Lyra

Lyra (ライラ, Raira), is a young girl who appears only in the 2003 anime and is first introduced as the highest ranking subordinate of Yoki. Yoki holds her in high esteem for her powerful alchemic abilities, and as such makes her his personal bodyguard/enforcer of his laws. She also was Yoki and Edward's maid when dining in Yoki's mansion. An ambitious but somewhat misguided girl, 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. This attack has the power to destroy buildings. When she is defeated in battle by Edward Elric she learns her mistake in following Yoki and becomes the apprentice of Dante three years later in an effort to improve her already strong abilities. Telling Edward and Alphonse that they were the reason for kinder change of heart and her outlook on life. The aging Dante, however, selfishly performs a body switch with the innocent Lyra soon afterwards, killing her so that her secret wouldn't get out.

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. She makes a snobbish gesture when she catches Edward staring in shock at her.
