Nina Tucker

Nina Tucker is the young daughter of Shou Tucker, The "Sewing-Life Alchemist", and his wife. She is around 3-6 years old.

Appearance
Nina Tucker is a young child aged between 3-6 years old with mid-length brown hair and blue eyes.

As a Chimera
After being alchemicaly fused with the family dog Alexander by her father, Shou Tucker, Nina inhabits the body of a dog-like beast, a similar size and build to a small lion. This creature has a brown main the same colour as Nina's original hair. This chimera has the ability to speak, as did the chimera Tucker created from his wife, and is also incomplete, causing Nina-Alexander great pain.

Background
At the point of original introduction, Nina Tucker is the young daughter of Shou Tucker, an alchemist with which Edward and Alphonse Elric stay for some time. Unfortunately, in order for Tucker to remain a state alchemist and recieve funding for his experiments into the creation of chimera, he transmutes both his wife and daughter (at different times) in an attempt to create a talking chimera. The original attempt with his wife succeeded and so the only way to secure his funding was to transmute Nina and the family dog, Alexander, to create another talking chimera to present to the State Military. Nina eventualy escapes in chimera form and is killed by Scar, much to the distress of Edward and Alphonse. Tucker later tries to recreate his daughter in Labratory 5, but is unsuccessful.
