**General Hera Syndulla** is a major heroine in the *Star Wars* franchise. She is the secondary deuteragonist of the 2014-2018 animated series *Star Wars Rebels* and one of the two protagonists of its 2014 prequel novel (along with Kanan Jarrus). She is daughter of Clone Wars revolutionist Cham Syndulla, the captain of the *Ghost*, a VCX 100 light freighter, owner of Chopper, and leader of the *Ghost* crew under the callsign **Spectre-2**. Hera is the first to warmly welcome any new members into the crew and she Becomes close with Sabine Wren and Ezra Bridger, whom she also mentors and acts as a motherly figure towards. Throughout the series, she becomes the Phoenix Leader and a dedicated fighter in the Rebel Alliance to restore the Galactic Republic while growing romantic feelings for Kanan Jarrus and reconciles with her father Cham. However, after a mission to Malachor that makes Kanan and Ezra lose Ahsoka, Hera and Ezra lead the Ghost and continue to fight in the rebellion. During their adventures, Hera encounters her arch-enemy Grand Admiral Thrawn.

By Season 4, Hera becomes Kanan's lover but loses him when he sacrifices himself to save her, Ezra and Sabine. She later becomes dedicated to liberating Ezra's homeworld from Imperial control, but at the cost of her foster son sacrificing himself to save his friends by ridding Lothal of Grand Admiral Thrawn. By *Rogue One,* Hera is promoted to a General and later, becomes the mother of Jacen Syndulla.

## Personality

Among the members of the Ghost Crew, Hera Syndulla is considered the mother figure of the bunch. Bringing together six rebels, her fellow crewmembers treat Hera with the utmost respect and authority. She is the only one who can keep Chopper in line and reprimand Zeb whenever his actions are questionable. Like all the other members of the *Ghost*, she was sympathetic toward those who fell victim to the Empire and helped bring about inspiration to her followers. Whenever she was infuriated with Zeb or Chopper, she would occasionally call Zeb by his full name, Garazeb Orrelios and Chopper, his real name C1-10P. When she first meets Ezra Bridger, she was mildly impressed with the boy's resourcefulness and how his personality reminds her of Kanan when he was younger. She was the first to warmly welcome him on the Ghost when he got into conflict with Kanan, Zeb and Sabine.  After learning he was an orphan and had no parents, she felt sympathy for him.

Hera is an outspoken young woman who is not afraid to call people out on their actions, such as pressing Kanan on to train Ezra and later, reprimanding Ezra when he disobeyed her orders. Like Ezra, Hera tries to see the best in everyone and attempt to bring it out. According to Kanan, some of Hera's traits were picked up on by Ezra. Hera is also an ace pilot, being able to outmaneuver even Darth Vader, despite him being one of the better pilots. Because of her talented skills, Hera stayed on the Ghost most of their missions because she could fly away faster. When she does go on missions, Hera proves to be capable of looking after herself on the battle, being an excellent fighter and markswoman. Apart from her idealistic nature, Hera was the first Rebel to see that Senator Gall Trayvis was a traitor and a spy for the Empire.

As the series goes on, Hera becomes more involved and loyal to the Rebellion, acting less flirtatious with Kanan and more in command of the Ghost crew, but still remaining the fiesty, motherly figure of the bunch. She becomes invested in the rebellion so much, that she does not even consider what life she wanted to live once it was over, letting her personal needs not get in the way of things. However, after their losses on Atallon, Hera realizes that she could not let the Rebellion control her life. At the end, she wanted to continue her life with Kananand decided that is what she wanted when the war was over. Even being a mother to her toddler son, Jacen, Hera still participated in the battle of Scarif in *Rogue One*.

After losing Kanan, Hera feared lthat she would lose someone else she cared for, as she protested to Ezra not to surrender to Thrawn.
