Wuya is a wicked 1500-year-old Heylin witch who was born in 503 AD. The fabled Grand Master Dashi defeated her in the first Xiaolin Showdown, trapping her inside a wooden puzzle box. But Jack Spicer freed her centuries later. In order to obtain Shen Gong Wu and retake the world, she is typically seen collaborating with a partner, most frequently Jack Spicer. She has the ability to sense Shen Gong Wu, but she needed Jack Spicer, a living person, to gather them for her as a ghost. Later, with Chase Young's assistance, she returned to life, albeit helplessly.
