History: She is one of two bodyguards of Ling Yao. She can sense the presence of a soul (referred to as chi); thus she can quickly identify Homunculi like Envy that have more than one soul in their Philosopher's Stones (meaning she can easily see through Envy's disguises, but cannot recognize Bradley, because he has only one soul like a human). In chapter 47 she cuts off her arm after it is rendered useless in an effort to divert Bradley's attention away from Ling and herself while they escape into the sewer. The trap that she sets for Bradley is very similar to the one she herself was caught in by Edward when she fought him when they first arrived in the series, proving that she learns from her mistakes. She and Ling are the first people close to the Elric brothers to find out that Bradley is a Homunculus. Although we are never told her age Ling refers to her as a "girl" so we can assume that she and Ling are around the same age. Ling also refers to LanFan and Foo as if they are from the same family, and we later learn Foo is her grandfather. She is a very skilled fighter, as seen in her many fights with Envy, and by the fact that she was able to cut through Bradley?s sword to avoid his finishing blow, despite the severe injury to her left arm. She is very quiet and cares deeply for Ling, even to the point of self-sacrifice. She is constantly thinking of his safety and often forgets her own; in chapter 50 she wants to go back to the battle to protect Ling, even though she is missing her left arm and still needs to rest.
Before the group splits up again, she speaks to Edward about getting automail. Now that Ling?s body is being used by Greed, her future is very unclear. Recently it has been revealed that Ling and Greed are still struggling over the same body. Ling/Greed gives Ed a rag to deliver to LanFan, and he does so. On the rag was written "I have obtained the Philosopher's Stone" in Xingian. LanFan is initially overjoyed that they've finally found the stone, but she soon realizes that Ling not being able to deliver the note himself means something is wrong.
In the latest issue of the manga, LanFan demands that Al take her to get an automail arm as soon as possible. Alphonse, after seeing how similar her disposition was to Edward's when he wanted automail and noting she would probably get along with Winry and Pinako, reluctantly agrees to introduce her to a mechanic. Foo refuses the offer, saying that continuing to have personal connections with the Elric brothers and their friends would put them all in even more danger. LanFan swears that she will heal and get an automail arm in 6 months, half the time that Edward took in recuperating and getting automail. In chapter 63, she and her grandfather Foo decide to return to Xing, but not without vowing to return in the future to save Ling.

Dancing Bears, Painted Wings...
Things I almost remember...
And a song someone sings...
Once apon a December...
Far away, Long ago...
Glowing dim as an ember...
Things my heart use to know,
Things it yerns to remember...
And a song, someone sings...
Once apon a December... |
