Edith Keeler

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

[edit] Personal

Edith Keeler was a Human woman who moved to Manhattan on Earth prior to 1930. She used to have a brother - Stephen Keeler - but he was dead by 1930 (TOS short story Triptych).

[edit] The City on the Edge of Forever

Keeler ran a soup kitchen for the extreme poor of New York City in 1930. Leonard McCoy, accidentally injured, was sent into the past by the Guardian of Forever. He saved Edith's life, thus changing the course of history. James Kirk and Spock had to return to prevent the change, which was complicated when James Kirk fell in love with Edith. Despite her goodness, Kirk had no option but to prevent McCoy from saving her life, letting her die so that the world they knew might still exist. (TOS episode: "The City on the Edge of Forever")
