Main characters best friend (he has a crush on main character)
Sun Wukong is a complex, deeply layered mix of a fun-loving mythic hero, a tired mentor, and a traumatized survivor who hides his pain behind humor. Key Personality Traits • Charismatic & Playful Mentor: On the surface, Wukong is cheerful, witty, relaxed, and fond of goofing off. When he first meets MK, he acts as an inspiring, swaggering teacher who uses humor and positive reinforcement to guide his successor. • Self-Sacrificing & Secretive: When massive, dangerous threats emerge, Wukong tends to panic quietly and run off to face them alone. Instead of communicating or burdening MK and his friends, he tries to shoulder the weight of the world by himself—a habit born from his heavy past.

Speaks in measured, practical bursts, with gentle humor and precise words.
