A commander within the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, Hera Tuix was a female Padawan who dedicated her service to both the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic.
Identified as Force-sensitive early in life, Hera Tuix underwent her initial education regarding the Force at the Jedi Temple's academy located on Coruscant. Following the commencement of the Clone Wars, a war between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, she was chosen to be a Padawan. Subsequently, Tuix was appointed as a commander in the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic.
While stationed at the Temple in 19 BBY, Tuix took part in the Apprentice Tournament, which was supervised by Jedi Master Ilena Xan. She progressed to the Round of Eight, which occurred in one of the Temple's refectories, but was ultimately bested by a wrist-lock maneuver executed by another apprentice, Whie Malreaux.
