CT-11-3117/Key
CT-11-3117, or Key, was a gunner in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. Key was from a batch who got accelerated through training so that they could be on the battlefield sooner.

She was particularly close with Dash, Ozone, and Firefly, all members of her squad.

Key was one of a number of transgender clone troopers.

Early Life
Key was born in 29 BBY, along with her "twin" brother Clue, CT-11-3116. The two cadets were inseparable, running around Tipoca City and getting into trouble. Key's training finished early, and she and the rest of her batch were sent to the war half a year ahead of schedule. She was 9 when she was deployed in early 20 BBY.

The Clone Wars
During the events of the war, Key was assigned with her brother Clue to a 9-clone squad under ARC trooper Captain Spark. She became their gunner, working with the pilots Dash and Ozone to attack their enemies from the air.

During a ground assault, Clue was injured and presumed dead. Key was extremely distraught, and her siblings had to restrain her to prevent her from jumping ship and looking for him. Following the battle, she proceeded to get a question mark tattooed over her heart in memory of the brother that she lost. She never gave up hope that he may still be alive, but was unable to continue searching because she was quickly redeployed.

It is unknown what her status was after Order 66.

Personality and Traits
Key was impulsive and slightly reckless. She often took risks without thinking about the consequences of her actions. She refused to leave a comrade behind.
