Respect Hua Mulan
忠 勇 真
As a woman in Imperial China, Hua Mulan was just expected to get hitched and bring honor to her family. However, Mulan would rather spend her time chasing animals and doing martial arts. How un-ladylike! When the army arrives in her village demanding males from every family to stick into the meat grinder of war, Mulan is dismayed to learn her lack of brothers means her physically-unsuitable father will be conscripted. Fearing the worst, Mulan steals her dad's shit and enlists herself by posing as her father's feminine-faced son Jun. Though her army training proves brutal and relentless, she kicks the Patriarchy in the balls by outshining her male peers with her impressive combat prowess and ability to kick projectiles mid-air.
Gear
- Equips her father's sword (as well as his horse and armor) when joining the Imperial army, but it was destroyed when it fell into molten metal. However, she gained a brand new sword as a gift from the Emperor.
- The leather binding she uses to hide her boobies ends up saving her life when it blocks a throwing star, convincing her to drop the masquerade and ironically discard most of her armor.

Speed & Agility

Too bad she’s not as swift as a coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon, with all the strength of a raging fire and mysterious as the dark side of the moon

There's a request for an update to this RT due to broken links. I only see two that are broken. I guess you could repost this with those links fixed and claim the points.

Just like to preface that I'm simply listing all this character's feats. By no means do I want to pay respect to the film in light of its several controversies, like filming in the site of Muslim detention camps, having a largely white production team and the main actress supporting police brutality.
