So When Are They Going to Get Around To Tiana?

Once Upon A TIme has been out with some casting news.



Emile De Raven Belle/Beauty will be back as a regular cast member.


Jaime Chung has been cast to play Mulan  ...  The character originates from an ancient Chinese poem about Hua Mulan, a young woman who takes her elderly father’s place in the army. ABC’s parent company Disney adapted the story for a well-received 1998 animated musical film starring Ming-Na and Eddie Murphy.

Some more details about Mulan’s character. She’s described as having been trained in weaponry, tracking and riding, but “has a spirituality that enhances her tactical and strategic abilities. She has suffered past betrayals, so her trust is hard-won, but once she gives her oath of friendship her loyalty knows no boundaries.” Also, “when she falls in love, she falls hard.”


And The Tudor's Sarah Bolger (Princess Mary Tudor) has been cast to play Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)...  In the original fairy tale, Princess Aurora fell a deep sleep after pricking her finger on Maleficent’s spinning wheel. Later, she was revived by the kiss of a handsome prince. Maleficent was introduced in the first season of the ABC drama, played by Kristin Bauer van Straten (True Blood's Pam). The Once Upon version of Aurora is described a spoiled girl from a privileged background who’s willing to “sacrifice everything for love.”
