The Four Constellations
Tropes Associated With the Current Four Constellations
Four panda children bestowed with the hero qi of the Four Constellations— four masters with great kung fu skills.
- Animal Battle Aura: A strange variant, seeing as the bearers of said auras are also anthropomorphic animals.
- Badass Adorable: They are cute, chubby young pandas, but are also very badass kung fu masters.
- Four-Temperament Ensemble: Sanguine Nu Hai is excitable and always optimistic, choleric Bao is rude and sarcastic, melancholic Jing is brooding and aggressive, and phlegmatic Fan Tong is passive and timid. They're even color-coded, with their outfits being mostly red, green, blue, and yellow respectively.
- Glowing Eyes whenever they use their powers.
- Kid Hero: Though it's pointed out in one episode that they're technically adolescents.
- Ki Manipulation: They received the chi of the legendary Four Constellations.
- Power Stereotype Flip: They're all given a power that reflects a personality trait they need to develop.
- Uptight know-it-all Nu Hai is given the Blue Dragon hero qi, which requires her to learn how to calm down to access the power for the first time.
- Bao, who is known to seek attention, gets the Black Tortoise hero qi; in life, the actual Black Tortoise was known to be selfless in his exploits to defend others by using qi shields.
- Fan Tong, the Gentle Giant of the group, gains the Red Phoenix hero qi, which enables him to manifest a sword made of red qi.
- Jing has the hero qi of the White Tiger, giving her the ability to heal, completely opposite to her dark humor and tendency to solve everything by fighting.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: They were seen as this by the panda villagers because of their tendency to cause trouble. That is also part of the reason why Po was initially hesitant to train them.
- Teach Me How To Fight: To Po, after getting their powers.
Nu Hai
Voiced by: Haley TjuForeign VAs
The overachieving leader of the Four Constellations and sister of Bao. Current holder of the Blue Dragon's hero qi.
- Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: She really wanted Po to make her his apprentice. Likewise, she also takes her role as a member of the Four Constellations a bit too seriously, to the point of rushing into dangerous situations to help Po or to prove herself to the world.
- Genius Bruiser: She knows how to kick ass but is also very smart and tactical.
- Hand Blast: How her powers from the Blue Dragon manifest.
- Know-Nothing Know-It-All: According to Bao, her greatest fear is to realize she's not as smart as she thinks she is.
- The Leader: Falls between Levelheaded and Headstrong. While she tries to lead the rest of the kids with a clear head and tries to inspire them, her overzealous nature gets the group in over their heads multiple times, up to the point where she freezes multiple times from trying to make a decision.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Despite the fact that Po was holding his own against Jade Tusk and the Poison Clan, Nu Hai believed that they should "help" Po by throwing a pebble at Jade Tusk despite her friends' insistence that he didn't need her help. Jade Tusk dodged the pebble, it hit Po, who then was stunned long enough for him to get beat up by the Poison Clan and then finished off by Jade Tusk. Luckily, Nu Hai and her friends successfully unlocked their qi before Po could be captured.
- Whole Costume Reference: Her outfit does hearken back to Tigress' outfit in the first/second movie. She confesses later on that Tigress is her idol, as also hinted by her Tigress doll in the first episode.
Bao
For Bao, see here.
Jing
Voiced by: Laya HayesForeign VAs
The tough, aggressive healer of the Four Constellations. Current holder of the White Tiger's hero qi.
- Buffy Speak
- Glowing Eyes of Doom/Mind-Control Eyes: Glows a radioactive green whenever Jindiao possesses/influences her.
- Hair-Trigger Temper:Po, expositing about the Four Constellations: [White Tiger] was so chill, he wouldn't hurt a fly.
[cut to Jing trying to punch a fly for looking at her weird]- Jiandao refers to her as the "weird, angry" panda after she heals him and accidentally creates a connection with him.
- Healing Hands: How her powers from the White Tiger manifest.
- Jedi Mind Trick: After tapping into her healing for the first time and healing both her allies and the water deer henchmen, she influences the latter to leave peacefully with blank, white-eyed stares.
- Time Stands Still: A passive effect that occurred when she tapped into her power for the first time.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In Episode 5 of Season 2, Jing heals an injured servant at the Forbidden City, who later in the same episode tries to assassinate the Empress. Even though there's no way she could have known the servant would do so, Jing beats herself up about it for a while.Jing: No... I saved her. If she killed Zhao or Fan Tong, that would've been on me. What good is having a healing power if it ends up saving someone who wants to hurt us?
- Nightmare Fetishist: The first thing she looks forward to after entering the temple of the Four Constellations is seeing dead bodies.
- Traumatic Superpower Awakening: After Jade Tusk and her cohorts began to fight against her friends and the pika monks.Jing, clutching her head: Please — can everyone just — stop fighting!
Fan Tong
Voiced by: Makana SayForeign VAs
The kind-hearted, sensitive muscle of the Four Constellations. Current holder of the Red Phoenix's hero qi.

- Cowardly Lion: His main character arc involves gaining courage and stepping in to save the day.
- Gentle Giant: The nicest and the biggest of the four.
- Lame Comeback: The main provider for these; the worst thing he's ever said about the main villain was that "he wasn't very nice".
- Ship Tease: With Xiao in the second part of the first season.
- Took a Level in Badass: He's braver, more willing to stand up to himself, and more confident. He also beats Bao in a fight whereas in the first episode he could only cower as the latter beat him up in a play fight. Additionally, he's starting to develop his qi better for the sake of protecting Xiao.
- Traumatic Superpower Awakening: By way of a gigantic four-armed demon threatening his friends.
The Original Four Constellations
Voiced by: Mick Wingert (Black Tortoise), JB Blanc (Blue Dragon), Steve Blum (Red Phoenix), James Sie (White Tiger)
A quartet of ancient kung fu warriors whose chi is absorbed by the panda kids, who become their successors.- Heroic Sacrifice: They died banishing Jindiao's soul from his body.
- Posthumous Character: They died years ago and are only seen in the Spirit Realm.
- Speak in Unison: Played for laughs; each member of the Four Constellations tends to speak over each other.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: One would think that a literal dragon and phoenix kung fu masters would turn some heads.
Antagonists
Jindiao
Voiced by: Steve BlumForeign VAs
The original Dragon Master and former mentor to the original Four Constellations, before he became Drunk with Power. He attempted to steal the qi from his students before being defeated and sealed away.
- Ancient Evil: He was defeated by his students and trapped in a mortal body one thousand years prior to the events of the series.
- A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: Inverted. He turned on his students, the original Four Constellations.
- Arch-Enemy:
- To his students the Four Constellations both the original and new.
- To Po, after Jindiao manipulated one of his students, Jing, to steal his his chi.
- Bad Boss: He constantly mistreats his minions, especially when they fail. He also willingly shoots Jade Tusk with a fire blast to make a point that they meant nothing to him now that he was back to his full power.
- Big Bad: The main villain for the first arc of the show, which centers around his efforts to use the Wellspring to regain his dragon form and conquer the world.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He pretended to be a kind elderly monk while plotting to take over the world.
- Broken Pedestal: To Jade Tusk and the Poison Clan as of the second story arc of the first season.
- Dragons Are Demonic: He's an evil, powerful dragon who's the Big Bad of the first season and the second arc-based dragon antagonist of the franchise after Ke-Pa. And just like with Ke-Pa, we also see him in the body of another animal before his dragon body is revealed.
- Evil Counterpart: To Po, as the Dragon Master and mentor to the Four Constellations. They even fight as dragons in the Spirit Realm.
- Fate Worse than Death: His spirit is locked into a Spirit Urn and sent to the Spirit Realm forever, trapped with the annoying spirit of his host body and the Yaoguai, forced to listen to all of the demons problems against his will.
- Glowing Eyes of Doom: Glows a radioactive, bright green whenever using his qi powers.
- Godhood Seeker: His ultimate goal is to access the Wellspring of qi below the Panda Village to return to his true dragon form and rule as a god.
- Grand Theft Me: As the Four Constellations lacked the Spirit Urn necessary to seal his spirit, they settled for simply banishing his spirit out of his body. In order to survive he bound his soul to the first body he could find; that of a random Lämmergeier.
- Jedi Mind Trick/Mind Control: Usually the one to inflict this on others to get his way.
- No Body Left Behind: When his soul is trapped in the Spirit Urn, his physical body disintegrates.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: By day, he masquerades as a senile, Oogway-esque grand abbot that teaches a horde of pika monks that are none the wiser.
- Kick the Dog: He often indulges in this. Other than frequently mistreating his minions, he also destroyed the panda village while cackling at the people screaming for their lives.
- Physical God: He succeeds in becoming a god after returning to his dragon form.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: His dragon form qualifies.
- Scaled Up: When he regains his dragon form.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: The first story arc of the first season ends with him sealed away in the Spirit Urn.
- Sickly Green Glow: Like Kai before him, Jindiao’s Color Motif is the sickly glowing green of corrupted chi. His dragon form also spews green fire.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He's an Arc Villain and an ancient demonic dragon Big Bad who is first shown in the body of another animal before his dragon form is ultimately revealed. Considering how Ke-Pa even got a brief mention during the first season when Jindiao was the main villain, it's almost as if Ke-Pa was the villain the writers wanted to use for The Paws of Destiny but couldn't because he was already destroyed by Po so they had to create a new villain from scratch with many of Ke-Pa's traits. For bonus points, Po also dies temporarily in battles against both Ke-Pa and Jindiao, albeit under different circumstances.
- Vampiric Draining: When taking the qi of others, it's implied that he has used it to keep his host body alive for the past thousand years. Once he takes Po's and the Four Constellation's qi, he reverts back to his dragon form.
Jade Tusk
Voiced by: Cherise BootheForeign VAs
Jindiao's right-hand woman, apprentice, and leader of the Deer Monks, who also serve him.
- Combat Pragmatist: She defeats Po by having her clan members giving him a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown and then kicking him into the air while he was stunned from the pummeling. Po can't even recover before he's surrounded by swords after that.
- The Dragon: Serves as Jindiao's right hand and leader of his minions up until the season finale, when Jindiao turns on her.
- Fangs Are Evil: Subverted when she reforms.
- Good Is Not Soft: Threatens Shi-Long with a knife to the throat in order to find Xiao.
- Heel–Face Turn: After being told outright that her loyalty meant nothing to Jindiao, it was ultimately the reason why she switched sides and even gave back the Spirit Urn to the pandas.
- Hidden Depths: Surprisingly enough, Jade Tusk is a good teacher, showing patience and understanding for the quirks in her students. It becomes more endearing when she's teaching Xiao how to do kung fu.
- It Was a Gift: Her jade tusk was a gift from Jindiao.
- Kick Chick: Downplayed since she also fights with her arms and she shows proficiency with weapons, but she prefers using her legs for combat most of the time.
- Mama Bear: To her students. She pretty much storms a palace to save Xiao from Shi-Long and later joins Po and his students into fighting an immortal army just to keep her safe.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: She dresses in red, has an antagonistic relationship with Po, wants to please her father and mentor despite his abusive behavior, and becomes a better person and fighter in her next appearance. She's pretty much Tigress as a herbivore.
- Together in Death: During a fight on which Jindiao was buried in an avalanche, Jade Tusk was willing to be buried to die beside him. Both of them survive.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Jade Tusk was abusive to her underlings and intolerant of failures, even hitting them in the middle of battle. Now she's a teacher and she's willing to defend the helpless.
- Would Hurt a Child: Lampshaded in the first episode and demonstrated across the first story arc as she and her clan fight and injure the Four Constellations despite them being kids.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: After a season's worth of being treated horribly from her employer as a result of her multiple failures, it ultimately culminates into a moment in the finale where Jade Tusk is held as a hostage by Mei Mei to deter the attacks... only for Jindiao to laugh and rebuke that she never mattered to him before attacking the both of them to make a point.
- Mei Mei, off to the side: Wow, that is really cold.
Rooster
Voiced by: Michael RivkinForeign VAs
An arrogant and self-obsessed bandit leader.
- Enemy Mine: Joins forces with Po and his allies in the second arc of season one.
- Glad I Thought of It: Any idea that works must have been his.
- Ignored Epiphany: At the end of season one, he decides to go straight, and then immediately sees a cart of corn and begins justifying why taking it isn't stealing.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: He wants to become a powerful crime lord, but just isn't cut out for it. He never poses a real threat to the protagonists whenever they come into conflict.
- It's All About Me: His two interests are taking what he wants and surviving to appreciate it, for which he will ally with or betray anyone. If at all possible he will declare himself the leader of any group he's part of and ignore any claims to the contrary.
- Jerkass: He's a massive self-centered prick who puts his own needs above those of his allies, even in Enemy Mine situations where he needs the help of the heroes.
- One-Steve Limit: An aversion. He is not the same character as Master Rooster from Legends of Awesomeness.
Wing
Voiced by: Piotr Michael
Another one of Rooster's henchmen, the blue one.
- Ambiguously Gay:
- In "A Game of Fists," he says that he's a couple with Wong and that they thought it was obvious after being question due to a line from Rooster about losing a wedding gift for Wing and Wong. However, later in the episode, Rooster tells Wing he made up the part about their wedding gift to get the kids on their side, which apparently neither Wing nor Wong realized, so whether the whole thing was a joke or not is confusing.
- Though as the series goes on, the ambiguity over whether Rooster was lying about them being a couple or just the wedding becomes less ambiguous as Wing and Wong do things like hold hands for no real reason, call each other darling, talk about having kids, offer a "helping hoof" in the bathroom, and most blatantly have Wing call Wong "the love of my life." But since it's a PG series, they never do anything explicitly romantic.
- Ascended Extra: Gains a bigger role in the second half of season one.
- Enemy Mine: Alongside Wong and Rooster, he is forced to work with Po and his allies during the second half of the season to survive Shi Long's machinations.
- Those Two Guys: With Wong.
Wong
Voiced by: Piotr Michael
One of Rooster's henchmen, the red one.
- Ambiguously Gay:
- In "A Game of Fists," he says that he's madly in love with Wing after being questioned due to a line from Rooster about losing a wedding gift for Wing and Wong. However, later in the episode, Rooster tells Wing he made up the part about their wedding gift to get the kids on their side, which apparently neither Wing nor Wong realized, so whether the whole thing was a joke or not is ambiguous.

But since it's a PG series, they never do anything explicitly romantic.
- Ascended Extra: Gains a bigger role in the second half of season one.
- Enemy Mine: Alongside Wing and Rooster, he forced to work with Po and his allies during the second half of the season to survive Shi Long's machinations.
- Fake Pregnancy: Wong says that he's with child on one occasion, says that "one of us" is pregnant on another occasion, and says they have an unborn child on yet another occasion. There are viewers who quickly took this at face value and were shocked to find out that Wong is actually a woman. However it's extremely unlikely that he's a woman and even less likely that he's pregnant. First, he doesn't wear a shirt when every other female character in the series does. Second, he gets beat up, tossed around, knocked out and abused way too much for a pregnant woman (including but not limited to falling down a volcano onto his stomach, followed up by being slammed into a volcano wall 10 times hard). Thirdly at no point does Wong show any signs of actual being pregnant, and no character takes it seriously. Po's immediate action following hearing that Wong is pregnant is to roll his eyes and pick Wong up and throw him onto a bridge, which then breaks and slams Wong into a cliff, and nobody is concerned. It's more likely a running joke that Wing and Wong are both so stupid that they think they've been getting each other pregnant. This is backed up by Wong saying "one of us" is pregnant in the finale, which is an odd wording choice and shows he probably doesn't have much understanding on how it works, since Wing is confirmed male.
- Those Two Guys: With Wing.
Yaoguai
Voiced by: Mitch Watson
A demon who is summoned by Jindiao to help him retrieve an important scroll from the panda kids.- An Arm and a Leg: He loses one of his hands when Fan Tong slices it off with his chi sword. Even in the Spirit Realm, it has not grown back.
- Creator Cameo: He is voiced by series co-developer and writer Mitch Watson.
- Gentle Giant: He may be a ferocious demon but he's actually quite friendly. He and Po become fast friends in the Spirit Realm.
- Motor Mouth: He chats a lot, to the dismay of Po and later, his future Spirit Realm roommate Jindiao.
Huifang
Voiced by: Cherise Boothe
One of Jindiao's warrior monks and Jade Tusk's subordinate.- Motor Mouth: To Jade Tusk's annoyance.
Shi Long
Voiced by: Sumalee MontanoForeign VAs
A komodo dragon and sorceress. The adopted daughter and adviser to Emperor Kang Zi.
- Big Bad Wannabe: She thinks the Voice in the Shadows is her partner, and that the two will rule China together. The Voice turns on her and eats her the moment she no longer has a use.
- The Dragon: To the Voice in the Shadows ( aka the White Bone Demon). As a komodo dragon, the pun was
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: While Jindiao is an evil spirit who is physically powerful and is more hands-on when enacting his schemes, Shi Long relies on her cunning, manipulation, and control of corrupt royal guards.
- Early-Bird Cameo: She made a brief appearance in the very last scene at the end of the first half of season 1, which aired way before the episode where she was officially introduced.
- Easily Forgiven: Zig-zagged. She does show remorse for her actions, but only after being saved by the heroes from Baigujing. Xiao forgives her and acts chipper towards her, but still jails her for her numerous crimes. Her cell is placed by throne room, however, so Xiao can spend more time with her.
- Evil Chancellor: To the Emperor.
- Evil Is Not a Toy: Learns this the hard way when she releases the White Bone Demon into the mortal realm, believing the latter would serve her out of gratitude. Instead, the demon devours her once she's outlived her usefulness.
- Freudian Excuse: Her adoptive parents started to ignore her after the birth of their biological daughter, Xiao.
- Furry Reminder: She constantly hisses and flicks her tongue.
- The Heavy: The Voice in the Shadows is left without a body for the majority of the show, meaning Shi Long is the de facto main antagonist actively overseeing their schemes and fighting against the Constellations until the penultimate episode.
- Obviously Evil: As a reptile with dark purple eyes with Hellish Pupils and a sickly-sweet voice. Lampshaded by Nu Hai.Nu Hai: Do you get a vibe from the Shi Long lady? Not like an "Oh my gosh, she's evil!" but just, like, a vibe?
- Patricide: It turns out she poisoned the Emperor, her adoptive father. She really did care about him, but the White Bone Demon had convinced her it was necessary.
- Malicious Monitor Lizard: She's a villainous komodo dragon.
- Sibling Rivalry: Her primary motivation is jealousy over her adopted sister Xiao.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Once the White Bone Demon doesn't need her any more, it swallows her (fortunately whole). Jade Tusk sees it coming, because she's got experience there.
The Voice in the Shadows
Voiced by: Elisa Gabrielli
The mysterious figure Shi Long works for. Eventually revealed to be the White Bone Demon/Baigujing.
- Arch-Enemy: The main enemy of Sun Wukong.
- Big Bad: The main villain of the second arc of the show, manipulating Shi Long into building her a body so she can continue her consumption of souls across China.
- Final Boss: She's the final villain fought by Po and the Four Constellations in this series, serving as the second and final Arc Villain of The Paws of Destiny.
- Humongous Mecha: Shi Long's master plan involved building one to serve as her new body.
- Light Is Not Good: Both her mech body and her true spirit form use silver and light-blue colors, along with white light.
- Manipulative Bitch: She befriends a lonely child Shi Long and uses her vulnerability and resentment towards her parents and sister to make her into a loyal henchwoman.
- Soul Eating: In Rooster's tale, she is portrayed as devouring souls and leaving a small doll behind of the victim.
- Spikes of Villainy: Her mechanical body has spikes and sharp blades.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: To Pang Bing from Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness. It's not apparent at first glance because Pang Bing is a cat and Baigujing is a bat, in addition to being based off a character from a classic Chinese novel written centuries before Pang Bing's creation. However, at second glance, the two of them have some very striking similarities since both are ancient female mystics who lived centuries ago. Additionally, the two of them also manipulate royal courts to work their own agendas, with Pang Bing controlling Duke Zhihui and Baigujing manipulating Shi Long. Both characters also serve as the Final Boss of their respective series. And furthermore, in the final battles involving both of these villains, giant mechas are involved, albeit with Pang Bing, she merely mind controlled Po's villains into attacking him with their robots whereas the White Bone Demon piloted her own Humongous Mecha. And last but not least, both characters manage to survive the Series Finale, with the only difference being that Pang Bing got captured but Baigujing managed to get away undetected.
Other Characters

- Glowing Eyes: And ears.
- Hermit Guru: He is a thousand-year-old kung fu master who has incredible chi powers, and lives in a cave.
- Meaningful Name: His name is a reference to Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk from the 6th century.
- My Greatest Failure: After being tasked with creating the Spirit Urn, he fails to deliver... because he slept in.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: However how much of it is an act or a result of old age is ambiguous at best. Po even refers to him as having dementia.
- Older Than They Look: Actually a thousand years old. It's implied that he was taking medicine to extend his life.
Zhizhu
Voiced by: Jeff BennettForeign VAs
A giant spider tasked with guarding the Wellspring.- Curb-Stomp Battle: His battle against Nu Hai, Jing, Fan Tong, and Bao is almost completely one sided in his favor. He later delivers one to Jade Tusk’s gang as well.
- Flipping Helpless: Downplayed, he gets back up quite quickly after Nu Hai and Jing flip him over, but clearly has difficulty doing so.
- Gate Guardian: His main job involves taking care of the Wellspring. He leaves at the end of season one, once all the Wellspring's qi is distributed to all of China.
- Giant Spider: He even scares the pandas with his appearance before he shows his friendly true nature.
- MacGuffin Guardian: Downplayed; he informs the kids that as pandas they're allowed passage in the caves... if they have the passage scrolls that give them permission. Otherwise, he'll have to eat them.
- Meaningful Name: Derived from the Chinese word for spider (zhīzhū, 蜘蛛).
- Older Than They Look: Seeing as he calls himself the Weapon of the Four Constellations, it's implied that he's at least a thousand years old.
The Flying Pika Monks
Voiced by: Grey Griffin
The inhabitants of the Plumblossom Temple and Jindiao's students, who are completely oblivious of his true identity.
- All Monks Know Kung-Fu: They may be part of Jindiao's cover as a spiritual leader, but that didn't stop him from turning them into skilled warrior monks.
- Helium Speech: They all have high-pitched, squeaky voices.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter
Xiao
Voiced by: Lacey Chabert
Emperor Kang Zi's biological daughter and heir to the throne.
- A Child Shall Lead Them: She is only 15, but next in line to take the throne after her father's death.
- Break the Cutie: In spades; Shi Long takes her to a nearby village and gives an ultimatum— either abdicate the throne to her or she destroys it by the hands of the terracotta guardians. Xiao relents and gives up the title of Empress, but Shi Long destroys it and kills the villagers anyway as a punishment for trying to escape with Jade Tusk.
- It gets to a point that when faced with another chance to escape with Jade Tusk, she turns her away in fear of possible repercussions.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Hasn't been heard of since the start of The Dragon Knight, and in that series there's a new emperor of an entirely different species.
- Improbable Weapon User: Played for laughs; after a fake training session with General Fang meant to placate her, he hands her a comb and states that it is a dangerous weapon. Jade Tusk is far from impressed.
- Innocently Insensitive: Empress Xiao has a propensity to be insensitive, since she probably spent her life being raised as a princess inside the palace, without interacting with the rest of the world. Her upbringing has given her No Social Skills, and in addition to sometimes being insensitive (usually to her Evil Chancellor, Shi Long) and oversharing her feelings, she doesn't know the difference between the species in her own nation.Xiao: (to Shi Long) I made you an outfit for the funeral. This style will flatter anyone, even someone with numerous body flaws such as yourself!Xiao: My imperial guards will prepare a large shipment of food and resources to be sent back with you to Chinchillaville.Rabbit: Uh, I'm actually a rabbit.Xiao: Of course you are.
- It Was a Gift: After training, Jade Tusk gives up her... jade tusk so she could use it as a weapon. Later in the season it's forged into a proper knife with a chain attached to its handle.
- One-Steve Limit: Subverted. Mr. Ping named a young Po "Xiao Po," but he no longer goes by that name, instead taking up his father's surname.
- Prone to Tears: Played for laughs when grieving over her father. Less so after seeing a village being razed to the ground.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: Despite forces conspiring to keep her from doing so, she manages to become a competent fighter and ultimately is the one to deliver the finishing blow in the big fight at the end.
Sun Wukong
Voiced by: James Sie
A trickster god that crosses paths with Po and the Constellations on their way to Forbidden City.
- Dream Weaver: He can control other people's dreams and insert himself in them.
- Expy Coexistence: Putting aside some continuity issues between the shows, Monkey had a brother named Wu Kong in Legends of Awesomeness and was clearly based off of the mythological Sun Wukong, including his mischievious prankster personality. In Paws of Destiny the KFP incarnation of Sun Wukong from Journey to the West makes his official appearance as the real deal, up to and including his own feud against the White Bone Demon.
- One-Steve Limit: Monkey's brother is named Wukong after his own namesake.
- Power-Strain Blackout: Downplayed; in the final fight of the season, he both duplicates and have said duplicates transform to Po and the panda kids— powers included. As the fight continues on, the transformed duplicates disappear in a puff of smoke, leaving the actual Sun Wukong trying to keep his transformed state and failing.
- Red Right Hand: Zigzagged; on the instances where a character recognizes him, his monkey tail gives him away. On the times where they don't, only his eyes do.
- Self-Duplication: He can multiply himself several times.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He's a monkey with a prankster personality and is voiced by James Sie, the same person who voiced Monkey in Legends of Awesomeness. And since nobody in the Furious Five appeared in this series, Monkey's stand-in for Paws of Destiny may as well be Sun Wukong.
- Trickster God: A trickster god in Chinese mythology, he also uses his powers to play the occasional prank.
- Voluntary Shapeshifter: He can shapeshift into other people and creatures and uses these powers to spy on Po, the kids, and other characters throughout the season.
- Wild Card: While he does assist the heroes, his aid amounts to simply watching our heroes from afar, and occasionally antagonizing them in a way that happens to push them towards the right path. When he tries to use his assistance as proof he can be trusted, it's countered that none of his "help" really counts enough to warrant trusting him.
