Fullmetal Alchemist Anime Info

Character Bios: Lyra

She is an alchemist under the command of Lieutenant Yoki with the aspirations of becoming a State Alchemist. Lyra is Yoki’s best enforcer, due to her powerful alchemic attacks: Lyra’s alchemy uses the moisture in the air around her, which she condenses and shoots at an extremely high velocity. After Edward's arrival in Youswell, and the subsequent incident at the local inn, Lyra uses her alchemy to destroy the building. When Edward exposes Yoki for the corrupt military official he is, Lyra made one last desperate attempt to stop Ed but was unable to beat him in battle, and this loss effectively shut the door on her dream of becoming a State Alchemist. Lyra later resurfaced as a student of Dante, and died when Dante used what was left of her Philosopher's Stone to swap their souls, channeling herself into Lyra's young and healthy body while Lyra entered the aged and dying body of her master (which was then torn in half). Lyra's original body, while possessed by Dante, began to decay as a result of the transfer. In the end of the anime, it is presumed that neither survived, either because of the rampaging Gluttony or the decay brought about from Dante's own rotting soul.
