Purnia was a Peacekeeper in District 12. It is unknown whether or not she was actually from District 12, as Peacekeepers are drafted by the Capitol and are moved throughout the districts.

HistoryEdit

Not much is known about Purnia aside from the fact that she was a common customer at Greasy Sae's. When Gale accidentally presented a poached turkey to Romulus Thread, intending to sell it to Cray, he was sentenced to being publicly whipped. Purnia stepped forward when Katniss, Haymitch and Peeta arrived protecting Gale, though stiffly as she did not want to end up like Darius, who had been previously beaten for intervening. Purnia lied to Thread and convinced him to decrease Gale's number of lashes, saying that it was Gale's first offence. After Thread left, Purnia was one of the many Peacekeepers to help Darius, earning Katniss' thanks. After this, Purnia is not seen again and it is unknown if she was one of many to die in the destruction of District 12.

TriviaEdit

• Purnia and the female Peacekeeper who arrived at Katniss' home in Catching Fire to inform her that the fence would be turned on from now on were the only two female Peacekeepers that Katniss mentioned in the series. As Effie mentioned a female peacekeeper in District 11.
