* ArtifactOfPower: Her vase, which contains a willow sprig in a special liquid that can heal plants and trees of mystical origins (which comes [[MacGuffin in handy]] after Monkey knocks down a one-of-a-kind Man-fruit tree). According to an anecdote by Guan'yin, she once lost [[TheBet a bet]] to Lao Zi (probably to a game of cards) and [[HumiliatingWager had to give up her willow sprig to him]].
