Chen Honghui
Male
Age: 20s
MUST BE able to speak fluent English and Mandarin Chinese
Character Synopsis: strapping, cocky, and handsome, Honghui is another recruit who joins Commander Tung's unit, and he's determined to be the best soldier in human history. Full of himself, with a mean, bullying streak to him, he quickly realizes that Mulan is his chief rival, but he does not realize that she is a woman. Grittily determined to be simply the best at everything, Honghui is increasingly peeved by Mulan's ability to match or out-maneuver him.
