Story
BoBoiBoy
Season 1
Ying is the bestfriend of Yaya. At her first appearance, Ying was shown as a shy and a cheerful person. After Ying was given the Power Band by Ochobot, she gained the power of Time Manipulation and with her power, Ying could run around the world in the blink of an eye without feeling tired. This also makes it difficult for the enemies to capture Ying.
Season 2
At Rintis Island Primary School, Ying was a strong rival to Yaya when it came time for the test, making them compete for the first position. However, they still respect each other and still maintain their close friendship.
BoBoiBoy: The Movie
In the Movie, when Ochobot was kidnapped by Bora Ra's team with the intention of using it to find Klamkabot, an ancient and powerful Power Sphere hiding in Earth. Ying helps her friends to save Ochobot and at the same time reveal the secret behind the mystery of the Power Spheres.
BoBoiBoy Galaxy
Three years have passed since the events that took place in the movie, Ying returned to Rintis Island with Yaya after traveling with their families. They were later appointed by Koko Ci to be the Lance Corporals in the TAPOPS team to help other members find and protect the Power Spheres scattered throughout the galaxy.
BoBoiBoy Movie 2
After Adu Du stole EggaBot from BoBoiBoy, Ying was successful in snatching it from him. Upon completing their mission, the team was granted permission to return to Earth. However, they soon received an urgent message from Koko Ci, who warned them of Retak'ka's reappearance and advised them to go to Planet Quabaq. The team swiftly responded to the emergency call and headed to Planet Quabaq to deal with this new threat.
Appearance
BoBoiBoy
Ying is a young girl with approximately shoulder-length black hair (dark blue in Galaxy season 2) tied in pigtails with yellow hair bands, light skin, and grayish blue (previously brown in Season 1) eyes. She sports a yellow and orange vest with a light blue and white horizontally striped shirt underneath. She wears a pair of dark blue jeans with yellow laces on the side that goes on until the bottom of her knees. She also wears a pair of blue glasses on her head, along with a yellow and light blue beanie with two pins of different designs on it. She also sports strap-on yellow, orange and white shoes. Her power band is in the shade of yellow and light blue and is located at her wrist.
BoBoiBoy Galaxy
Now older, Ying is much taller and more lithe compared to when she was younger. She retains her old hairstyle. Ying now wears yellow, presumably, overalls with light blue short sleeves that goes on until the bottom of her knees. She also wears her blue power bands on top of yellow, finger-less arm bands that goes up until her elbows. She also wears a dark gray and blue fanny pack around her waist. Ying also wears gray and blue knee pads and strap-on boots with yellow and blue straps, along with blue socks underneath it.
Personality
Ying is a young and enthusiastic girl with an optimistic outlook toward life. Her passionate nature instills her with the ability to manipulate time as a superpower. This hyper-energetic girl is always ready to lend a hand to those in need. She tends to talk rapidly and can be slightly impatient when it comes to getting things done swiftly.
Ying is a person who is considerate of other people's emotions and feelings, but can also be fairly shy, sometimes too shy to even talk to people face to face. Ying's self-doubt has a negative impact on her skillset and capabilities. For instance, her sneezing could cause her to lose her abilities.
As the storyline of Season 2 progresses, Ying undergoes significant changes in her personality, particularly in her level of confidence and extroversion. Despite her previous reticence, she becomes much more self-assured and willing to take risks. Conversely, Ying is quite short-tempered and may become impatient at times. Additionally, she holds those close to her in high regard and is afraid of losing them. In fact, she often prioritizes others over herself due to her innate kindness, although she may not display this trait to a large number of people.

Abilities
| “ | Ying: super-human speed! | ” |
| “ | This is Ying. Her power is Time Manipulation . . . Ying's power allows her to slow down time around her, making other objects move at a much slower speed. In reality, she runs at a normal speed; it is only to others that she is running at a high speed. | ” |
— Ejo Jo's computer clarifying her powers in Season 2, Episode 10 | ||
Ying is given her powers by Ochobot and believed that her power was Super-Human Speed, until it is revealed that she has the power of Time Manipulation. This allows her to slow the speed at which the objects around her move, giving the illusion of her having super-human speed when she is actually running at a normal pace. She can also slow down or speed up people and objects within her certain controllable radius.
The only drawback to her ability is that it consumes a large amount of power and she has a limit as to how long she can alter time, indicated on her watch. In the original series, her power used to be inhibited when she sneezed and/or lost her confidence, only by sneezing and/or getting through her nervousness again could she retrieve her power back, but some time between Season 1 and Season 2, she managed to overcome this weakness.
