Nu Gui is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Baba Yaga) of the 2017 Mexican cartoon Las Leyendas. She is the daughter of the first Emperor of China. She discovered a magic flower whose essence granted her immortality, but also drove her mad. She then poisoned her father and went on to become a powerful witch.
She mocks Baba Yaga for being Quetzalcoatl's servant and attempts to sacrifice Marcella for her own benefit, only to end up a servant herself in the final episode and forced to rely on Marcella to save her.
She is voiced by Sofía Niño de Rivera in the hispanic language, and Paula Barros in english dub.
Personality[]
Nu Gui seemed to love her father before she lost her sanity to the Immortal Steam, as she searched high and low for the secret of immortality for her father. However, after he madness, she cared not a thing for her father and poisoned him with the steam.
Despite being an evil witch, and part of Baba Yaga's coven, Nu Gui has been portrayed more sympathetically than her "sister", being focused on her "noble goal" which happens to be freeing her fellow witches from Quetzalcoatl's clutches, and not much else. In the Season 1 finale, Nu Gui, forced to aid Quetzalcoatl in Baba Yaga's place, gives Leo the Celestial Point (which fell off of him without him noticing and temporarily wound up in the hands of an elite Horroroso) and begs him to fulfill his part of the prophecy and free her kind.
Appearance[]
In her former form she used to look like a young woman from the imperial dynasty, having long straight black hair, whitish skin, more human features and possibly black and white attire.
She, after several centuries of aging, it appears a gaunt and wrinkled humanoid. She is shown as a woman with long gray hair and a large round bun on her head, gray and warty skin, hands with sharp claws, pointed ears, dark eyelids in her eyes and nerdy corneas with green irirses. She wears a maroon hanfu as a dress combined with light coral garments and tan stripes.
Biography[]
The Princess sending herself with the flower and thirsting for power.
According to her origin, her father; The Emperor Of China, desired immortality and was initially proud that her daughter found it (in the form of a flower emitting a special steam, from which she made a potion), seeing it as "The greatest gift a father could have". What Nu Gui didn't tell her father however was that the flower's immortality was a gift only for the first person who discovered it. For everyone else (like the Emperor for prime example), there was only madness and death. Ambitious even at a young age, Nu Gui killed her father.
After the death of his father, Nu Gui would hide in a cavern that was below the "great wall" where he would learn the arts of witchcraft. Years later she would meet Baba Yaga, since being a witch like her, she would share all her teachings about archaic magic and would train her learning to develop her abilities as a witch. Becoming fraternal friends and forming covens within the cavern they would plan to awaken all the Terracotta Warriors, using them to culminate the humans and for the witches to take control of all known society, requesting the help of a third witch.
Nu Gui and Baba Yaga would travel to Mexico and meet Elena, a sorceress with whom they befriended and later explained their plans for revenge against humanity, so they were unsuccessful in converting her and ended up rendering her invalid after an impartial confrontation.
In Episode 9 Nu Gui makes a flat-faced attempt to convince Marcella that she's not about to become the sacrifice needed to awaken the Terracotta Army and she's not buying it. As mentioned above, Episode ends with Baba Yaga's hand bursting out of the rubble following her fight with Nu Gui.
In the last episode, it is revealed that Nu Gui survived the collapse of his lair and bonded with Quetzalcoatl after Baba Yaga left him, wearing the same bracelet on her wrist that would force her to obey. Collaborating with "the serpent god", Nu Gui leads the troops of Horrorosos to confront the Team Legend who were hiding La Esfera within the church. Surrounding the church, Nu Gui commanded Horrorosos to knock down the door and go through La Esfera, but Leo, Marcela and Godofredo are saved by falling from the bell tower to the flying ship. Minutes after Quetzalcoatl caused the ship to crash to the ground, Nu Gui would surrender when Leo and his friends would come to her to dispense retributive justice, explaining that he did all this against their will and gifted them the celestial point as show of regret. Quetzalcoatl brushes her off her pretty quick after she tries to help the protagonists and instantly incinerates her with his Eye Beams.
