* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Ming has been one for many years, starting ''way'' before her daughter was born. However, it's [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] and largely focused on just two aspects of her personality: her relationship with her mother Wu, and anything to do with the red panda. In her teenage years, Ming tried to be a good daughter to Wu, but realized that she would never live up to her mother's expectations. Eventually all of this pressure got to the point that she transformed out of sheer rage, attacking Wu and giving her her eyebrow scar in the first bout and destroying half of the temple during the second due to Wu disapproving of her relationship with Jin, the man who loved Ming for who she is. She's hated the panda ever since due to it causing more harm than good to her. She was determined to not make the same mistake with ''her'' daughter, only to do exactly that when Mei reached that first stage of self-discovery and independence. The fact that Mei's first act of open defiance also involves the panda is too much for Ming to handle.
