And - while she certainly doesn't trust him - her reluctance to abandon people in need means she allows herself to get manipulated by Envy into returning to Central rather than continuing on to Xing.]]

* SenselessSacrifice: [[spoiler:He tries to blow himself up alongside Wrath in a kamikaze attack, but when Wrath slits his stomach and the bombs before they could detonate, Fu remarks how he's failed his services to Ling Yao and his final moments rendered useless... [[SubvertedTrope until Captain Buccaneer uses the opportunity to suddenly strike Wrath by using Fu's falling body to impale both old men in an attack the Ultimate Eye literally couldn't see coming]]. This allows Fu to die content, knowing his final moments provided a crucial opportunity for the heroes to win.]]

* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's first found by Alphonse collapsed in a heap on the street, travelled to Amestris [[DidntThinkThisThrough without an immigration document]], and usually acts like an eccentric goofball. He also has a sharp mind, is deeply devoted to Xing, and is fast and strong enough in combat to fight ''Wrath'' to a stalemate.

* CatchPhrase: Ling has two phrases that he says some variation of several times in the series: 'A King is no King without his people. Without his people, there is no King' and 'People of Xing always keep their word'.

* IronicEcho: Ling's CatchPhrase is 'a King is no King without his people'. To help Ling remember to have a sense of self-preservation, Lan Fan's response to this is 'But people without a King would be lost as well'.

Ed and Al never do learn alkahestry, do they?


* TeacherStudentRomance: She teaches Al about alkahestry and she very much likes him. [[spoiler: Her presence in the Elric family photo in both the manga and ''Brotherhood'' implies that Al returned those feelings.]]

* TeacherStudentRomance: She teaches Al about alkahestry and she very much likes him. [[spoiler: Her presence in the Elric family photo in both the manga and ''Brotherhood'' implies that Al returned those feelings.]]]] Downplayed in that she is too used to "feeling the Dragon's Pulse" to teach Al how to do it, which means he doesn't learn alkahestry in time for the final battle.

Oedipus Complex is a disambiguation


* {{Foil}}: Ling is a contrasting character to both Ed and [[spoiler: Greed]], who incidentally also parallel each other in a few ways. Unlike either of them, Ling is fairly transparent about his feelings, lacks their egotism, and doesn't share their overt OedipusComplex despite having sufficient reasons to despise his father (instead he appears indifferent).
