Her proper name is Jane Dodge (later changed to Joan Grayson). She was once a rich orphan and aviatrix whose plane crashed over an African jungle. After fashioning a bikini from a dead giraffe, Joan replaced Nurla, the white goddess of a local tribe after defeating a starving leopard armed only with a dagger. She spent seven years surviving the jungle with her pet panther, Saber.

Rulah is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, jungle magic, and wrestling. Her loyalty to her region of the jungle is undying, and she has chosen never to return to the United States. She had a boyfriend named Tim Pointer who had amnesia, but later found Rulah and was saved from the villainous Sivo, a rival jungle girl. Rulah convinced Tim though she had no interest in going home and marrying him.

Besides Sivo, Rulah's enemies included Black Fury, the Cat Queen & her Maidens, Nisba the Witch Doctor, Miss Hogge, and Hagga.

* The GCD considers Matt Baker's authorship to be uncertain. The cover of Zoot Comics #7 is currently attributed to Jack Kamen. When attempting to credit stories and artwork from the Golden Age, it is common to confuse artists such as Jack Kamen, Edmond Good, and Matt Baker. Their similar artistic styles often lead to misattribution, with many stories initially credited to one artist and later reassigned as further research clarifies the true illustrator.
*Rulah was referenced four times in Dr. Fredric Wertham's ''Seduction of the Innocent''.
*Rulah was re-named and re-printed as a separate character multiple times: as Tegra, Jungle Empress (later changed to Zegra), Kolah, and Pulah, as well as Rulah, it is difficult to determine the creator(s).
