Kiely is simple and always has been. Who wouldn't want a peaceful life on a Hopi reservation in Arizona? Of course wit the death of her parents, it forced her to grow up and look after her younger brother Ronan, regardless of their Aunt Lynn becoming their legal guardian, which landed them in Seatte. Hell...Lynn couldn't even do laundry right. While Aunt Lynn tended to partying with her friends, cigarettes and cheap booze, Kyiel was doing the cleaning, cooking, laundry and making sure Ronan attempted to do well in school. Of course once she hit 18, Kyiel had enough. She was over Aunt Lynn's shitty non-existent attempts at parenthood, so she joined the Peace Corps.

Kyiel couldn't have asked for a better, simple life....helping others, traveling the world, and molding herself. She would get her 2 year degree in general studies and work on her freelance photography, all while keeping in touch with her brother via post cards, letters, and sometimes emails and phone calls. After her last Peace Corps assignment, Kyiel would end up in Key West Florida, working small jobs, with photography gigs on the side. As for life now with the Outbreak...she's looking for Ronan,and trying to stay alive like everyone else.
