Sera, a human female living on the planet Carnelion IV, existed during the time of the war fought between the Open and the Closed. Known by both sides as The Scavenger, Sera's mission was to gather artifacts from the destroyed civilization of the planet. Her ultimate goal was to inspire the younger generation to rebuild their world and end the conflict.
After discovering an ancient holographic recording that showed how to contact the Jedi, Sera sent out a Jedi distress beacon. Unbeknownst to her, the warrior she had seen in the recording was actually a Sith. Despite this, the signal was received by Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker. She had hoped the Jedi and their powers could forcibly bring the Open-Closed War to an end.
Following their crash landing caused by Pran, which downed both Kenobi and Grecker, the pair made their way toward Sera's fortress museum. They were then attacked by Carnelian dragons, leading Sera to open the doors of her museum as a sanctuary from the creatures. Grecker then tried to force Sera to shut the door, leaving Kenobi to die, but she shot him with a blaster. After Kenobi entered, Sera explained that the museum was a repository for salvaged items, kept in the hope of one day passing them on to the youth of Carnelion.
Sera then recounted how she had watched a recording and learned to transmit a Jedi distress signal. The Closed then attacked her fortress, so she and Kenobi went to the roof to observe the situation. She demanded that Kenobi kill all the Closed, but he told her that the Jedi sought to spare all life and did not kill without thought. Soon after the Closed attacked, the Open arrived, and a large battle began. Anakin then arrived with the young ones of the Open, and Kolara met with Sera on the roof. The Scavenger then explained her plan to launch kites with pieces of art attached to them, hoping to show the young ones that there was more to life than fighting. Kolara and the other young ones then went to join the battle, and Sera called them fools for not abandoning the war.
