Hera is the first sucessful Human/Cylon Hybrid, the culmination of the Cylons' experiments to achieve viable procreation.
Her parents are the human Lt. Karl "Helo" Agathon of Galactica and a copy of the Number Eight-model of Cylon ("Caprica" Valerii) who took part in the Cylon experiment to set up Helo into falling in love with and impregnating her.
This experiment is necessary because the forced cross-breeding experiments in the Cylon Farms met with complete failure. The Cylons theorized that the key element to procreation that was missing was love (an important element to Cylons, because they believe that "God is love").
As a result, Hera is currently the only successful progeny of a humanoid Cylon, and therefore literally considered a "miracle of God" by the Cylons.
Hera is conceived 24 days after the Cylon attack on Caprica, in a night of passion after Helo "rescues" Caprica-Valerii from what was really a Cylon deception to test his love. Caprica-Valerii is ordered to convince Helo to stay in "hiding" on Caprica, but instead Valerii falls in love with Helo herself. Valerii begins helping him to escape the Cylons, apparently switching her allegiance over to the Colonials.
Starbuck (who arrived earlier on Caprica to retrieve the Arrow of Apollo) leaves with Caprica-Valerii and Helo in a captured Heavy Raider. Caprica-Valerii is incarcerated in Galactica's brig for the next few months, as her pregnancy continued to advance.
Hera is born by emergency surgery one month premature. President Roslin arranges with Dr. Cottle to fake Hera's death, then secretly gives the child to a woman named Maya under the guise that the child is the daughter of a Pegasus officer, who must give her up for political and religious reasons. The subterfuge, Roslin presumes, is necessary to keep Hera safe from humanoid Cylons that may be hiding in the Fleet (Downloaded). Maya, unaware of the her new child's past, names the girl Isis (Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II).
Hera/Isis is presumed to be the child Gaius Baltar is told he will one day raise by and with his vision of Number Six. Baltar received this information in a vision he had while trapped on the planet Kobol. However, unaware of what President Roslin has done, Baltar, like the rest of the people who knew about her, believes Hera/Isis to be dead.
When the Fleet settles on New Caprica under the rule of newly-elected President Baltar, Roslin begins teaching at a settlement elementary school with Maya. Maya keeps Hera/Isis in a cradle identical to the one Baltar saw in his vision.
As the plan to escape Cylon-occupied New Caprica is about to be executed, Roslin hides Maya and Isis in the resistance's underground bunker for protection. The former president tasks resistance leader Samuel Anders and two bodyguards to protect Maya and Hera/Isis at all costs (Exodus, Part I). During their attempted escape, Maya is killed and Hera/Isis, is found next to the body of her adoptive mother by President Baltar, Caprica Six, and D'anna Biers (Exodus, Part II).
Notes
In a deleted subplot from "Downloaded", Gina and D'anna Biers scheme to kidnap Hera at Gaius Baltar's request. Gina expresses disgust at Hera being named for a human god. When D'anna asks Gina what they should call the baby, Gina suggests "Thirteen."
