Grandma Wu

Grandma Wu is a supporting character in Pixar's 25th full-length animated feature film Turning Red. 
She is Chen and Ping's sister, Ming Lee's mother, Helen and Lily's aunt, Jin's mother-in-law, Mei Lee's grandmother, and Vivian's great-aunt.
She was voiced by Wai Ching Ho.
==Personality==
She is a very disciplinary but protective parent, forging her daughter Ming's strict attitude when she in turn becomes an adult. In the past, she took very extreme measures to educate her daughter and even refused to allow her to be with Jin, whom she despised. This led to an argument between Wu and Ming who transformed into a giant panda in anger and hurt her mother, leaving a scar on her upper face. Years later, Wu was just as protective of Mei and wanted to prevent her from letting her red panda run wild like with Ming. However, Wu learned from her mistakes and accepted Mei's choices and the fact that she wanted to keep her panda.
==History==
Grandma Wu first appears when she calls Ming, who is terrified to talk to her. She says that Ming is apparently having a hard time dealing with Mei over her panda's control and decides to visit her.
Later in the film, Grandma Wu arrives at the Lee Family Temple with her two sisters Chen and Ping and nieces Helen and Lily and pampers Mei before the ritual. Before Mei sneaks out to go to Tyler's party, Wu gives her a warning that she can't keep transforming too often or she would be bond to it forever and the ritual will fail. Mei asks if that has ever happened, to which Wu tells her that it can't happen and tells her that there was a time when she and Ming was close, until the red panda changed it all. Prior to the ritual in question, Jin tells Mei that Wu disapproved him, leading to a heated argument between her and Ming, which causes Ming to give Wu her scar. Right after, Mei refuses to part with her panda and runs off to go to the concert. Wu and the aunts pushes Ming too far by blaming her for Mei's decision in keeping the panda, which angers Ming, who transforms into her gigantic red panda (after her tailsman accidentally shatters on the floor when trying to stop Mei), scaring Wu and the others in the process. Panicked, Wu and the rest of the family go to the concert to stop Ming from destroying everything around her. As Mei distracts Ming, Jin draws a giant circle before singing along with Wu and her family.
When Mei accidentally knocks Ming out of the circle, Wu decides to break her bracelet and let her panda out to help her granddaughter save Ming. Then, thanks to their singing and that of 4*Town, the circle activates and sends Mei, Ming, Wu, Chen, Ping, Helen, and Lily into the celestial plane. There, they were waiting for Mei and Ming to meet up with them. Wu hugs Ming and reconciles with her. Ming tearfully apologizes to Wu, but she tells her there's no need to apologize because she's her mother. After that, everyone returns to the real world by separating from the panda except Mei, who decides to keep it.
At the end of the film, we see Wu who has returned to Florida and now keeps her panda in a 4*Town necklace. Wu can be seen one last time in a photograph at the temple with her family, Mei's friends, and 4*Town.
