It's fine because I honestly already thought of that and have an answer. She was probably against arranged marriages in the first movie too, but it was because she wanted to please (I think she cared more about pleasing than honor and thought honor was what would make her family happy and more proud of her even though in the end its revealed not to be. I think there was a bit of miscommunication there or something, but I do believe they did want honor technically, just not more than Mulan herself.) he parents so badly, she was willing to go through with it. All her life she was told that was her purpose and she probably felt wrong thinking it wasn't but couldn't help it but was so self concious, she thought maybe she was the wrong one and tried to be "right" which is what she was told by authorities and society. But when it wasn't her herself, it was eaier to oppose the idea. Just think, she did almost go through the wedding with prince jeeki, not because she wanted to but because she believed it was right for the good of China and her friends. If you think about it, Mulan kind of does have a low interest in romance. Shang was the exception.
