Corniche R. Royce

Corniche R. Royce is a character who appeared in the Game Boy Advance game Fullmetal Alchemist: Stray Rondo.

Personality
Corniche is a sheltered young lady who grew up in the care of her home and has never left it before, longing to see the world. Despite her naivete, she is quite quick-witted and clever in tense situations. Relishing her older brother's favorite phrase, "Alchemist, Be Thou For The People", she wants to be of use to more people and become a State Alchemist to use her skills in alchemy to help improve the lives of others.

Role In the Story
Corniche first appeared heading to Central City to apply to become a State Alchemist like her missing brother. During that time, her train gets hijacked by the terrorist Bald 's group which uses her as a hostage. The Elric brothers rescue her and learn that she heading towards Central for State Alchemy Exam. Corniche decides to tag along Elrics as she hasn't traveled before and the train gets attacked by a Chimera and stops at a town named Viva. The trio rescues the town which is swarming with Chimeras but fail to find the culprit. They continue their journey towards the Central, where Corniche realizes that she has forgotten her qualification essay. While she is insisting on her participation, King Bradley appears and sets up a condition for her certification- to beat Major Alex Louis Armstrong. Corniche fails and Edward is summoned by King Bradley for a Chimera Extermination Mission in East City, which Corniche decides to join in.

After investigating the Chimera incidents, Corniche finds out her brother is alive and is the one orchestrating the terrorist attacks. After confronting him, Corniche questions Lincor if he really is her brother who would hold the words 'Alchemist, Be Thou for the People' dear but Linor bluntly refuses of having any recollection of her and violently attacks the party. The party defeats Lincor but he refuses to give up. Ed sums up all the events and concludes that the power Lincor possess is not by using the Philosopher's Stone but by trading his precious memories with his sister.

Emboldened by the encouraging words of the deceased Aston Martins, Corniche heals the party and chooses to fight her maddened brother. Lincor eventually dies while saying some parting thanks to his sister before his death. Back at Central HQ, the party recovers from their former friend's death and Corniche is finally allowed to retake the State Alchemy Exam. Corniche passes the exam and earns her brother's title 'The Tuning Alchemist'. She gladly accepts it and decides that she would recompense for her brother's wrongdoing.
