Character: Winry Rockbell
Series:
Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)
Character Age: 15
Canon: Mix one part bean alchemist to one part living armor, half a cup of military shenanigans, and add a dash of psychotic ambitions to taste. Beat roughly with a slapstick in a large Amestris country. Let cool in a Waiting For The Villian's Next Move environment. Serves countless thousands that died to create the Philosopher's Stone, and stores well with automail limbs. Thus, you have the recipe that creates the delicious series of Fullmetal Alchemist. Edward and Alphonse Elric, the series' protagonists, leave their home on a mission to regain their lost bodies after committing a taboo with alchemy while trying to revive their dead mother. Along the way, they run into all sorts of obstacles like being enlisted in the military, discovering a heinous plot to use thousands of lives to gain immortality, nearly being killed left and right, and that's just the beginning.
One of their childhood friends is Winry Rockbell, an energetic automail mechanic that helps maintain Ed's prosthetic limbs. Nicknamed an automail otaku, Winry is obsessed about anything to do with automail or machinery, and beats the crap out of Ed whenever he damages his automail limbs. It's a tough love, really. Being the daughter of two doctors, Winry knows the value of human life and cares deeply for all people and especially her friends. Being one of the stronger characters of the series, she watches Ed and Al struggle and fight which hardens her resolve to support them as best as she can, getting better and better at mechanics to make the best automail for Ed so he can complete his goal. But who says he didn't need that handy machine gun made into his arm?

Ugh, my butt hurts! Who can ride those trains all day? I'll never understand how Ed and Al do it all the time. Always running around all over the country, getting beat up, bashing my beautiful work like it's NOTHING. I don't even want to imagine the damage Ed's done to his arm and leg this time. Oh, my poor creations ... I just finished fitting them up with new plates and gears, too! And gave it extra oil for better motion range! And how does he repay me? By calling me out in the middle of NOWHERE saying he needs a SLIGHT REPAIR when he really means he's BUSTED IT and ohhh just wait until I get my hands on him I'm gonna--
-- AHAHAHA. Hi there! Oh, look, there are actually people way out here. I didn't see anyone at the station so I decided to wander around a bit, and no, I have no idea how that swath of carnage appeared behind me! Besides, it's just some swamp land, right? Right? Let's take a look over there by those other people!!
Hey, there are quite a few people here missing limbs, aren't there? Automail can fix that right up! Never heard of automail? It's only the GREATEST THING EVER! And you're in luck! My name's Winry Rockbell, and I happen to be an automail mechanic. I've been training hard recently and can replace nearly anything with quality automail limbs! I can give you and your friends a good deal, Mr. Lurrrhg~ Is that Xingese? ... though I think your friend there is beyond any help a mechanic could bring. I've never seen a replaced HEAD before. If there's a place close by where I could get parts, I'll see what I can do. Great! I'll head over to the lake and check it out.
... I think he gave me bad directions. "Second stump to the right, and straight on 'till moaning" didn't make a whole lot of sense, anyway. I'll head towards that orange glow to ask for better -- Oh, wow! What was that in the water?! It was so smooth that I could cry! The arc of that tentacle, the ease of it curling in on itself, the strength of the grip as it uprooted that tree! If I could make automail move like that, it'd be even BETTER than a real limb! I'm so inspired~ I could even make a whole new line of automail from that and I can make a prototype and fit it on Ed to have him test it out and--
Oh, right. Ed. You just stay right there, my little tentacle friend~ I'll be back as soon as I clobber some sense into the runt. ♥
