@HowtobeaGrimm They haven't given us much about Chavez. They've been keeping her as mysterious as possible, letting us think that she's a bad guy. I'm not sure she is a bad guy...not yet...because they do this sometimes. They made Kelly Burkhardt seem like a bad guy at first too. The number 7 is a Mersenne prime and various cultures throughout history have attached a special significance to it. So it didn't really surprise me that the writers used the number 7 for the number of Keys. The Keys are the big MacGuffin in this show, and it's always good to make the MacGuffin as mysterious and mystical as possible. When Nick first showed his Key to Monroe, Monroe said that it looked a key to a "warded" lock, meaning a key that was one of a set...a set that has to be used all together in order to open a lock. So somewhere there is a lock that all 7 Keys go to, and they must all be used at once in order to open it. The Royals seem to know this since they are trying to possess all 7 Keys.
