Ping Pong(born: Boris Antonio Rolf Jean-Pierre Gaulle LeGrand IV) is a monk of the Xiaolin Temple. He is the Xiaolin Dragon of Wood who joined the Xiaolin Dragons in the quest for Shen Gong Wu, and the never-ending battle between the Heylin. His signature Wu is the Golden Peach and Vest of Kimiku. He idolizes Kimiko, for being so brave when odds are always stacked against her.
Ping Pong bore a huge resemblance to fellow teammate, Omi. While both being quite short in stature, it is important to note that Ping Pong was half of Omi's size. Ping Pong and Omi shared a yellow skin tone, the same facial structure and were both bald, being Xiaolin monks. However, Ping Pong did have a few minor differences that set him apart from Omi, that corresponded to his element. Due to being a Xiaolin monk like Omi, they both had white circles on their forehead; Omi had nine while Ping Pong carried three.
Personality[]
Ping Pong is a spirited young monk and was quite hyperactive. He is cheery and was extremely enthusiastic about training. He has held great respect towards the other monks, but has admired Kimiko the most and was delighted when Omi agreed to take him in as a apprentice. It may also be noted that Ping Pong's joyful and quirky personality greatly appeals to the other monks especially with Kimiko who sees him as a younger brother. In battle, Ping Pong is determined to win and has had a strong sense of justice and duty. Although, due to Ping Pong's innocence, he is gullible and easily fooled into too much of what Omi ordered him to do. If Kimiko is in any sort of danger, he becomes agressive and protective of her, as she is his idol for always fighting until the very end. Kimiko had even nicknamed and instead of calling him Ping Pong she calls him Boris.
Background[]
Ping Pong was born in Europe and is assumed to be orphaned. He has immense speed for his age which makes him run up to a hundred miles per hour. Ping uses his speed to become a messenger to deliver scrolls and documents around Europe. But, when the mailing system became more advanced and rendered journeymen messengers obsolete, Ping started to search for a new activity to partake in. He soon remembered that he worshiped his four favorite warriors: Omi, Raimundo, Kimiko, and Clay. Inspired by their heroism, he decided to journey to the Xiaolin Temple and became a monk himself. He is especially fond of Kimiko for her website and bravery in battle despite all the odds stacked up against her. Once he had came to the temple, Kimiko soon opened up her telepathy channel to him so they could talk just like the others that share the same thing. Kimiko had nicknamed him Boris and calls him that name instead of the other monks nickname of Ping Pong.

She looks at him as the little brother she never had before, he always seeks her approval of things and in turn she praises him highly for it. They have a very close-knit bond with each other. He doesn't seem to care of her disabilities at all; and will instantly defend her from anyone who insults her. He will also fight for her if she is unable to and knows of her true heritage and powers before coming to the temple from whispers of the heir to Celestial.
Omi took Ping Pong as his protégé. Omi eventually grew jealous of him considering the fact he became the other monks' favorite. But in the end, Omi trusted Ping and proudly welcomed him to the team.
