Armstrong's alchemy was self-describe as "artistic," and his pride in his physique was freqently translated to statues of himself. Though altruistic and kindly, Armstrong was often avoided by his fellows due to his overwhelming personality. Armstrong comes from a well-to-do family. His father is a short, but portley man, well his mother is skinny and very tall. Armstrong has two sisters in the manga, Olivier Milla Armstrong and Katherine Armstrong. In the anime, only Katherine appears in episode 37.
