Character Information
Name: Winry Rockbell
Source Canon: Fullmetal Alchemist
Age: 15
Role In Canon: Secondary character ; childhood friend and mechanic of the protagonists.
Justification: N/A
History: Wiki Link
Personality: In her canon, Winry was born in 1899 in the fictional country of Amestris, one which parallels Germany but with various anachronisms. Due to the time period, and the village she was raised in, Winry is significantly more mature, confident, and independent than one would expect of someone her age. This is an aspect carried by almost all the children of FMA, and not just the primary and secondary characters, even background characters are shown to already have a good deal of independence. An example being Nelly, a girl and friend of the Rockbells and Elrics who already takes care of the animals and farm her family owns. For what we've seen of Rizenbul almost all of the kids take up their parents trade at an early age.
She grew up in a loving household with her parents and grandmother were very patient, kind, and encouraging but it was her own pride and understanding of the situation that made her want to live up to the Rockbell name. She took up both trades from a very young age and showed remarkable talent for both fields, particularly automail which involved skills as a mechanic and doctor.
Once someone gets to know her, the most prominent features of Winry are her determination and intelligence. She isn't the kind to tolerate self-deprecation or wallowing in self-pity, and definitely does not stand for anyone giving up before they have even started. Winry rarely ever does anything half-way, when she decides on something, she throws on it entirely.
This is particularly obvious when it comes to her work. Granted, a lot of the reason she studies so much is so she can help the Elrics, but she genuinely loves to learn and be challenged. What she loves most is being given something she has yet to see or know about, and taking it apart--both figuratively, and literally. It extends into her having a great curiosity to just about everything and everyone which can sometimes land her in a difficult position. She takes great pride in her work, both as a mechanic and doctor and has great respect for anyone who is passionate about their work, whatever it may be.
She's a pretty sentimental character sometimes. She has very deep value for family, whether it be blood or otherwise which is why she is always constantly worried about the Elrics, and thus appears so often aggravated and angry (particularly at Ed). Her family values shine through in not only how she loves the Elrics, and how she treasures the memory of her parents and grandmother. Even if someone is older than her she might come off as mothering sometimes--she knows better than to pamper them since it would come off as patronizing, but she will butt into someone's business if her concern becomes extreme. She also always has her door open to discuss problems if anyone ever wants to come to her of their own accord. She manages to do much of her nudging in a very inconspicuous manner.
Ironically, even though she is kind-spirited in that manner, she also has has a terrifyingly large temper. Anger is something that Winry unfortunately has a lot of, to the point of it almost being unhealthy. In some ways it helps--she gets angry more than she gets upset so it can serve as a driving force as opposed to wallowing--but anger of course is a very dangerous emotion so it sometimes leads her to take very aggressive and impulsive actions. This is shown in small portions by her habit of wrenching or punching people when they annoy her, which happens regularly (at least where Ed is concerned) but even this is only scratching at the surface. After all, she was willing to pick up a gun and point it at someone, and even if she didn't shoot that is still a very significant action. She is a person easy to anger, but easy to forgive (or at least tolerate). She isn’t the type to hold grudges and despite her tantrums she would never seriously harm anyone close to her, and learns to persevere both emotionally in the presence of others.
Despite everything she has been through she remains quite optimistic and has a generally cheerful attitude. She has a sometimes quirky, sometimes odd sense of humor and loves to tease and taunt those she is fond of. It has a habit of getting her into a lot of trouble, but she somehow always manages to slip out. Only on very rare occasions does her true anger, bitterness, and depression for all the things that have happened. She can be quite impulsive at times, sensitive, and shrill but she does mean well, and has a heavy sense of duty.
Abilities: The thing that Winry has going for her most is her intelligence. From the day she was born Winry was raised amongst scholars and people who were incredibly proficient at their work. Even Hohenheim, who left when she was so young left an impact on her. He was very studious and a great alchemist, something that her best friends the Elrics took after. Both her own parents were great doctors, and instilled in her a great sense of enthusiasm and compassion to follow their footsteps. Her grandmother, a great automail engineer also inspired her to work towards that vocation. While in many regards Amestris is 'behind' quite a number of worlds, with her drive and determination Winry is the kind of person who can pick up and learn things pretty quickly.
Thanks to this background, Winry is both a doctor and a mechanic. She had taken care of a score of people, and a large part of the automail business involves physical therapy so that people can learn how to use their new limbs. This means that Winry works a lot with people, and a lot with some people who may not be the happiest or most patient of people. It has in turn given her a strong amount of understanding and patience of her own.
What probably stands out the most about Winry, however, is her fortitude. She has seen her fare share of troubles, but she manages to keep a cool head throughout them and is almost always ready to offer a smile.
Oh. It should probably be noted that she is pretty good with a wrench. So if she is angry, and picks one up, it is best if you duck. Better yet, run far away.
When it comes down to it, though, Winry isn't a trained fighter. She is stronger than she looks, because of all her work with automail, but she would do poorly against another person who has had more experience than her. Not simply because she would be outdone is just overall physical fitness and experience, but it would take a lot to bring Winry to the point where she would have to seriously hurt someone. An animal or monster might be different, but another person? That'd be difficult. Her parents were killed saving the lives of others, and so she would consider it the gravest sign of disrespect if she ever did something like that, and the thing Winry fears the most is putting to shame the two people who mean the most to her. This, however, doesn't mean she would never do it.
The fact that she forms attachments so quickly can also be considered a weakness to some degree. Winry tries to find the best in everyone, and sometimes she gives people who more chances and doubt than they deserve. Part of it is due to a somewhat naïve desire to believe that there is good in everyone, so that she can try and understand why some of the things back in Amestris are the way they are.
