Biography
Dosmit Ræh served as a captain in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War. She flew a T-65B X-wing starfighter and served with the Tierfon Yellow Aces, a Rebel starfighter squadron. Several years after the war, Ræh's flight helmet was recovered by a young desert scavenger on Jakku named Rey. When Rey was a girl, Ræh became an important figure in Rey's life, with the young scavenger dreaming up stories about what Ræh was like and where she might have come from. Rey created a fighter pilot doll using a flight suit she recovered from a cargo container, and she would often wear Ræh's flight helmet. Together, Rey and "Ræh" would go on adventures by exploring Rey's home, the downed All Terrain Armored Transport called Hellhound Two, as well as the sands outside of the AT-AT. Rey eventually grew out of playing with the doll, but she kept the memory of Dosmit Ræh alive by keeping the doll and her helmet in her possession throughout her years on Jakku.

Behind the scenes
Although Ræh herself did not make an appearance in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, her flight helmet did. As confirmed in Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, said helmet bore the name of its owner in Aurebesh.
