 * Mulan will likely be heavily influenced by the character of the same name in Disney's animated film, Mulan.
 * She is one of the few non-fairytale characters in the series as her story comes from a legend.
 * Mulan, as well as Captain Hook, will be involved in Prince Phillip's journey to find Princess Aurora.
 * It was written on TV Guide Magazine that Sarah Bolger said "Waking up and seeing the love of my life with another woman will potencially cause conflict".
