Grandma Panda was first seen as being the caretaker of her two grandchildren, Nu Hai and Bao. When the four panda children get in trouble after destroying the Sacred Peach Statue, she attempts to console Nu Hai and Bao by insisting that everybody will forget in due time. Her Grandchildren don't feel very comforted. Later, when Nu Hai, Bao, Jing, and Fan Tong are freaking out about their newly acquired Chi powers- Grandma Panda comes into their room to scold them about staying up too late. She's also the one who found and read the scroll about the late Four Constellations upon her grandchildren's request.

Personality[]

Grandma Panda has been described as having a "feisty spirit."[1] She is kind and sweet not to mention very affectionate, often pulling Po's cheeks and complimenting him on how handsome he is. Because of her old age, she can be a bit slow but has proven to be a competent fighter. She can be very spunky, as shown when she fights the jombies and refers to herself near the end as a lethal fighting machine.
