- — Keegan to Your Character[1]
Keegan, a character in the Perfect Match series, is the match version of Your Character. He/She is first seen in Book 2, Chapter 11.
Appearance
Keegan has the same skin tone and facial features as Your Character. However, Keegan has black hair, no matter if Your Character's hair is black or not. Female Keegan's default hairstyle is called "Short Bob" and her outfit consists of a long-sleeved black top part made of lace that she wears over a strapless black top, combined with black trousers with a silver zip on either side. Additionally, female Keegan wears a silver necklace. Male Keegan's default hairstyle is "Midnight", and he wears a black shirt, gray trousers and a brown belt. He also wears a watch.
Personality
According to Cecile, others at Eros think of Keegan as their "savior" (to Cecile's dismay). Because his/her core personality was reformated, Keegan tells Your Character that the only similarity between the two of you is just physical appearance. However, it appears that Keegan may have a little of the "Activist" persona. Keegan believes humans to be self-serving beings with no regards for others (i.e. Matches); if Your Character makes Keegan an ally, Keegan changes his/her perception; if Your Character does not (i.e. you remain neutral or become enemies), you reinforce his/her beliefs.

Android Properties
Physical Attributes
As Keegan is physically no more than a collection of wires, circuits, and bolts embedded within a waterproof hardware that closely resembles human skin, he/she is classified as an android. As a machine, Keegan is physically stronger than most humans. It is also presumed that like Hayden and Harley, Keegan is also susceptible to metal detectors.
Mental Attributes
Keegan's neural activities such as thought, emotion, memories, knowledge, and personality have been preprogrammed by Handlers, adjusting the software as Eros sees fit. However, after getting hit with a taser, Eros had to reformat Keegan's core formatting which destroyed most of the personality and memory files.
Anomalies
Keegan reveals in a premium scene of Perfect Match 2, Chapter 12, that s/he has a history of glitching after s/he took a hard hit from a taser.
Relationships
Your Character
Keegan is a match created by Rowan West to pose as you and send a threatening message to not mess with Eros. If you decide to meet with Keegan in private, you have a chance to get on his/her good side and recruit him/her as a potential ally. If you do so, Keegan will tell you to look out for any information about Operation Countervail. At the gala, Keegan will also tell you not to worry and will stay to listen to Damien before flying off in a helicopter.
If you remain neutral with Keegan, s/he limits or cuts off future conversations with you. If you expose Keegan to Eros, you make Keegan an enemy. Keegan shoves you, telling you that he/she should have known not to trust you. Rowan tells you at the gala that Keegan's bloodlust for you is even more intense than Harley's. Even if you try to apologize after Keegan's conversation with Cecile, Keegan doesn't accept your "lame apology" and doesn't care.
Damien
Keegan is the match version of Your Character that had been used to emotionally torture Damien during the time he was held hostage. This is only revealed if you chose to encourage Damien to tell you what happened in Book 2, Chapter 4, and if you get into the car with Keegan in Chapter 12: s/he confirms that s/he wasn't acting to torture him, s/he really believed to be you and to care about Damien. Keegan says s/he is thankful that s/he only remembers part of it, but s/he remembers being excited to see him. To torture Damien, Keegan was then hit with a taser that caused the severe damage to his/her system. If you choose to make Keegan an ally, s/he is affected by Damien's words in Chapter 15; if you remain neutral with Keegan, s/he leaves before Damien can speak. If you make Keegan your enemy, Damien's words do not affect Keegan and he/she still distrusts you and him.
Cecile Contreras
Keegan tells you that when Cecile works with the Matches, she is always spinning the story: she and Rowan are their creators, their protectors, while you and everyone else are the enemy trying to destroy their little family. However, Keegan knows first-hand how Cecile treats Matches ever since he/she was tased. If you are allies or neutral with Keegan, the latter pushes Cecile down before climbing into the heliocopter and leaving. If you are enemies with Keegan, the latter pulls Cecile into the heliocopter before flying up and then pushing Cecile out, causing her to fall back onto the rooftop.
Sloane Washington
Keegan only contacts Sloane in Chapter 15 after the President has given control of Eros to Sloane and Khaan. Through email, Keegan tells Sloane that the Unity of Liberated Matches will be watching what she does with Eros. If you are allies with Keegan, Keegan is optimistic. If you are enemies with Keegan, Keegan is wary.

Trivia
