Lyra

Lyra (ライラ, Raira), is a young girl who appears only in the 2003 anime and is first introduced as the highest ranking subordinate of Yoki. Yoki holds her in high esteem for her powerful alchemic abilities. An ambitious but somewhat misguided girl, she aspires to one day become a State Alchemist and serve her country. She uses a necklace that bears a small transmutation circle to condense air into a liquid state and vaporize it again, forcing it at high velocity toward her opponents. When she is defeated in battle by Edward Elric she becomes the apprentice of Dante in an effort to improve her already strong abilities. The aging Dante, however, selfishly performs a body switch with the innocent Lyra soon afterwards, killing her so that her secret wouldn't get out.

Throughout the latter half of the series, Lyra's appearance (albeit with Dante inside) becomes the face of the main antagonist.

A parallel version of her serves tea to Edward and Fritz Lang in Conqueror of Shamballa. She makes a snobbish gesture when she catches Edward staring in shock at her.
