To display his own bravery, Wukong nominated himself to jump through a large waterfall in order to find out what was behind it. Within the mountain, were many hidden areas. Sun Wukong was born from a mystical stone from the sky, on the Huāguǒ-shān (literally meaning Flower Fruit Mountain). He likes to cause mischief a lot for the sake of fun. Sun Wukong is very dependable, and cares a lot for his friends. He sympathizes with Tamamo due to their mutual desire to cause mischief and similar run-ins with the mystics. Sun Wukong shares a friendly rivalry with Nezha. As they come from the same realm, he is also old acquaintances with Nuwa and Fu Xi though the latter does not warmly receive him. Though he does not want to openly admit it, he still appreciates her kindness. He fears his old master, Xuanzang, who still has control of his magical slave circlet. He takes offense at being called a simple monkey and loves his new found freedom.
Faithful to his legends, he is the lovable and charismatic trickster who is extremely arrogant, confident that he can win over nearly anyone. Along with an almost always jolly demeanor, Sun Wukong is a non-malevolent villain.
