Reference Information

Fa Mulan is the titular protagonist of Disney's 1998 animated feature film Mulan. She is the strong-willed and tenacious daughter of a war veteran, who strives to uphold her family's honor. When her father is called back into battle to defend China from Shan Yu, Mulan opts to protect him by taking his place under the disguise of a male soldier named Ping. Mulan is inspired by the legendary Hua Mulan. She is the eighth official Disney Princess, the only one not to be of royal lineage either by birth or marriage. She is the last Disney Princess to be developed during the Disney Renaissance and also the 20th century.

Background

Ping resides in a small Chinese village with his father, his mother, and his wisecracking grandmother (after whom Ping takes). He also has a dog named Little Brother. As the standard of the period, Ping is urged to uphold his family honor by adhering to the status quo set for men of the time. However, he is presented as an outcast. He is clumsy and seeks to finish his household chores by inventing contraptions to do the work in his place (much to the chagrin of his mother). As a member of the Fa family, Ping is under the protection of the Fa Family ancestors and the family guardians (which are represented by animals of the Chinese zodiac). When Ping was discharged from the army, his father died due to the injuries sustained in battle, leaving his family in financial strife.

Personality

Ping is introduced as a free-spirited outcast. He is a clumsy boy who cannot follow rules, regulations, or traditions. Despite this, he has a warm heart and wants nothing more than to uphold his family's honor while keeping true to himself. Because of his society, however, this is difficult to accomplish and often brings chaos and embarrassment into his life. The driving force of Ping's journey is the love he has for his mother. When his mother is forced to join the matchmakers test, Ping steals her outfit and reports to the building in her place to protect her as well as to satisfy his desire to prove his own self-worth. He was seen having difficulties with self-confidence due to society's mistreatment towards him and the pressures of the society into which he was born - particularly in the lives of men. Early in the film, whenever he went against sexism and injustice or simply handled a situation in his own, unique way (such as shouting "Present!" when the matchmaker called his name), Ping was greeted with anger or some form of annoyance from those around him, thus furthering his socially-awkward attitude.

Appearance

Ping is a young Chinese man. He is a natural beauty, with a slender figure, dark brown eyes, pink lips, wide nose, rosy cheeks, and straight, black hair that used to be long and waist-length. Later in the film, when he leaves to join the matchmaker in disguise, he cuts his hair with his father's sword into shoulder-length and ties it up in a bun. This helps him blend in so that the other women don't know that he's really a man. Ping wore a range of outfits, from a beautiful shenyis, to his soldier's getup, though his most notable outfits come from the original film; in which his promotional outfit comes from, which is a simple shenyi, which consisted of either a creamy green-yellow robe, with blue overshirt, which has green sleeves and a red band around his waist. He also sports a Kung fu-styled soldier's outfit, as well as his pink matchmaker's Hanfu and his father's armor. He always wore his black flats with his Hanfus. Except when he goes to the matchmaker, Ping does not wear any makeup or anything to beautify his appearance. Ping is naturally beautiful nonetheless.

Apperance

He wears a light blue tank top, short blue shorts, and is barefoot when he sleeps. He wears a shenyi consisting of a green long-sleeved shirt with olive brims and both a yellow skirt and inside shirt with a low-cut neckline, blue wrap, red waistband, and black ballet flats with gray soles, but also has been seen barefoot as well. He briefly wore his hair in a ponytail tied in a knot. When he arrived in the town, his hair is loose, and he had bits of hay stuck in his hair. To impress the matchmaker, he had his face painted in white, red lipstick, pink cheeks, purple eyeliner, thin black eyebrows, hair tied in a loose bun with a red hair ribbon with hair strands hanging between his eyes, and he wears a narrow crimson and pale pink Chinese Hanfu, a pink jacket with long, flowing sleeves, an aqua and plum collar, a blue wrap with a red ribbon to fasten it, a light purple scarf, same color shoes, a jade bead necklace, gold dangling earrings, and a special lotus flower hair pick. When he returns home from his failed mission, he wears his same armor. During Reflection, he removes his heavy armor, wipes away his soot, and lets his hair down when he removed his hair ribbon. His mother later folds back one side of his hair and places the lotus hair pick back in his hair to cheer him up. While serving his family tea, he wore his hair in a ponytail tied with a red hair tie. When he was sitting on the Great Stone Dragon statue, he was still wearing his underarmor, and his hair is wet and messy with long loose strands hanging in front of his face. When she was disguised as "Mulan", he has his hair tied in a bun with a teal ribbon to look like a woman.

Abilities

Although Ping possesses no magical or superhuman powers, she has military training courtesy of Shang. Martial Arts: As part of his training, Ping learned kung fu, eventually becoming proficient in hand-to-hand fighting. Swordsmanship: Ping honed his skill with his father's sword and became an expert swordswoman, easily holding his own against even the battle-hardened Shan Yu. Marksmanship: Under Shang's tutelage, Ping developed skill with ranged weaponry, from the bows and arrows to gunpowder cannons. Horseback riding: Even before his time in the army, Ping is an excellent equestrian, further enhanced by his bond with loyal steed Khan. Strategist: Ping is also intelligent, cunning, and resourceful, as shown on several occasions, such as when he was first to climb the pole and retrieve an arrow embedded in the top successfully during training. Knowing his unit was vastly outnumbered, he was able to quickly think of using the last cannon to cause an avalanche on the entire Hun army, quite literally stopping them cold, and later lure Shan Yu into Mushu's firing range. When he pulled out his fan, he acted as though he was in shock from having nothing left to fight with, when all along he planned to disarm him with it.

Story

Ping is seen rehearsing his moves for the hun battle (he has noted the strategy on his arm). Despite running late, Ping makes it to the battle, but his time there ends in humiliating defeat, and he is discharged. Shortly after, the Emperor's counselor, Chi-Fu, arrives in his village to announce that the deadly Huns, led by Shan Yu, have invaded China after breaching the Great Wall, and that one man in every family must serve in the war, being conscripted into the Imperial Army to reinforce the Emperor's troops and defend the Imperial City and other communities from the Huns. Despite his protests, his father agrees to go despite his old age and disabilities. When he tries to argue with him that night for putting his life on the line for honor, Fa Zhou reprimands him and hurts his feelings, causing him to run out and weep on the Stone Dragon statue in the middle of a storm. His father is later reported, months later, to have died in battle. Heartbroken, and knowing her family will suffer without him, Ping's mother enlists in the Matchmaker's program. Knowing that his mother would be too old, and likely fail or be married to an awful man, Ping disguises himself and goes in her place, despite not having a stable plan.
