Thank you, Suzy I reiterate that both versions of the anime are worth the watch, so it will likely come down to accessibility as to which one you go with

I don't feel like I quite do the detailing of Hiromu Arakawa's work but I am proud of what I've accomplished been really fun revisiting the series like this.

Ling Yao is a young prince from the eastern nation of Xing, one of 43 potential heirs to the throne. Born the twelfth son of the Xing Emperor and the descendant of the wealthy Yao clan, he lived a childhood of privilege and mortal danger as the unstable succession situation in Xing meant a constant threat of assassination from each of the other clans hoping to attain the throne. He journeys to Amestris in search of the Philosopher’s Stone in hopes of achieving immortality and become the Emperor of Xing where he can protect and serve the country for the long term.

He’s a fascinating blend of rowdy charm and razor-sharp ambition. Loud, playful, and often comically over-the-top, Ling raids kitchens for food, teases his companions, and turns every situation into a bit of theater. His easy humor and carefree attitude make him seem like a cheerful troublemaker rather than a future emperor, masking the keen intelligence and calculating drive that lie beneath his grin where a clever mind and fierce ambition reside.

Like Mustang, Ling's character is defined by his unyielding ambition and a strong representation of Slytherin. cunning adaptability, and willingness to make difficult choices in pursuit of his goals. Ling knows when to lead with charisma, when to listen, and when to strike, demonstrating the sort of strategic intelligence that defines Slytherin’s best qualities. Unlike those who see ambition as selfishness, Ling wields it with purpose. Every risk he takes (crossing into Amestris, bargaining with dangerous forces, even walking the thin line between life and death) is rooted in his desire to protect his clan and secure lasting stability for his people.

And for a fun fact: his voice actor in Japanese, Mamoru Miyano, is also the Japanese dub voice for Newt Scamander and Percy Weasley.
