Armony Eiselstein

Armony Eiselstein is a principle character in the video game Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel.

The daughter of Professor Wilhelm Eiselstein, she believes her father is cold to her because she is inept in the art of alchemy and has been forbidden to learn alchemy as a result. However, it is actually because of the Philosopher's Catalyst she contains in her own body. He is afraid that if she uses alchemy, it may have some effect on the alchemic amplifier, which she has no knowledge of having. She becomes Edward’s student in hopes of becoming proficient in the ancient science. She has a cheerful disposition and is a hard worker with a love for flowers, especially the Etherflower.

Armony's drive to learn alchemy is hampered by her father's deliberate order to everyone in New Hiessgart to forbid it. Eiselstein also instructs Ed and Al that they mustn't teach Armony any alchemy. Although Ed first intends to keep this promise, he later rescinds because he feels he can't say no to Armony's earnest longing to learn. However, at some point after Armony starts to attempt the alchemy transmutations that Ed teaches her, she collapses in front of both Elric Brothers, unable to breathe, and a white wing appears on her back.

Later, it is revealed that she is not who she thinks she is. She was a product of Wilheim's daughter, Selene. In an accident involved with the catalyst, Selene's body fused with it and she became Armony. Armony, however, has memories of the two of them together, causing her to be oblivious to her situation. She believes Selene to be her older sister, who died. The catalyst in her body is the reason why she was not attacked by the rampant chimera. In the end, with Mustang and Armstrong as guards to prevent Ed's interference, the catalyst within her body is released, killing both the professor and her.

Armony wrote a letter for Ed, which Colonel Mustang gives to Ed when the brothers and Major Armstrong prepare to board a train for Central. With the letter, she places a flower seed. But when Ed holds the seed in the palm of his hand, it starts to glow suddenly, then blooms into a full-grown Etherflower. Al muses that perhaps Armony's alchemic abilities had lain dormant within her, but none of them can guess why the flower transmuted just then. Ed releases the blossom out of the train window, and the field outside is suddenly covered by hundreds of the Etherflowers.

As a side point, while all of Armony's memories come from her prior life as Selene, her view of them differs between some. For instance, Armony tells Ed and Al that she recalls playing with her sister, but she also remembers her father teaching her alchemy, which she regards as the best time of her life. Obviously, she is remembering when her father taught her as Selene about alchemy, but despite this, after Selene's "death", Armony believes that Professor Eiselstein has forbidden her to learn more because she, Armony, is inept. This belief is reinforced by the fact that Armony's alchemic abilities are apparently dormant.
