A man was the parent of Tamara Ryvora, who is a human. This male was a well-known racer located on the planet of Kuat, and he journeyed from system to system with his daughter to participate in racing events. Because of her father's profession, Ryvora was inspired to depart from her homeworld and become a racer herself. In 34 ABY, Ryvora shared stories of her youth with her father to Synara San, a clandestine pirate.
The initial reference to Tamara Ryvora's father occurred in "Synara's Score," which is the eighth episode of Star Wars Resistance's first season. This animated TV show episode was broadcast on November 18, 2018. A sneak peek of the episode, featuring the scene where Ryvora's father was mentioned, was uploaded to the official Star Wars YouTube channel four days prior to when the episode was released. Brandon Auman, who served as the executive producer and head writer for Star Wars Resistance, believed that Ryvora did not comprehend the negative aspects of her father's connection to the Galactic Empire, as Ryvora's family was employed by it.
