Mina Bonteri

Mina Bonteri was an Onderonian human female stateswoman who lived during the Age of the Galactic Republic. Prior to the Clone Wars, Bonteri represented Onderon in the Galactic Senate and served as a mentor to Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo. The two women became close friends in the Senate, but their relationship deteriorated as Bonteri sympathized with Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, where many worlds began to organize a breakaway from the Galactic Republic. Eventually, the two sides instigated the Clone Wars and Bonteri joined the Separatist Senate, serving as the Senator of the Japrael sector. 
One year into the conflict, Bonteri was approached by her old friend and student Amidala, who still served in the Republic Senate, asking her to help negotiate a peace initiative. Bonteri covertly met with Amidala and her friends Jedi Padawans Jarik Shan and Ahsoka Tano. The four of them began to cooperate and saw reason in ending the conflict once and for all. However, Count Dooku’s Master Darth Sidious — the Sith Lord who orchestrated the War — became aware of their plans once Amidala revealed them to his secret identity and her old friend Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine and consequently ordered Bonteri’s death. With the peace talks derailed following a bombing of the Republic's capital of Coruscant, the initiative was ended when it appeared Bonteri's murder was caused by a supposed brutal Republic assault on the Confederacy.
Following her death Bonteri's son, Lux, would fill in her position in the Senate, though he would soon leave the Confederacy himself when he learned that Dooku had orchestrated her murder. Seeking revenge, Lux partnered with the Mandalorian terrorist group, Death Watch, though would soon break ties with them as well upon realizing their cruel nature.
