Her ear is purple because the light is coming from the right. The top of her ear is in shadow - but it's also being lit from underneath, through the thin skin of her ears. And her ears are pink because of her skin color, her fur color, and the blood running through. Blue/twilight shading from being in the shade, mixed with being underlit with pink, is purple.
