Shes one of the very few humans who can read the ancient language of the Gods, and was raised by a scholar. But because his powers are unavailable, the speech ultimately leads to nothing.

Back Handed Compliment: Pigsy tells Monkey that his upstairs is only good for growing beautiful hair.Back from the Dead: Along with Gaxin, the Dark Queen Hakuru is brought back into Monicas body.Back for the Dead: Gaxin and Monica return late in season two, but both only last a few episodes before theyre killed off again.Pigsy spent years serving a demon princess, and is trying to wipe his hands clean by aiding Tripitaka.Sandy even comments that the situation is poetic.

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Monkey, in spades.Later in the episode when shes being chased by a demon, he helps her escape by bringing her into his monastery and disguising her as a monk. Androcles' Lion: In the first episode, Tripitaka gives her food to a starving monk.And the Adventure Continues: The first season ends with the four main characters talking about how their journey isnt over yet because theres still more scrolls to find.She did, after all, manage to convince Monkey and Pigsy (who were both initially not interested) to help her on the quest. Adaptational Species Change: Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy are Gods instead of demons, and look human.Tripitaka is a lot smarter than in the book and takes a more active role in the quest. Monkey is a lot more heroic than his book counterpart, Pigsy is a lot more selfless, and Sandy isnt a disgraced warrior seeking redemption. Adaptational Heroism: The main four all fall under this.While she does get captured a number of times in this version, its not nearly as often, and a few times she even manages to save herself. Adaptational Badass: In the book, Tripitaka was constantly getting captured left and right and had to rely on his companions to save him.Monkey in particular is very good looking. Helped by the fact that theyre Gods in this version instead of demons.
