A long overdue Mulan sketch. Been busy with assignments and I had art block 😭
I haven’t actually watched Mulan so i’m mostly just going with what I’m assuming
Name: Fa Mulan
Age: 16
School: Royal Sword Academy
Homeland: Country of the Red Dragon
Best Subject: P.E
Club: Fencing
Height: 176cm
Hobbies: Fencing, basketball, horse riding
A 2nd year at RSA and in the sleeping beauty dorm
He's from a small village in the country of the red dragon
His sword is a family sword passed down from generation to generation
His grandmother was the one who taught him all about sword fighting and he's been obsessed ever since
From dawn to dusk all he did was practice sword fighting to the point his parents got worried he'd scare away girls and never settle down
Isn't really a flirt but being honest and gentlemanly paired with his boy next door looks have girls swarming without him trying
He's the heartthrob of the village without trying which pisses his friend off to no end
His parents have tried to set him up with nice girls from his village but maybe it's spite preventing him from actually trying so the relationship fails
It's not that he doesn't want a girlfriend it's just he just wants one on his terms and he doesn't want anything to get in the way of his swordsmanship at the moment
His parents are worried he'll be single for the rest of his life even though he's 16
His grandma is all for his single bachelor life though
He was supposed to be a girl so his parents were in for a surprise when he came out
They had gotten everything ready from the dresses to his room so when he was a kid they'd put him in dresses and had a pink room until he was 6 and he got fed up at his friends teasing him and re-painted the room himself
dude I was looking through clips for a reference image and it literally makes me sick with anger that Genndy chose to portray Africa like That. Literally racist caricatures like come onnnn man. The worst part is that I really want to LIKE that episode aside from the art direction. His mentor is a very sweet guy and I like Jack’s little rivalry with the other kid. I dislike that Jack has to save everyone and the other tribe is portrayed even worse, but at least Jack isn’t fighting by his fucking self the whole scene. there was so much potential in this episode if Genndy hadn’t been so fucking racist with his character designs. I do not fucking understand why he chose to make them absolutely pitch black in color. That’s not what humans look like. It’s like how he colors Jack straight up yellow sometimes. I know during the time this came out it was not very likely for bigotry to get called out but that had to have made some people uncomfortable. Jeeeeesus Christ. The guy portrayed China more respectfully than he portrayed literally any other culture including Japan lmao. Actually I take that back he gave quite a few Chinese characters racist accents. The man wanted a ‘multiethnic’ feel to his show but could not fucking stop being white and racist for it

Imagine Mulan arrived looking like a man, Mulan already experience being around men and people would be surprise she is a woman. This also makes me think of the main cast asking her about her time in the war.
Mulan: And I was the first to accomplish the first assignment.
Jack: You got guts, showing how you can improve yourself.
Now it makes me think of Mulan and Jack being friends.
Deuce: Wait, you're all girls, but why is there a guy with you?
Mulan, minding her own business with her hair in a bun and a baggy tshirt: What...? Oh shoot you mean me!

Speaking of Jack, I haven't had the chance to bring this up. But you know in book 2 where he walks into Ramshackle early in the morning and wakes up the prefect? Yeah he doesn't make it that far in this au.
Jack goes to Ramshackle to get whoever is helping with the Savanaclaw problem. But Mulan, whose still on that military schedule, is the first up, and the moment she hears the sound of someone coming into the house she's alert. She straight up ambushes Jack and tackles him to the ground.
Crazy how in TV shows movies and books women can put on guys clothes and maybe cut their hair and everyone's like "yeah that's a dude" but I have to jump through hoops for people to not see me as a woman. SMH it was way easier to commit identity fraud in the middle ages
I love the samurai jack series, and Disney cartoon Mulan is one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, I was watching the samurai jack when I came across a Mulan costume, and laughed because of past memories, then I though that the two were similar in a way, then I thought what the hey let's mix these two, and it turned out amazing, I am so happy with this fusion, that I want to do more😲😃😆😍🤩
