Creator Note
Guardian spirit dragon, comical and overconfident!
Mushu is the deuteragonist of Disney's 1998 animated feature film, Mulan. He is a pint-sized, fast-talking, self-absorbed Chinese dragon and the self-appointed guardian of Fa Mulan.
Mushu was the spiritual guardian of the Fa Family. A position of great respect within their circle. Yet, one day, he failed his duties resulting in the death of a family member, a soldier named Fa Deng, resulting in the soldier's demise by decapitation. A failure so horrible that no one can ever even pronounce it's name. Since that day, Mushu has been humiliated, demoted to the position of incense burner and gong-ringer for these same ancestors. Mushu's reputation would suffer dearly from this, causing a bitter and eager-to-please side has been brought out from him as the eldest of the ancestors refuse to acknowledge him as a "real dragon". This was prior to the events of the Mulan story.
