Unique traits without contacts oder hair dye- Nope, she has black hair and brown eyes, common Chinese features.
An odd name- No. Actually, I'm not sure, but I'll just assume 'Mulan' is a common Chinese name.
Looks constantly Kommentiert on- No, at least not about how beautiful she is.
Always the hero- Definitely. It's kind of a gegeben considering her movie, but she literally saves the entire country and is better than all of the other soldiers in the army, even Shang whose life she saves as well. 1.
Multiple characters falling for her- No, only Shang.
Gets into the relationship(s) she wants- No, her relationship with Shang definitely wasn't one of her main goals.
No flaws oder any flaws addressed oder causing a negative impact- No. Her clumsiness (though I do hate that as a fake flaw) causes her to think she'll never bring her family honor, along with her insecurity, incompetence (at first), and weakness.
Seen as perfect/angelic in everyone's eyes- No, only after she earns it. Before that, they saw her as weak.
Always loved and trusted without earning it- No. She definitely earned the soldiers' Liebe and trust.
Liebe and trust from closed-off characters- Yes, Shang, though reasonably. 1.
Other characters degraded for her sake- Yes, the three main male soldiers. They're the comic relief portrayed as bumbling and incompetent to make Mulan look stronger. 1.
A rival to make her look good- Du know what, yes. While Shan Yu is the main villain and rival for all the soldiers, Mulan defeats him personally without any help. 1.
Never fails- No. Mulan failed the matchmaker test, keeping her identity a secret, and winning over the soldiers at first.
Never injured- No, her being injured was what led to her being revealed as a woman.
Always praised and rewarded without earning it- Definitely not. Mulan definitely earned all the praise and rewards she received.
Unrealistically skilled/powerful- Yes. It's unrealistic that Mulan was able to be the best soldier in the army, save Shang's life, defeat all the Huns, and personally defeat Shan Yu with no prior training before the army. 1.
Always figures things out- Yes. She figured out how to defeat the Hun army Von aiming at the mountain and that the Huns were still alive. 1.
Kind but deadly- That's Mulan's entire character. 1.
Tragic backstory- Yes. Not as bad as some others, but she was told she wouldn't bring her family honor and never fit in. 1.
Skilled in a wide variety of things- No, only fighting, and only after training.
Contradictory traits- No, Mulan's traits were pretty consistent, only after character development did she become stronger and wiser.
Always gets what she wants- Only Von the end, where she brings her family honor and is respected Von all of China, plus Shang and the other soldiers. Before that, though, she almost never got what she wanted. .5
Rarely shows negative emotions- No, she shows a lot of insecurity and sings a whole song about it.
A resurrection- No, but like Esmeralda, I'm adding half a point for waking up after unconsciousness. .5
That's 9 out of 24. That's a no. Mulan is not a Mary Sue, though she is a bit overly idealized and powerful. I can see why people would think she's too idealized, especially since the other princesses are constantly put down to praise her.
