The further I get into rebels, the more I realize that Hera Syndulla is only the voice of reason among the Ghost crew by default.
Like, this woman is not normal. She could have anybody in the galaxy and she went for a wanted criminal with superpowers. She ran away from her family's palatial mansion to go live in a camper with said criminal boyfriend. Her job experience includes "getaway driver" and that's it. Some punk tried to steal from her and she immediately went "where are the adoption papers, I'm ready to sign". The only reason Hera seems normal is because her family consists of a kleptomaniac, a pyromaniac, a man who spent the first fifteen years of his life in a monastery and the next fifteen years of his life getting drunk, a mass murderer trapped in the body of a trash bin, and a guy who probably lists aggravated assault as a hobby on his Grindr profile.
Hera is the most reasonable member of the Ghost crew. Which is kind of like being the tallest Ewok.
I like to play things I can get my teeth into. You call it villains; I say they’re people who provide the engine of the plot. There is no drama without conflict. If you have a day where everyone’s nice to you, and one person treats you appallingly, that’s the thing you’re going to remember when you go to bed.
