Keira

Lore & Background

Keira is the daughter of Samos the Sage. She grows up alongside Jak and Daxter in Samos's village, displaying an early aptitude for machinery and eco. In *Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy*, she tasks Jak with collecting Power Cells to power her zoomer, enabling travel to new areas. Her mechanical skills are central to the plot, as she repairs and upgrades vehicles. In *Jak II* and *Jak 3*, Keira becomes a key figure in the resistance against Baron Praxis and the Metal Heads, using her intellect to modify weapons and vehicles for the fight. In *Jak II*, Jak, Daxter, Samos, and Keira are thrust into the industrious Haven City after using the rift gate. In *Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier*, its narrative takes place an undisclosed amount of time after the events of the original trilogy; when their world begins to run low on Eco, Jak, Daxter, and Keira travel to the Brink, the edge of the world, in search of ancient Precursor machinery that can reverse this decline of Eco.

In Their Own Story

The air in the garage smelled of oil and ozone. Keira wiped a grease smudge from her cheek, her eyes fixed on the zoomer's exposed engine. 'Almost there,' she muttered, tightening a bolt with a click. Daxter hopped onto a crate, arms crossed. 'You sure this thing won't explode, Keira?' She didn't look up, just smirked. 'Only if you're riding it, fuzzball.' The engine coughed, then roared to life, shaking the floorboards. She tossed Jak the keys—they glinted in the dim light. 'Just bring it back in one piece, alright? I've got a reputation to maintain.'
