Mulan is courageous and more self-reliant, outspoken, and independent rather than graceful, obedient, silent and demure.
“Fa Mulan is the eighth Disney Princess and first appeared
in Disney's 36th animated feature film Mulan (1998). The movie is adapted from
the legend of Hua Mulan (386–534). Mulan, atypical and unlike most previous
female roles, is courageous and more self-reliant. She also does not fit in
with the expectations of a young Chinese girl of the time; despite her natural
beauty, she is clumsy, outspoken, and independent rather than graceful, silent
and demure. Her meeting with the matchmaker ended in chaos because of this,
(with help from a certain cricket), and the matchmaker claimed that even though
she had the looks of a bride, she would never find a match. However, her
courage, intelligence, and determination helped her through her adventures, in
which she disguises herself as a male soldier in order to fight in the Chinese
army in place of her wounded father. She was voiced by Ming-Na while her
singing was provided by Lea Salonga.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Princess
“Shan Yu is among the most ruthless and merciless villains
ever seen in the Disney universe. He proves that it is not below him to kill
his enemies in cold blood to prove his strength. He even makes jokes about it:
After capturing two imperial scouts and sending them to deliver his challenge
to the emperor, he asks his lead archer how many men it takes to deliver a
message. The archer then draws his bow and replies, "One."
Ultimately, only one scout delivers the message, implying that the archer
killed the other. He is also shown to be merciless even to defenseless
individuals, as evidenced by his murderous smirk when he suggests that he
"return" the doll to its owner, as well as being implied to have
killed the owner of the doll as well as her entire village.” http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Shan_Yu
