In Kung Fu Panda 2, what is the name of the fortune-telling character who helps Po?

The story behind the answer

In Kung Fu Panda 2, the fortune-telling character who helps Po is called the Soothsayer.

The Soothsayer is an elderly goat living in Gongmen City. She serves Lord Shen, but she also remembers the prophecy that a warrior of black and white will defeat him. Her visions help explain why Shen feared pandas and ordered the destruction of the panda villages.

When Po confronts her, the Soothsayer uses her knowledge to help him understand his past. She also teaches him that inner peace can be found by accepting painful memories rather than being controlled by them.

The character is voiced in English by Michelle Yeoh. Her role is important because she connects Shen’s childhood prophecy, the panda massacre, and Po’s personal journey. The name “Soothsayer” is a title rather than a personal name.
