Purna is a lively and spunky girl who is ambitious in her business endeavors. She wants very much to please her family with her success in the wilderness and the markets, looking for every opportunity to show off her trade. The panther is also rather hot-headed at times, her anger fueled more often than not by Shane and his blunders. She is quite smart in the ways of survival and business, considering herself independent, though she doesn't care to admit Shane has been very helpful at times.
