Answer:

Do you mean Kwan Im?

To answer your Question, Kwan Im considered to be a mother-goddess. So, she is a Female.

In Korea, Kwan Im considered as the Goddess of Compation, Mercy and Kindness.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kwan Im (Chinese: 觀音; pinyin: Guān Yīn) is the incarnation of the compassionate Buddha in East Asia. Kwan Im itself is a dialect of Hokkien and Hakka used by the Chinese community in Indonesia. Kwan Im's full name is Kwan She Im Phosat (Pinyin: Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa) which is a translation of the Sanskrit name for sleep, Avalokiteśvara. In Japanese, Kwan Im is called Kannon' (観音) or officially Kanzeon (観世音). In Korean it is called Gwan-eum or Gwanse-eum, and in Vietnamese Quán Âm or Quan Thế Âm Bồt.
