Tough choice. They both are my 2nd and 3rd favorite.

I've always really liked Belle, and I first watched BatB at a younger age than I did Mulan so there's nostalgia in there too.

By far.

I saw Belle as a child, and Mulan as an adult. And even though I saw Mulan when I was so much older, I loved her immediately. Belle was charming to other fans, but I didn't see her charm then, and still do not, now..

My sister, a Belle fan, explained to me that she has always liked a certain "bossy quality" in her characters. My sister's favorites are all a tad bossy ( Rapunzel, Belle, and especially Tinkerbell). Mind you, Pokemon tops all Disney princesses for my sister.

My sister has told me that I don't like bossy characters, so that's why I like Ariel and Mulan. My sister is right. Mulan isn't very bossy. She's more "a team player."
