Ridel LeCoulte (リドル・レコルト Ridoru Rekoruto) is an automail manufacturer in Rush Valley. He lives on the outskirts of town with his wife and father.
Ridel is introduced to the Elric brothers and Winry by Paninya in Chapter Eighteen when she takes them to see Dominic. When his wife goes into labor, his father is forced to go into town to find a doctor, only to find the bridge destroyed by lightning. Faced with no other options, Winry successfully delivers the baby herself.
Trivia
- In the 2003 anime series, the occurrence of Satella's labor is omitted and adapted so as to focus on Gracia Hughes' delivery of Elicia. Instead of Winry, Edward, Alphonse, and Paninya delivering Elicia, it was Edward, Alphonse, and Nina Tucker. Additionally, this occurrence is set during the 2003 series' flashback, three years before its place in the manga. As a result, Satella and Ridel are completely removed from that adaptation, and Dominic is never mentioned to have any family.
