Fictional Character, Fictional Life- Mikaela Gatewood

Ok, if I had to be any fictional character, I'd be Mulan. First of all, she rejects the whole arranged marriage, finding a husband type deal, and kinda just wants to be herself, which is super cool. Second, when the Hun attack China and her super old dad gets called to war, she's like screw that, and takes his place. She cuts off all her hair and rides into a thunderstorm in the night on a horse, like god damn. Then, once she's at the army training camp, she goes from being hella weak to like the best warrior of them all. She can shoot off apples from the top of people's heads and hit like the bullseye like 5 times in a row. And when it's actually time to fight the Hun, she ends up battling the leader in the emperor's palace, swinging across the court yard on ribbons and stuff. She defeats him, saves all of China, and earns the respect of the emperor. Overall, I think Mulan is a fantastic role model for young girls and generally an overall badass. She was one of the first Disney princesses whose story line didn't primary focus on a love story, and I think that's fantastic. Also she has a talking dragon as a pet and who wouldn't want that.
