Background
Kind, optimistic, and sincere, Winry acts like a concerned family member to the Elric brothers whenever in their company. Having known Edward and Alphonse since childhood, she maintains a close friendship with the two. Orphaned at a young age because her parents were doctors who were killed during the Ishval Chivil War, she has lived with her grandmother in the town of Resembool since. Despite being rather tomboyish she is perfectly willing to use her feminine charms to get what she wants.

Abilities and Powers
Known as an "Automail Otaku", she is fascinated by any and all types of machines, excelling in building and repairing automail. She takes pride in her work as a mechanic. Along with her grandmother, Pinako, who is a famous automail engineer, the two run a small automail shop out of their own home. They are also the ones responsible for Edward's automail arm and leg, having been asked to make and install the limbs by Edward after he lost them in the failed human transmutation of his mother. Winry takes it upon herself to make sure that his automail is in top form and will go out of her way to travel for servicing when it's needed.

Arrival in Traverse Town
Winry has only just recently arrived in Traverse Town and ran into Edward.
