Hera had the good fortune of discovering her life’s purpose at an early age thanks to the heroism of the clones and Jedi who sacrificed themselves to save her people. That determination made her an apt learner. As a rebel, she couldn’t learn things the traditional way. She had to constantly acquire spacecraft, equipment, and supplies by various means, often by theft from the Empire. She has to repurpose vessels and tools to suit whatever was needed at the moment. In contract to the austere Jarrus, Hera was an out-of-the-box thinker. Her unorthodox approach had a profound influence on the rigid philosophy of Jarrus and some of the more conventional rebel pilots.
