It is through the love of her father that one can see how protective, resourceful, courageous and brave she is. Due to the choices that she has made, it becomes very obvious that she is far more independent than just about any other woman in China, which ties in quiet nicely with the fact that she is extremely adventurous and more than a little impulsive. Thankfully, thanks to everything she has gone through, she has grown out of her self-consciousness and is far more confident because of it.

While he jokes far more than one would expect him to, doing his best to make light of serious situations, he knows when it’s time to buckle down and be the support his charge needs. Doesn’t stop him from calling Khan a Cow though. [*]Cri-kee - The Lucky Cricket that one would think isn’t so lucky, he is the chirpy companion of Mulan and seemingly close buddies with Mushu, who is the only one who can understand the insect. [*]Khan - Mulan’s trusty steed who refuses to let anyone but her ride him and isn’t afraid to deliver a kick or sit on someone who is being a bit too mean to his owner. Of course, foul tempered as he may be, he is loyal to a fault.[/list] [B]Brief History:[/b] Fa Mulan, the only child of a great war hero and a humble mother, was everything her parents simply did not want her to be. In truth, what did they expect when she was allowed to learn such things as Marital Arts, Swordsmanship and Archery? Wanting to keep her injured father safe from harm and feeling that he had done his duty for China, Mulan disguised herself as a man and joined the Imperial Army in his stead, going by the name of Fa Ping. Of course, while her disguise is anything but foolproof, no one questioned the fact that, while unladylike, she certainly wasn’t very manly to begin with and explained it away as the Son the Fa family did not want to admit existed. In the end, Mulan brought far more Honor to the Fa family than anyone had expected, being the reason that China was saved from the Hun invasion. While she did end up ruining the Emperor's Castle through ideas that, while they worked, could have been avoided if she hadn’t actually thrown a shoe at the guy and just used the opportunity to rid the nation of the problem while he was distracted. Regardless of how she got her end result, she was later called upon to assure that the Emperor's three Daughters were delivered safely to the Kingdom of Qui Gong. Much like her first endeavours, this too was a success, even if it did not end the way that it was intended. While time has passed since her exploits, she is just as close as ever to her family, her escapades bringing her even closer to her father. She often spends time at the shrine speaking with Mushu about varying things, knowing that part of her success is owed to the Guardian that had been with her through everything, including her marriage to General Li Shang. Of course, Shang and her father aren’t the only men in her life, as she has remained in contact with Yao, Ling and Chien Po as they had been the first to accept the fact that her being a woman did not undermine all that she had done. They are dear friends to her, and she continues to do her best to remain in touch through letters as often as she can.
