Keelin

Keelin is a werewolf.

Keelin is a smart, strong and resourceful Emergency Room doctor. She is the last living werewolf of the Malraux bloodline after the rest of her family was hunted to extinction. She is the wife of Freya and mother of their son, Nik.

After her family's death, she went into hiding and, since then, she has deliberately avoided getting too close to anyone.

She was held captive by Freya and eventually struck a bargain so that together, they could combine their knowledge of magic and medicine to destroy Marcel's venom. Since the creation of a weapon that can kill Marcel, Freya released her and she is currently enjoying her life of freedom. She has also begun a romantic relationship with Freya and is considered an ally and friend of the Mikaelson Family.

Keelin is a member of the Malraux Werewolf Bloodline and a relative to the Mikaelson Family due to her marriage with Freya.

Early History
Prior to 2014, while she is well into her medical education and just starting her residency, her family, and werewolf bloodline were hunted down by Lucien. Once he obtained the venom he needed they were killed off. It remains unknown how she survived her family's destruction, though it is likely because she does not share her grandmother's maiden name of Malraux.

During an unknown year, while Keelin dated an orthopedic surgeon, one morning they went for a hike and Keelin badly injured her ankle. However, the next day, due to her accelerated healing, Keelin's ankle was back to normal. Her then-girlfriend freaked out and they broke up. After that, Keelin broke into the hospital lab and found a way to slow her healing down close to that of a human's so she could live a normal life.

Powers and Abilities
Keelin possesses all the standard powers and abilities of a non-evolved werewolf. However, due to the Moonlight ring she currently wears, Keelin is capable of accessing the full power of her condition that is usually only available in wolf form.

Weaknesses
Keelin has the typical weaknesses of a non-evolved werewolf.

Freya Mikaelson
While at the beginning, Freya saw Keelin only as a way to ensure the longevity of her family (a prisoner), provided a cure to Marcel's bite, her opinion of Keelin has since changed. After realizing that Keelin has acute medical abilities and could help her in her quest to defeat Marcel, Freya aided Keelin in controlling her werewolf curse, via a moonlight ring, in return for her help. As her captivity with Freya prolonged, the two developed a friendly bond towards one another. After Freya was almost killed by Dominic, Keelin realized there was something more between them. Freya told her there's no reason for them to see each other, though as she was leaving, rejected her own comment and kissed her. They've since begun an official relationship and the two even have sex for the first time. When Freya thought she would have to turn into a vampire for her family, Keelin assured her that they would be fine. She went on to say that they are, "Julie and Juliet, always". It's presumed that she stayed with Freya in New Orleans.

After seven years, Freya and Keelin are still together. However, they are in a long distance relationship with Freya remaining in New Orleans trying to find a way to reunite her siblings and with Keelin away from the United States aiding others in need of medical attention. Keelin tried to convince Freya to come with her, but Freya hesitantly declines because of her duty to her siblings. Although broken up at the beginning of the fifth season, Keelin travels back to New Orleans to support Freya as she leads a funeral for their deceased friend. After Hayley's funeral, they decide to make time for each other despite not being together anymore. However, Freya realized that she cannot live without Keelin by her side and asks Keelin to marry her. Both in tears of joy, Keelin accepts Freya's marriage proposal and they share an intimate moment together despite the chaos of the war around them. On the day of their wedding, Freya makes the sudden decision to not have children with Keelin because of her fear of what would happen to their future child. This alarms and hurts Keelin deeply. Keelin argues with Freya tearfully at her sudden and rash decision, but Freya seems set in her ways, until she has a talk with Rebekah. Keelin is overjoyed when Freya changed her mind and said that she would explore the possibility of raising children together. The two then marry as planned and become wives. At the end of the series, Freya first asks Vincent to be the biological father of their future baby. At first he says "no," but later changes his mind. Keelin and Freya are last seen hugging with Vincent crying tears of joy that they have the chance at a raising a family altogether.

Hayley Marshall-Kenner
Keelin was first approached by Hayley at a bar in Austin. Keelin felt threatened that she knew of her bloodline and attacked Hayley. They fought though she was overcome by Hayley's vampiric strength and was taken hostage so that she could use her for her venom. While being held captive by Freya, Hayley saw the pain that Keelin was forced to endure and eventually was set free. Since then, the two have not interacted though she did show relief when she found Hayley dead, from only a broken neck, and that she would soon recover.

After several years of knowing each other, Keelin travels back to New Orleans to attend Hayley's funeral and supports Freya. Keelin and other funeral attendees watch as Freya leads the final words before officially saying goodbye to Hayley.
