Keisha Jackson

Keisha Jackson born as Keisha Banks is a woman living in Philadelphia who was assigned to the Homeroom of Darius Carpenter for the 2030-2031 School Year. She lived with her mother Tiana Banks and Tiana's boyfriend Brad Warren until she missed several days of school prompting Darius to visit her home when he was told upon returning from a Spectres mission on Ord Mantell.
She was discovered near-death when Darius visited her home along with Lucy Carpenter and a squad of Remnant Death Troopers that arrived along with General Typher Marlion and a squad of Stormtroopers. After receiving no answer to the knocks on the door from Darius and Ty, the troopers breached the door and forced entry to the home where Darius and Lucy located Keisha while Ty and the troopers located Brad Warren who was tending to a box of illegal goods. While Darius used The Force to tend to Keisha and tell her that help had arrived, Ty and Lucy searched the rest of the house as paramedics arrived and took Keisha to the hospital where Darius assumed responsibility for decisions regarding Keisha's medical care as her father Jeremie Clarke had yet to be located and her mother had been arrested by the on Ty's orders when she reported the Remnant's raid on her home to them.
As Keisha's health improved, Ty and the school's Vice-Principal Greg Washington worked to locate Jeremie and eventually found him along with documents that showed that Tiana had essentially committed . This story was later presented to Shirley Forbes who was the assigned to prosecute the cases being built against Brad and Tiana for what they did to Keisha and for the illegal goods found in the home which Forbes intended to seek the for. Darius eventually turned responsibility for Keisha's care over to Jeremie. While in the hospital, she mentions remembering an incident in an Earth Science class where the "Three Stooges" (three students who had a habit of causing trouble in school until they were taken to Boot Camp by Raechelle Dobbs for smuggling s into school after being asked numerous times by Darius to stop) disrupted the class which they weren't even supposed to be in until Mrs. Archer who was serving as the class' substitute teacher chased them out with a stick.
Keisha eventually made a full recovery with the help of her dad, Darius, a visit from Remnant President Ezra Bridger, and the Spirit of Mace Windu who suggested Ezra's visit to the Spirit of Kanan Jarrus and shooed away the Spirit of Bryan Khayman after Khayman made the point that Keisha should have been allowed to die if only to allow Forbes to file murder charges against Brad and Tiana which Mace took offense to as he felt it might cause Darius to lean towards a fall to the Dark Side. She later provided testimony against her mother and Brad who everyone including Ty and Judge Dionne Evans considered to be a bum. As the trial unfolded, it was revealed that Brad had also d Keisha resulting in Keisha being pregnant with Brad's child which Jeremie said they were discussing options regarding including claiming they knew a couple who might be more then happy to adopt the child after it's born (referring to Darius and Lucy). Jeremie also stated that he had no intentions of having Keisha transfer schools as she had been through enough already despite an attempt at which earned Brad and Tiana additional security measures while they were in jail and the suspect who attempted to take Keisha from school a chat with Remnant Major Eric Schuyler.
After the trial in which Tiana pled guilty to a reduced charge with a 40 year prison sentence after testifying against Brad who was found guilty by a jury and sentenced to Death by Judge Evans, Keisha and Jeremie continue to keep Darius informed about the progress of her pregnancy. Darius notes to Lucy and Justin Felth that Keisha is much happier with her dad and a totally different student in school which basically echoed the statements Ezra made about Darius after he was rescued from his mother's own house of horrors by Ezra and Jamal Wilkins.
On Christmas 2030, Keisha and her Dad join the Carpenters and the Schuylers for Breakfast at the Carpenters' home. Keisha's unborn baby is later included by Tevin Felth as part of the "Extended Felth Family" indicating that Tevin is aware of the possibility of Darius and Lucy adopting the baby when it is born or playing a major role in its life.
In June of 2031, she gave birth to a baby named Darius Banks with her dad, Darius, Lucy, and a visiting Troy Khayman present. She, Jeremie, and Baby Darius later travel to New York City for the wedding of Christopher Felth and Tori Rodgers where Keisha is greeted by President Ezra Bridger and set upon by Hondo Ohnaka who tries to sell her baby supplies much to the annoyance of Ezra and Landon McKnight after Hondo mentions that he needs to make a small profit off the sales. While at the wedding, she catches Tori's bouquet and mentions that she has named Lucy and Darius as the baby's godparents. She remains in the same school for the 2031-2032 School Year and is part of Darius' Current Events class and is among the guests at the Carpenters for Christmas Dinner.
In 2032, Darius gives her a copy of the pages from Caleb Carpenter's Baby Book as guide to developmental milestones in Little Darius and introduces her to Shaun McCutchen although Keisha tells him that the two have a class together already. A month later, Darius notes the growing interest Keisha develops in Shaun and tells Lucy that he might have matched the two together as Shaun is at Keisha's home when Darius and Caleb turn up there and Darius had been driving them around after school due to Shaun being a witness in a Murder trial and Keisha being hassled by Hondo Ohnaka trying to sell her merchandise. As the trial of Shaun's mother begins Keisha's interest in him increases to the point that LaShonda McCutchen's attorney Regina Edwards who had served as Brad Warren's attorney accuses Keisha of using sexual favors to get Shaun to commit . Edwards also accuses Keisha of being a whore twice with Shaun, Justin Felth (who had also been insulted by Edwards), and Ryan Pratchard Jr. preventing Keisha from striking Edwards with Shirley Forbes stating that she will be referring Edwards' shaming of a rape victim to the Ethics Committee of the . Keisha and Shaun begin an official relationship as they graduate from High School with Shaun assuming the role of father to Little Darius. The next week, she was present at Jacen Syndulla's home when Michael Myers revealed that both her son and boyfriend were Force-Sensitive. Keisha also made another new friend in the form of Jacen's daughter Mira. Keisha also helps out with babysitting duties for the Felth-Carpenter Family being joined by Shaun.
In 2033, after Jeremie is killed in a terrorist attack on the Philadelphia Subway, Keisha and Shaun get married following Shaun changing his last name to Jackson. General Typher Marlion serves in Jeremie's place to walk Keisha down the aisle. Keisha still maintains her hatred for Regina Edwards with the mere mention of Edwards' name prompting Keisha to react in a manner that Kanan Jarrus finds concerning. Justin Felth suggests during a Felth Family Dinner that Keisha might make a good candidate for based on what he knows about her and adds that it would be the ultimate "Screw You" to Edwards when Keisha is the one prosecuting one of Edwards' clients and securing a conviction with Ryan Pratchard Jr. adding that Edwards has no idea that Keisha and for that matter Shaun are living under the last name "Jackson".
