Keelin

Keelin Nic Brown is a childhood friend and companion of Meredith. Her mother was a brownie, her father a durig - a type of goblin.

Keelin was chosen by Meredith's father Prince Essus to be Meredith's companion almost from her birth. She and Meredith were good friends and until they were fifteen they went to trick-or-treat every Halloween with Galen. At the age of fifteen, Meredith had enough personal glamour to hide Keelin herself, so they went without Galen.

When Keelin was seventeen, she was raped so brutaly and was so close to death that Sidhe healers refused to heal her because they feared for their own lives. Prince Essus took Keelin to human hospital and reported her rape to human authorities. Seeing Keelin survive helped Meredith to overcome many of her own problems, because she thought them not as bad as what had happened to Keelin.

After Meredith fled from court, Keelin wanted to stay part of the Unseelie court, so she volunteered to become Prince Cel's lover for three years. If she became with child, he would have to treat her as his wife.

Keelin is considered quite a beauty among some goblins.
