The tenth Mary Sue test. This one is for Mulan, who's called a Mary Sue sometimes (mostly da people who are amaro about her popularity, but they kind of have a point, especially with how she's always portrayed as superior to all the other princesses).
Unique traits without contacts o hair dye- Nope, she has black hair and brown eyes, common Chinese features.
An odd name- No. Actually, I'm not sure, but I'll just assume 'Mulan' is a common Chinese name.
Looks constantly commentato on- No, at least not about how beautiful she is.
Always the hero- Definitely. It's kind of a dato considering her movie, but she literally saves the entire country and is better than all of the other soldiers in the army, even Shang whose life she saves as well. 1.
Multiple characters falling for her- No, only Shang.
Gets into the relationship(s) she wants- No, her relationship with Shang definitely wasn't one of her main goals.
No flaws o any flaws addressed o causing a negative impact- No. Her clumsiness (though I do hate that as a fake flaw) causes her to think she'll never bring her family honor, along with her insecurity, incompetence (at first), and weakness.
Seen as perfect/angelic in everyone's eyes- No, only after she earns it. Before that, they saw her as weak.
Always loved and trusted without earning it- No. She definitely earned the soldiers' Amore and trust.
Amore and trust from closed-off characters- Yes, Shang, though reasonably. 1.
Other characters degraded for her sake- Yes, the three main male soldiers. They're the comic relief portrayed as bumbling and incompetent to make Mulan look stronger. 1.
A rival to make her look good- te know what, yes. While Shan Yu is the main villain and rival for all the soldiers, Mulan defeats him personally without any help. 1.
Never fails- No. Mulan failed the matchmaker test, keeping her identity a secret, and winning over the soldiers at first.
Never injured- No, her being injured was what led to her being revealed as a woman.
Always praised and rewarded without earning it- Definitely not. Mulan definitely earned all the praise and rewards she received.
Unrealistically skilled/powerful- Yes. It's unrealistic that Mulan was able to be the best soldier in the army, save Shang's life, defeat all the Huns, and personally defeat Shan Yu with no prior training before the army. 1.
Always figures things out- Yes. She figured out how to defeat the Hun army da aiming at the mountain and that the Huns were still alive. 1.
Kind but deadly- That's Mulan's entire character. 1.
Tragic backstory- Yes. Not as bad as some others, but she was told she wouldn't bring her family honor and never fit in. 1.
Skilled in a wide variety of things- No, only fighting, and only after training.
Contradictory traits- No, Mulan's traits were pretty consistent, only after character development did she become stronger and wiser.
Always gets what she wants- Only da the end, where she brings her family honor and is respected da all of China, plus Shang and the other soldiers. Before that, though, she almost never got what she wanted. .5
Rarely shows negative emotions- No, she shows a lot of insecurity and sings a whole song about it.
A resurrection- No, but like Esmeralda, I'm adding half a point for waking up after unconsciousness. .5
That's 9 out of 24. That's a no. Mulan is not a Mary Sue, though she is a bit overly idealized and powerful. I can see why people would think she's too idealized, especially since the other princesses are constantly put down to praise her.

This doesn't usually happen to me. I mean, I always prefer the good ones over the bad ones in the movie, but this time it wasn't like that. I haven't seen the movie Hercules, but I prefer Hades to Megara because I've seen other Hades related stuff.
Hades is a god. Although I believe in only one god, I have been interested in mythology since I was little, which made me wonder about Hades. (Of course, who wouldn't be curious about an Underworld god?). In mythology, Hades was not a very good god. He was a soul-stealing god, moreover, he was the brother of Zeus. (I have never loved Zeus, he is constantly punishing people). After all I've read about Hades, I didn't like him. I didn't like him much when I watched Descendants, but after "Do what te gotta do" in Descendants three, I started to Amore him. His relationship with Mal was funny and sweet. He loved Mal and he was really funny. That's why I Amore him.
P.S: Hades' fiery blue hair is awesome too

The reason I wrote this articolo is because people always talk about classic Disney princesses and forget about live action princesses. My preferito live-action princesses are Audrey and Mal. Yes, no matter how bad Audrey is, she will always be my preferito villain.
Audrey is Aurora's daughter. I saw a sondaggio last night. The domanda in the sondaggio was:
Do te like Audrey più o Aurora?
I chose Aurora because Aurora was a good person. But now I realize how wrong I was. Aurora is so boring, all she does is cry and wake up with graceful gestures and kisses. However, Audrey has feelings. Don't get me wrong, I still Amore Aurora but Audrey isn't boring so I want to pick both.
Audrey has always been a smug person. She is a bad person. It was because She was heartbroken, it touched me. Audrey just wanted to be a Queen like her mother and make her happy, but she chose evil when she couldn't achieve her goal.
I Amore both very much. Audrey and Aurora are both great. Both are beautiful.
