Character Description: Dante
Dante is the creator of most of the homunculi, and, in my opinion, isn't really a major person in the series. She appears to be a nice person on the outside, but is actually a horrible person.
Dante and Hohenheim (Hohenheim is Ed and Al's father) used the Philosopher's Stone to switch bodies with other people, thinking they could be with each other and live forever. Then Hohenheim falls in love with Trisha, who is Ed and Al's mother.
Because of this, Dante feels a grudge against Ed and Al. She feels as if it's their fault that Hohenheim left her.
She calls Envy Ed and Al's brother because their father (Hohenheim) created Envy hundreds of years ago. Envy also resembles Hohenheim just as Ed and Al do.
Dante's soul, along with Hohenheim's, begin to rot and fade away. Hohenheim tries to tell her this but she refuses to believe it. Before her elderly body gets killed, she is able to transfer her soul into Lyra's body.
She can open "The Gate" by using alchemy with Rose's newborn baby. When Wrath is behaving badly and not listening, Dante will put Wrath into The Gate. After she had done this once, every time Dante summons The Gate Wrath freaks out and starts hugging Sloth, who Wrath thinks is his mother, and won't let go of her.
Dante realizes Alphonse is the Philosopher's Stone and she encloses him in a seal. If any transmutations occur by him, no one knows what will happen. Ed comes out of the gate and starts kicking some serious butt and eventually get everything back to normal.
Overall, Dante is, put simply, is a very evil person.

Did you say teenager? She is hundreds of years passed teenager. How is she teenage? She is still a bitter old woman who is holding a grudge against innocent children. I mean, come on, she blames them for Hohenheim leaving her for another woman when they weren't even born at the time.
I think she is pathetic and ended up rotten and evil. ... show more »

thats not true, i think teenage like villains are cooler, and may be taken more seroiusly, moreso than a senieor citizen, yet however, i see where your coming from, but dante's soul would've passed the world of living had she not reattached it to lyra who also is hot. yet another imposing factor.

This character would've been infinitely more interesting had she remained the old woman. Seriously, did anime need yet another bland, unimposing, teenage-looking villain? Most of the "young" characters have virtually no interesting designs whatsoever (but this is true of most anime, sadly).
