Some parts of Tiana would remind Mulan of her father's perspective, which I think she respects.

Belle and Merida have very little in common with Mulan. Belle is close to her dad, just like Mulan, but that is it. Belle tends to be haughty, and Mulan is very humble.

Mulan respects both her mother and her father. Merida only respects her dad in the beginning, and very gradually learns to respect her mom ( after all the Brave nonsense). Besides weaponry, Mulan would find it hard to relate to Merida, who isn't interested in growing up or in romance.

I don't think Mulan would hate either of them, but she would probably stay away from them.

I don't think Mulan would dislike Belle; they have something in common. They both are treated like outcasts and different from most of people throughout their society. Mulan would respect Belle's choice to sacrifice her freedom for her father, her decision is similar like hers.

Mulan wouldn't really get along with stubborn, strong-headed ones like Ariel, Jasmine, and Merida. She's the typical of respectful and loyal person especially towards her family, and she's selfless enough to sacrifice herself for others. Those three instead are taking their own wishes and goals as their priority over their family and friends.

@Sparklefairy: I find Ariel to be an outcast in her father's kingdom. But I don't think being an outcast is the only thing that matters for someone to get along with someone else.

For example, I have Ariel's personality, and you have Belle's. You and I do not get along well at all.

Mulan's temperament is chill--- like the users Disnerdtobe and Magicworld_88 who made this poll. They aren't as judgmental and they don't seem to paint Ariel's personality as being only selfish all of the time. ( Am I only selfish all of the time? I do have Ariel's personality, btw). You often pass judgment on me, so I liken you to Belle quite a lot.

Being an outcast doesn't mean you will automatically get along with someone who is also an outcast.

Same as Sparklefairy said Belle and Mulan have some things in common.

After Mulan impulsively becomes a soldier, there isn't anything she has in common with Belle anymore.... So I don't see where they share much of anything, except closeness to their dads. That all.

Here's Belle's favorites list as written by PrincessLullaby: link.

I happen to think that the points PL raises here are rather true, and Belle would not be very close friends with Mulan.

@wavesurf Sorry but you missed the point here. I don't even said that Belle would be Mulan's very close friend. I only said that she's not the one that Mulan would like the least. Maybe they wouldn't be that close either, but I just found that there are a few princesses that Mulan would get along for the least, even more than Belle.

Sure, have something in common isn't the only things that makes you can get along with someone or not. But in most of the case, when anyone can get along with certain people, mostly happened because they had something in common (like personality, background, favorite stuffs, interest, etc).
And most people that get along for the least with certain people, are quite opposite with each other and have nothing in common at all. You even state the example about you and I wouldn't get along at all.

That's why, from my view, Mulan and Belle have something in common at least one, that wouldn't make Belle as the one that Mulan would like for the least. I think Mulan have almost nothing in common with those three princesses that I mentioned above and I already explain the reason why.

(Also the article made by princesslullaby's one isn't state that Mulan's the one that would get along for the least with Belle, just somewhere in the middle)

Mulan definetely wouldn't hate any of DPs. I always thought she is very tolerant of other flaws and is actually the opposite of petty( she befriended Yao and Ling, two very flawed guys with prominent mean tendencies).
I think she would be the least comfortable with Merida giving Elinor a cake. Mulan is very family-oriented and compassionate person and although she is closer with her dad, she deeply respects her mom and grandma.
And I really disagree with princesslullaby's interpretation of Belle.
And I see the similiatry between Belle and Beast and Mulan and two bullies.

@Sparklefairy: So why would Mulan like Ariel the least out of all of the princesses? Mulan is just as stubborn as Ariel is. Is it because Ariel didn't get along with her dad the same way that Mulan did with hers? Does that make ALL the difference? Because Ariel is very sacrificial ( shown at least three times doing more active sacrificial things than Rapunzel, Belle, Tiana, Jasmine, Pocahontas, etc. do), and I don't see where Mulan would not like Ariel attempting to save everybody else from mishaps, since Mulan did the same thing, and Mulan had her share of miscalculations and mishaps towards her goals, same as with Ariel.

I don't see how Mulan would like Ariel the least. That is really way off. In fact, I see the exact opposite. Both are young, impulsive, and klutzy. Mulan and Ariel would be hanging out together a lot.

What sparkle said. Or Ariel.

I can see her respecting Belle though- Belle is close to her dad and is a little more confident in her outcast status.

^strange that you would not implicate Aurora here even though she's the obvious choice.

Adelital makes a good point. Mulan seems to get a long with a group consisting of varying personalities.
She'd probably be fine with most of them. I guess my thoughts were that Merida is very adventurous/daredevil by nature, whereas Mulan is more laid back. But then again, maybe they could influence each other in good
ways. Hmmm.

Brandy- not at all, unlike making a fake account 'cause you're too frightened to use your real one lol. Whose values conflict with Mulan's more, the one who went along with an arranged marriage or fought it, who's close to her family or fights them?

You disliking Aurora doesn't mean Mulan would =) as someone else said she's very easygoing and sweet.

^^ I am so pleased to read it! Yes, I believe that Mulan is easygoing, magnanimous, tolerant and acceptive.
However, I find it kinda likely that Mulan would think of Merida lower than she does of Yao and Ling. Yao and Ling were mean to the person they barely knew which is not same with being mean to your family member( especially to Mulan, given how family-oriented she is, these acts would be far from equally acceptable).
Yeah, I think Merida would be her least favorite and I find very it likely that Mulan find her less likeable than Yao and Ling at the beginning. But of course she wouldn't hate her. I guess it's very difficult to make Mulan hate you.

@wavesurf: Idk if you said this only because you want two of your favorites to gets along very well but I don't see how she would get along with her much.
In what way Mulan is a stubborn? When she escape from home to save her dad, after her dad forbid her to go? That's not reflect any stubborness but sacrifical things instead.

Also, Ariel's a sacrifical person? Did we watch the same movie?
She save Flounder at the very beginning from shark but it happens as she create troubles when trying to find out human stuffs at the sunken ship. She save Eric but that's more likely because he's a strange but handsome dude then she fell in love with him. She sacrifice voice for legs but she did that for her own benefits. She never sacrifice anything for other's goodness.
Mulan instead, saving a lot of people in her country from Huns. Mulan's goals is to bring the honor for her family and not for her own. Ariel's goals is to became human and marries an attractive guy for her own.

So I don't see in what way they're similar and how they can get along very well. Mulan wouldn't hate her at least but she probably won't be very close with her.

mulan can be pretty outspoken and stubborn (e.g. that outburst at her dad; she got kicked out of the army twice and she still pushed on), and remember her reasons for taking her dad's place weren't totally selfless either. so i don't think it's too out there for her to like/understand ariel and merida.

tiana, though...i don't know that mulan would dislike her, but i could see her just not being able to understand how naturally disciplined and ambitious she is. tiana and shang would definitely hit it off.

@AudreyFreak - I never said that I dislike Aurora. You automatically assuming that exposes your bias. Mulan grew up in a patriarchal society so she would firstly be loyal to her emperor and her father. This is why no female figure factors greatly into her life because her main relationships are her father, Mushu, Khan, Shang, Yao, Ling, and Chien Po, all males. Aurora is loyal to three female figures which is not part of filial piety in Chinese society since the paternal figure factors more. Merida defies the female figure and is closer to her father so that would be more loyal and traditional to Mulan. You lack a simple understanding of the culture.

"Mulan grew up in a patriarchal society so she would firstly be loyal to her emperor and her father. This is why no female figure factors greatly into her life"

If Disney actually cared about filial piety they wouldn't have felt the need to throw in that bit about Mulan needing to do this for her own reasons. Even if it is an ancient story, it's still mostly told through a modern filter. Mulan doesn't have a solid relationship with her mother because uninvolved moms are just part of Disney storytelling.

^Agreed. This is why Chinese audiences felt that Mulan was not relatable because the character was too westernized and individualistic for their taste which defies contemporary Chinese society, and especially ancient Chinese society. The scene you mentioned was particularly egregious.

Not really, because you're the one using a sock account (which if you're right, you shouldn't need to hide behind) to bait/single me out in a snide comment, ignoring the fact that nobody here but you voted for the "obvious" choice of Aurora.

Also, nobody but you brought up Chinese culture (?) and for some reason you're lecturing about Mulan being loyal to her family which literally no one contested, which kinda just supports my point that she wouldn't care for Merida hurting Elinor. You didn't read anything I said or prove anyone wrong, you just fished for an excuse to start drama and jump into this weird Mulan rant nobody asked for.

If you think I am somebody else, then who am I? I have no idea who you think I am, but my name is Carla and you know perfectly well who I am so don't pretend otherwise that I am masquerading as someone else. I'm my own girl 24/7 and I ain't ashamed of it.

I made my feelings very clear but I will repeat myself. In Chinese culture, loyalty goes first to the emperor who is viewed as a god and then to the father. Merida never defies her father, she only defies her mother. Women are not as important in Chinese society so Aurora not defying her aunts will mean nothing to Mulan. Likewise, Merida defying her mother will be looked upon as better because she is more closely aligning with her father.

Hmm, I agree with Adelital. I can see Mulan getting along well with all the princesses. I'm going with Ariel for now, simply because of her relationship with her father, but I think it could just as easily be Merida. I think Mulan's opinion of Merida would depend a lot on the circumstances under which they would meet. I see the potential for great friendship between them, but also the potential for Mulan being horrified by and unable to see past the cake fiasco.

Okay, Eryn. I don't think people who aren't ashamed of themselves tend to make 5 thousand socks to hide behind to attack people over cartoon princesses though.

Stay pressed Aurora is "stealing" your self-insert's thunder and people don't see Belle as a flawless angel anymore.
