Suzu was a Human female from Herdessa who was a major leader of a lower-class revolution that toppled the Herdessan Guild's rule over her homeworld in 4 ABY. A fiery freedom fighter who deeply detested the decadent slavers who comprised Herdessa's ruling class, Suzu and her lover Finn were present when an Alliance of Free Planets delegation arrived on Herdessa to negotiate formal diplomatic relations, and threw a ball of mud that hit Alliance leader Leia Organa in the face.
For that Suzu and Finn were hunted by Herdessan security services led by the cyborg Lumiya—Finn was captured, and Suzu was only spared a similar fate at Organa's direct intervention. Organa followed Suzu back to the rebellion's hideout, where Suzu educated her on her people's plight and won her to their cause. Suzu and Organa then led the fighting force to topple the Guild in a daring raid on a slave transaction with remnants of the Galactic Empire, rescuing a number of prisoners including Finn and Alliance diplomat Mon Mothma.
