Keevan was created in 1997.
Keevan got his own dragon
Heth chooses Keevan as his dragonrider because Keevan displays qualities such as courage, determination, and compassion. Despite his small size and inexperience, Keevan shows loyalty and a strong bond with Heth, making him an ideal partner for their adventures together. Heth sees potential in Keevan and believes in his ability to become a great dragonrider.
A boy named Keevan, who is a candidate for Ramoth's latest clutch in Benden Weyr. Keevan is shorter than the other candidates, and is teased about this by a boy named Beterli, who has stood for eight Impressions and has not been chosen. Keevan works hard but his size downgrades his abilities to most. When he overhears some of the senior dragonriders talking about dropping some of the younger candidates from the Impression, he automatically thinks he will be dropped. The next day, when shovelling coal, he gets in a fight with Beterli, who says he will be dropped. Keevan is badly injured and is assured by Lessa that he will have other Hatchings. When the Hatching occurs, he manages to find his way to the Ground and Impresses a bronze dragon, named Heth. K'van and Heth later become Weyrleaders of Southern Weyr.
Keevan is considered as an underdog because he was the smallest candidate to be a dragon rider. (The title can give you a clue)
The problem in this story is that Beterli is always teasing Keevan of his height. Beterli gets in a fight with Keevan and get Keevan from going to the Impression, but Keevan does not give up and goes to the Impression.
