Because I swear I thought Mulan liked Phillip in season 2, but then it turned out it was Aurora.

In my opinion, their initial plan was for Mulan to fall in love with Phillip and then changed it to Aurora (maybe because of the growth of SQ), but they weren't bold enough to really go there (or maybe it's abc or Disney that didn't allow it). Then there is that thing with seadon 5, since Mulan was "established" to be at least bi, you would think that she was intended to be one part of the gay ship, but nope, they inserted a less established character out of the blue and told us she liked girls (I think in this case Disney didn't allow it or A&E just wanted to have an illogical twist just to shock everyone for the sake of shocking everyone only). Meanwhile Mulan is lonely and unhappy and that is not a great message of "HOPE™".
