Christa

Christa is a young woman from Earth, who was trapped in the Land of the Lost through similar circumstances to the Porters, sometime during the 1960's.
Not much is known about her life, but it is revealed she was born in Chicago and raised in San Francisco. At one point after her arrival, her family built a raft to try to sail to the other side of the ocean within the land of the Lost, hoping to find signs of civilization. In a subsequent storm, Christa was washed overboard, but she found refuge clinging to a floating tree trunk where after several days of drifting she found her way to a beach.
Separated from her parents, Christa grew up practically alone, and by the time the Porters encountered her, she had repressed almost everything about her previous life. Christa is fiercely independent and feels safe and at home in the jungle. However, she's not oblivious to its many dangers and uses her knowledge of its topography, inhabitants, and various medicinal plants to aid the Porters whenever she can. She is fluent in Pakuni often greeting her human friends with "Acuba Ne" to express both "hello" and "goodbye".
==Trivia==
* Christa is described as having long brown curly hair and wearing a fur bikini along with leather boots.
* Flashbacks of Christa as a child were seen in Life's a Beach.
* Christa has a yell similar to Tarzan's that can calm certain animals which she presumably learned from Stink making her the second jungle girl to imitate Tarzan’s yell the first being Rima from the 1970s Superfriends series.
* Christa was originally intended to be Holly Marshall from the original Land of the Lost (1974 TV series), but casting made this impossible. Though some fans still identify Christa with Holly, this is inconsistent with Christa's background (the Marshalls never mentioned owning a dog), age (Christa was much younger than 12 when she was separated from her parents), and appearance (Holly was a natural blonde with straight hair).
* Christa's background has one notable discrepancy with the classic Land of the Lost. In the original series, it was revealed the Marshalls were living in a closed universe whose borders touch its opposite borders. As Christa describes having gone to sea, it reveals that the Porters version of the Land of the Lost lacks this property of the original.
* Christa has named the Triceratops she has domesticated "Princess." We see that was the name of her childhood poodle on a Polaroid she has.
