Who is Purah, and where should you look first?

Purah leads the investigation from Lookout Landing, the walled base south of Hyrule Castle in Tears of the Kingdom. Find her at the research building after descending from the Great Sky Island. Her opening assignment leads to the paraglider, while later conversations connect the regional stories to the next main quest.

Which quests involve Purah?

QuestHow it starts or continuesReward or story result
Crisis at Hyrule CastleSpeak to Purah after reaching the surface; the later castle visit follows the regional investigationsOpening portion: paraglider and tower access; later portion: the next main-story lead
Regional PhenomenaFinish the early Lookout Landing sequence and speak to herFour regional storylines, each leading to a sage’s vow
Find the Fifth SageReport back after the later castle investigationA route to Mineru; her vow comes from completing the Spirit Temple storyline
The paraglider item message appears while Link stands beside Purah
The paraglider is obtained during the opening tower sequence.

Why has the next quest not appeared?

Read the current objective in the Adventure Log and finish its return conversation. Clearing a dungeon and reporting the regional result are parts of the same progression; revisit Purah after the regional stories, and again after the later castle investigation. The opening castle visit alone does not finish the entire castle quest.

For the sensor, Travel Medallion or Hero’s Path Mode, follow Robbie’s upgrade sequence. Returning to Purah with materials will not install those functions.
