Runa is extremely compassionate. She has lots of natural maternal instinct. She believes in honoring the trust that friendship implies and that friends are family. Runa is the least judgmental person you can ever meet, other than her sister. She is slow to offend and anger as she always gives the person the benefit of the doubt. Children love her because she always can see from their point of view and is patient enough to explain things to them.
