Discovered to be Force-sensitive at a young age, Seenlu Kir was taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for training in the ways of the Force. Studying for years as an Initiate in the Temple's academy, Kir eventually graduated and was taken as a Padawan by a Jedi Master. After years of traveling together, Kir passed her Trials of Knighthood and was made a Jedi Knight by the Jedi High Council. Continuing her studies independently, Kir followed the path of the Jedi Consular in order to help bring peace to worlds throughout the galaxy.

On an assignment for the High Council, Kir's hands were scarred when she failed her mission. Donning gloves to hide her hands, Kir began to wear pants and vests as opposed to the traditional robes of the Order. Soon after this failure, Jedi Kir traveled to the Cularin system and began working out of the academy on Almas. Taking on a teaching position, Kir trained students at all levels before being assigned to oversee the dormitories of the youngest Initiates.

In 20 BBY, Seenlu Kir was ranked as Jedi Master before the Clone Wars, and served as general in the Grand Army of the Republic. She eventually took a young female Zeltron named Thiana as her padawan, and trained her well in the Force.

During the Second Battle of Naboo, Seenlu and her apprentice fought in the Grassy Plain lands where the Jedi were leading forces to defend the city of Theed from the Separatist army. When were forced to fall back, Seenlu engaged Tol Skorr in a duel. Tol Skorr sensed the anger in her and told her to embrace it, but Seenlu was strong enough to resist it. Refusing to give in to the dark side, Skorr disarmed her, and plunged his lightsaber into her chest.

Thiana witnessed her death, and charged to avenge her before she was overwhelmed by battle droids and killed in action. Her funeral was held, along with others who perished in the deadly battle.
