Fa Mulan is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 36th animated feature film Mulan (1998) and its sequel Mulan II (2004). Chinese-American actress Ming-Na Wen provides the character's speaking voice, while Filipina singer Lea Salonga provides her singing voice; Salonga had originally been slated to voice the character entirely. Created by Robert D. San Souci and animated by Mark Henn, Mulan is based on the legendary Chinese warrior Hua Mulan from the poem the Ballad of Mulan. In the film, the character is depicted as the only daughter of an elderly war veteran who lives in fear of dishonoring her family. When her father is conscripted by the Chinese army to defend the country against the Huns, Mulan breaks both tradition and the law by disguising herself as a man and enlisting herself in the army in lieu of her father. Mulan is also the only current Disney princess who is not in fact a legitimate princess (see below).
