Mulan

Chinese girl, Fa Mulan

Fa Mulan is a fictional character, inspired by Hua Mulan, who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 36th animated film Mulan (1998). Her speaking voice is provided by actress Ming-Na Wen, while actress and singer Lea Salonga provides the character's singing voice. Both her speaking and singing voice in Chinese are provided by singer CoCo Lee. Created by author Robert D. San Souci, Mulan is based on the legendary Xianbei Chinese warrior Hua Mulan from the poem the Ballad of Mulan. Her name "Fa Mulan" is inspired by the Yue Chinese name for the character, which is pronounced Fa Muklan. The only child of an aging war veteran, Mulan disregards both tradition and the law by disguising herself as a man in order to enlist herself in the army in lieu of her feeble father.
