Dragon being Mulan's father makes the most sense. She came out to her parents, and he rejected her, because the 'honor to us all' was lost. LGBT people wasn't accepted in Ancient Eastern Asian countries, and this story could reflect that. OUAT is so lack of an Asian story, so I think this is the best way to connect two unresolved existing Asian characters in one episode.

Dragon being Lily's father is so humiliating to Lily's race. People could react.

Jamie Chung is recurring on Gotham right now, but her character is unoriginal, non-canon in comics, so Valerie Vale seems to be created to be killed off. Maybe she could join Once at some point.

By the way, Kristin van Bauer Straten has just retweeting lots of OUAT tweets relating to Maleficent and Evil Queen yesterday and today. Does she often do that? If she doesn't, I see that as a sign that she was connected to resume the role.
