Vukorah secretly brought Purry with her, and the tooka lived in cellars under the palace's kitchen until the Grand Leader discovered her.

==Biography==
Purry was a Loth-cat kept as a pet by the human female Vukorah during her childhood. At some point, by around 10 BBY, Vukorah was rescued from the streets by the Grand Leader of the Unbroken Clan criminal organization,Bounty Hunters 20 and she came to live at the Unbroken Clan Palace on the Core Worlds planetStar Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy Corellia. Vukorah secretly brought Purry with her, and the Loth-cat lived in the cellars under the palace's kitchen for some time. At some point, the Grand Leader discovered Purry and became enraged with Vukorah.
The Grand Leader then brought Vukorah to Purry, whom an Unbroken Clan guard held. He expressed disappointment with her for growing soft and taking in outside attachments and produced a blaster pistol, to which Purry hissed while still being held by the guard. Vukorah pleaded with the Grand Leader, telling him she would let the cat go and promised he would not see her again. In response, the Grand Leader handed Vukorah the blaster and told her that she would have to kill Purry to prove her love to the Unbroken Clan. As she held the weapon, Vukorah closed her eyes. Ultimately, Vukorah did not end the tooka's life, but the Grand Leader instead did in front of her.
