Have you essayed about Mulan re: all these female warriors already?

If you haven't, that's what I'm interested in.

I haven't! Also, I'm exhausted because I drove forever. But I shall try!

I think mostly she's in awe. She just would never think of a society where women can do what they like, even though she's knowingly going against it in her own life. I think mostly with Mulan, it's not that she's dressing as a boy to be contrary, or to prove a point, she just thinks she needs to do it to help her family, so the idea that other women would be warriors voluntarily is a completely new concept. If she were a less selfless person, she'd probably be jealous, and she might be a little, but I think Mulan doesn't have enough of a sense of self to actually be jealous like that. She has a job and it needs doing and she knew it was never going to be easy, so being jealous wouldn't help anything.

Um, so basically she's in awe, and she admires them, and she's just really curious about their worlds. But she's not super jealous and I don't think it would occur to her that it could happen in her world.

(I really hope this makes sense o/)

I'm doing two because I'm super special. Answer just one if you want or answer both or whatever, I'm easy.

1. Standard relationship thing re: Ty Lee!
2. If Ty Lee and Azula DID have to do a custody battle over Mulan (which will never happen thank god), who would Mulan opt to go with?

You are special! But the standard "lol 23 hour car ride" thing applies ( ... )

How do you imagine it going down if Mulan actually genderswitched? Genderswitched if at the time we had a Shang in camp?

Hahaha. I have thought about this. I have a whole thing set up in my head, and if it goes down like this, awesome, and if not that's cool too! But in my fantasyland ( ... )
