...If not for that cricket. Most of these we'd all agree are not necessary to be a good bride, daughter, friend, wife, atau sister, but for kicks, since we never got to find out if she passed, let's see how she would have scored:
Good fortune: Well, I don't believe in luck, but she sure had a lot of it in the movie. Her plans were all crazy-sounding yet they all miraculously worked! Check.
A great hairdo: I know not everyone cares for Mulan's hair but I Cinta her matchmaker hair. Pretty and elegant but in a rather casual way, so it Suits her. Check.
Striking a good match: Well, obviously, she can't unless she passes the test. But Shang sure is a good one, but too bad for her he doesn't tunjuk up till well after the test, so I'll discount this one.
Good taste: I never got this one. Good taste in what? Clothes? Friends? In general, I suppose. When I think of tastefulness I generally think of a rather sophisticated person. Mulan has her own kind of poise, but I wouldn't call her sophisticated. But she does have great clothes (I'm a little biased- I Cinta almost all kinds of those traditional Asian dresses and adore her bride gown), so I'll give her a half-check.
Calm: Yep, she's one of the calmest Disney Princesses. Check.
Obedient: A big trait about Mulan that is very forgettable with people. She's a very obedient daughter. Check.
Works fast-paced: Mulan is a liiiittle lazy and unmotivated, but when she works, she works hard. Half-check.
Good breeding: I know some people think she literally meant getting it on, but no, breeding was another word for upbringing. They mean coming from a good background/family/etc. Mulan's family seems to be socially accepted and maybe even respected. (Then, of course, the Emperor honors her family, which would help enormously.) She may not be Melanie Wilkes, but she's very well-behaved, respectful towards everyone (especially her elders), obedient, modest, and has grace under fire. Check.
A tiny waist: Mulan does not have a tiny waist, although they sure gave her one with the scarf. But according to the matchmaker, this was too tiny a waist- not good for bearing sons! No check.
Bringing honor to her family: She always tried to bring honor to them the one way she could: sejak being a loyal daughter, even if it meant marrying a stranger. (And again, then saving China...) Check.
Others-
Speaking without permission: anda Lost there, Mulan. No check.
Reciting the final admonition: anda totally cheated, Mulan, but anda passed... sejak a thread! Check.
Poised: I know Mulan is clumsy, but I think she can be poised. She looks very dignified during the song as well as when she takes out her dad's sword, and even when she sits in the rain, about to make the fateful decision. She's always composed, too, almost never having any outbursts. Check.
Dignified: See above. Sometimes she can't help it due to the clumsiness (and how can a girl possibly look sophisticated with Mushu's Nasihat on Berlakon like a man?), but check.
Refined: She's dignified but not so refined, which is lebih of Aurora's thing. No check.
...AND SILENT!: She's pretty quiet, but apparently not enough for the matchmaker. No check.
So altogether, 12 points. I'm sorry to say I have no idea how the matchmaker grades these tests so I can't tell anda what this means, but I do think Mulan would have done all right, if not well. How anda treat your parents, animals, kids, and the elderly can say a lot about what kind of wife/husband material you'd make, and I think Mulan would be a great one, even regarding many of the matchmaker's lofty, unnecessary standards.
Do anda think she would have passed? Done well,, but failed? Not done very well at all?

hei everybody! Happy DMLK day! I'll celebrate sejak some mixed people...
Lottie and Tia!
I like that even in their racist times Tiana and Lottie were Friends all the way... I'm sure in events before the movie, Charlotte's light skinned Friends judged her because she was Friends with Tia and Tia's darker dark skinned Friends didn't trust Lottie... I found this relationship sweet... she even risked a life-long dream for Tia. Can this friendship get anymore sweeter???
:') They've been Friends since they were 5 atau 7... unlike Pocahontas and her BFF... we don't know a lot about them... she seemed like a character after those sailors... but Lottie and Tia have that kind of friendship. The highlight is their times. Talk about racist! So yeah that's it!
This Friendship is perfect for today!
[I] I'll do it but for anda Tia, no marriage included![I]

She's gentle, kind, and clumsy and is Brave enough to stand up to Clayton even when he has a gun -BB2010
I Cinta how awkward yet interesting she is; I admire her bravery and empathy, and I like how she has a talent for drawing and curiosity for the jungle life. I Cinta her relationship with Tarzan, one of my kegemaran Disney couples; her Rekaan is really pretty as well -WhiteLagoon13
Everything! She is smart, she is dedicated to her work, but I also Cinta that her "damsel" moments are the result of her being in an unfamiliar situation, and that she learns to adjust to her new environment sejak the end of the movie. -Swanpride
