These aspects of the film are more in keeping with a traditional Chinese perspective on cultural value, such as the importance of family and honor. On the official Disney Princess website, the character's brief biography reads, "Mulan is a loving girl who is always brave and bold. When her country needs it most, she disguises herself as a man and goes off to fight. She uses courage and determination to win the day."<ref name=":6">{{Cite web|url = http://princess.disney.com/mulan|title = Meet Mulan|website = Disney Princess|publisher = Disney|access-date = March 4, 2014|archive-date = February 10, 2014|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140210125429/http://princess.disney.com/mulan|url-status = live}}</ref> Although Mulan is a member of the Disney Princess franchise, she is not a legitimate princess in the traditional sense, as she was neither born the daughter of a king or queen, nor does she become [[princess consort]] by marrying a prince.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.familychoiceawards.com/entertainment/the-disney-princess-reign-supreme/|title = The Disney Princess Reign Supreme|website = Family Choice Awards|access-date = March 10, 2014|publisher = Family Magazines|last = Brokaw|first = Francine|date = 25 January 2014|archive-date = 10 March 2014|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140310085206/http://www.familychoiceawards.com/entertainment/the-disney-princess-reign-supreme/|url-status = live}}</ref> She is the franchise's first and currently only East Asian member.<ref name=":12" />
