Lyra

Lyra (ライラ, Raira), is a young girl who appears only in the 2003 anime and is first introduced as a subordinate of Yoki. An ambitious but somewhat misguided person, 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 novice abilities. The aging Dante, however, performs a body switch with Lyra soon afterwards, leaving her to be killed by Dante's enemies in the older woman's stead.

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.
