Prala was a Murgo Princess from the House of Cthan. She was about 16 by the events at Korim. She was a lady in waiting, of sorts, to Lady Tamazin of the House of Hagga, the mother of King Urgit of Cthol Murgos. Before Belgarion and his friends were taken to Rak Urga, Prala was the typical submissive Murgo lady; however, once in the presence of strong willed ladies like Polgara and Ce'Nedra, she changed and became much more individual and outspoken, frequently standing up to the men.
