Girard held the rank of captain within the New Republic Defense Fleet, serving as the commanding officer aboard the cruiser known as the Dawnbringer, and was a human.
As a veteran of the Galactic Civil War, Captain Girard served within the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Following the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, the Rebel Alliance was reformed into the New Republic, and Girard subsequently enlisted in the New Republic Defense Fleet, eventually achieving the rank of Captain. In 9 ABY, acting on orders issued by Fleet Command, she commanded three Defender-class cruiser, including her own vessel, the Dawnbringer, and was dispatched to Seatos to intervene in General Hera Syndulla's unauthorized mission there.
Girard displayed a distinct lack of tolerance for deceptive tactics that might have worked on a less experienced soldier.
Eisa Davis played Girard in "Part Five: Shadow Warrior," the fifth episode of the Ahsoka television series, which aired on September 12, 2023.
