodbyes to the staff of the Beehive and was sent back home, where she spent her time recovering from muscle atrophy and taking care of her daughter until she recovered in time to go with the rest of the Scions to Old Sharlyan.

Early Endwalker

Keres stayed with the Scions in Sharlyan until she couldn't handle the uptight rules of the Forum and chose to go with Uriangier, Thancred, and Estinien to Thavnir with a few friends. There she made friends with Matsuya and Nidhana before the latter was kidnapped by Fandaniel and the truth that the Ascian was once Amon, the scholar and inventor of Allagan Cloning technology was almost too much to handle. To prepare for the attack on the Tower of Zot, Keres returned to Ul'Dah where she quickly learned the basics of Garlean Reapers, though Keres's Avatar began whispering and trying to take her over. When that failed, it layed in wait for a chance to strike.Joining the Coalition headed to Garlemald, Keres witnessed the aftermath of the civil war and the distrust all had for outsiders. Having a distrust and distaste for Julus and the other soldiers of the first legion she stayed on guard until after the Tower of Babel a sudden attempt to control the remaining Garleans she was whisked away to the tower by Fandaniel and Zenos body swapped with her into a low level soldier. Seeing Zenos take her body shatters Keres’s mental state feeling as though her autonomy was taken away from her again. Keres fighting for her life to get back to her friends and wife before Zenos could do something to them calls forth her Avatar for the first time, rending her obstacles, but not before being mortally wounded and just barely making it back in time to stop Zenos from harming her wife.The former of who returns Keres to her body and the group chase the dishonored prince to the tower of Babel, slaying Anima and being teleported to the moon with the other Warriors of Light. One the moon, Keres and the other WoLs quickly found the home of the Watcher who warned them of the plan of Zenos and Fandaniel, making it just in time to watch Fandaniel and Zenos destroy the final brand, they almost began a fight with Zenos. Yet Fandaniel interrupted them and fell into the hole to take over the body of Zodiark. After a long grueling battle, using her new Reaper powers, Keres helped slay Zodiark, only to realize that it was part of the plan. Fandaniel had restarted the final days.

Late Endwalker

Shortly after the defeat of Zodiark the Scions and WoLs moved farther into the moon, and found the Lopporits. Keres quickly came to the conclusion that they, in her eyes, were akin to the Slyphs and felt no ill will or malice from them. Helping clear up the Lopporits miss understanding of where the Scions were coming from, and being proud of Uriangier for turning a new leaf, Keres and the rest left for the planet again, and toward the heavily affected and burning... Thavnir. Getting down to Thavnir, Keres found herself, severly overwhelmed as they worked to help defeat the monsters attacking the people. Witnessing families transform and attack each other sent Keres into a depression.It was this that led to Keres finally being taken over by her Avatar, which laid in wait until people started to transform in the capital city. causing mass panic. The Avatar took this moment to reveal itself, and trying to take advantage of the chaos to try and kill people for Aether. However, the Avatar was confronted by Ranni, who take stance against the Voidsent. In a difficult fight emotionally and physically, Ranni was mortally wounded, but she landed a blow powerful enough to knock the voidsent's control of the Duskwright loose and Ranni stole the soul crystal before passing out from her wounds.When Keres awoke, she had no memory of what she did until she saw her wife recovering in another bed. Though Ranni did recover swiftly and a plan to find a place called Elpis was put into motion. Visiting Elpis with the help of Elidibus along side some of the other WoLs, Keres was shocked to see how much unknown plants and animals there were. Keres was almost always distracted by trying to get samples of Ancient plants to bring back with her. That was until a new distraction in the form of an old flame still alive. Emet-Selch back in the days of the Ancients. Keres during her time on Elpis quickly moved to resolve some unresolved feelings.Keres layed out everything was the WoLs were discovered to have Venat's warding spell on them. This eventually led to her spending time with Emet-Selch in private, until chasing Meteion to the Kitisis Hyperbole. Where having to once again say goodbye to Emet as his memory was wiped. Keres however, was finally able to work through one of her regrets in life.

Present Day

Taking time for herself after the events at Ultima Thule, Keres set up her own cafe and lounge in the Mists. Finding investors in her friend Selica and other business partners, she quickly set up the cafe and found people she trusted to run the place. This included Ranni's brother Bubu. The cafe, while small was still a very successful business venture as people from Eorzea's different corners wanted to see a place the Warriors of Light endorsed. Her focus was quickly taken up by a person she long thought dead, while recovering and setting up the cafe, Keres was reunited with her brother Thanatos after over 20 years of being separated by Tteledji. Also using her time as a courtesan, she quickly, with help from her wife Ranni, started to work toward making adult oriented products and after working hard to get support.This venture ends up getting investors and distributors for the adult toys and products. Providing a steady stream of income that, in turn allowed Keres to feel less anxiety about not having enough money to survive should they be called away for another adventure or job. During the events with the 13th and Golbez, Keres stayed pretty far out of it. Only getting information from Ranni about the Archfiends and even Zeromus. Taking care of Ranni's injuries from the fights. That was until Ranni one day, told Keres to start to pack her bags, they were going to the New World. The land of Tural.
