Fictional Character: Lucy Wan

If I could be any fictional character, I would be Mulan. I know this is a stereotypical choice, but Mulan was my childhood hero. The Disney version may not be a politically correct rendering of ancient China and the real-life Mulan, but the message she teaches is valuable. Mulan is, frankly, a badass. She doesn't fit into the norm of society, but she proves her worth outside of those boundaries. Who needs to be a princess when you can be the hero of all of China? Mulan taught me to be brave, courageous and strong, but most of all, she taught me that beauty comes from within.
