Lan Fan's left arm

OLIVIER MIRA ARMSTRONG MY BELOVED

Favorite thing about them: She is stone cold and tough as nails and DEEPLY principled, but she doesn't have a gap moe style "soft center" where she squees over a particular thing or gets Big Anime Eyes about something cute or whatever. She does have a soft side and she cares for the people she sees as hers, but she is never, ever tame.

Least favorite thing about them: Not a damn thing. Olivier RULES

Favorite line: The entire speech she gives to General Raven before shoving him into wet concrete, but "You're going to lose [the seat] your moldy ass has clung to for far too long" is some BAD BITCH SHIT

BrOTP: I loved her interactions with Izumi Curtis; I wish they could have been on screen together the entire time.

OTP/nOTP: I don't really have one for either! Olivier doesn't have any love interests or romance arc and that absolutely rules for her.

Random headcanon: She supports her little sister's piano playing, and she naturally expresses it with her usual cold bombast. Catherine understands.

Unpopular opinion: I'm not sure what the prevailing fandom opinions are regarding her! I do know that dubs vs subs is an ongoing argument in anime, but I'm a dub enjoyer and I think it's cool as hell that she shares a VA with Sylvia Sherwood from SxF.

Song I associate with them: Nothing off the top of my head, but she would love that part in the 1812 Overture with the real actual cannons in the concert hall.

Favorite picture of them: Gotta be a still from her introduction. That's her alright <3

Let's go with Lan Fan!

Favorite thing about them: I love a badass lady with a deeply unhealthy relationship to her own worth. I love that she loses her arm and has to come to terms with everything during the story; I love that she's the one who watches Wrath die; I love that her first reaction to seeing a political rival was "nearly threw hands with a thirteen year old".

Least favorite thing about them: NOTHING LAN FAN IS THE GOAT

Favorite line: I can't think of a line because the scene where she drops on top of Gluttony, does that anime thing with the sword slices and the target is whole for a second before they start spurting blood, and then lands for a dramatic reveal? That shit lives in my head rent fuckin free baby

BrOTP: I really like what we saw of her and Mei; I hope when Ling is emperor they have the weirdest antagonism two good friends and political allies possibly can

OTP: I LOVE LingFan. I do love a bodyguard ship, and it's really sweet how much he values her and how she protects him and yadda yadda, but they're also both actual goblins and partners in crime and should never be left alone together.

nOTP: I'm not aware enough of the fandom to have one lmao most of my nOTPs are purely a product of fandom behavior

Random headcanon: She can put away more than Ling. Do NOT let this girl anywhere near an All-You-Can-Eat KBBQ she would lose her SHIT over bulgogi.

Unpopular opinion: None in particular, other than that it appears the FMAB fandom needs to get more Lan Fan-pilled immediately.

Song I associate with them: Basic as it is, the Xing Symphony from the OST, because it absolutely SLAPS.

Favorite picture of them: This one. She's so PRECIOUS and ANNOYING
