Chances are, she'll end up with an existing character. It's generally considered better representation if a character who was previously introduced as "normal" is revealed as LGBTQA+ rather than introducing a brand new character who walks around with a big flashing sign reading "IM GAY". Hence Ruby, Mulan, and Dorothy.

If they go with that, I could see Mulan ending up with Lily or Rapunzel more than anyone. Lily is already a recurring character without a love interest (besides a loser boyfriend who was only mentioned), so revealing that she's actually LGBTetc. would fit with what they did with Ruby, Mulan, and Dorothy. Rapunzel isn't already recurring but gets bonus points for being a well-known character. She also has the potential to return, unlike most one-time characters. Plus, it would be an interracial gay relationship with two classic Disney princesses. The liberals would love it.

If they introduce a character, though, it's more likely to be "Shang Li". Giving her a male love interest would likely be considered chickening out of her sexuality (while bisexuality is still a thing and it's appreciated when it's included, that's usually when a woman usually interested in guys goes for a woman - in other words, an apparently heterosexual (aka, the typical) character going for the same sex, as opposed to an apparently homosexual (aka, the atypical but requested) character going for the opposite sex).
