Character Description: Winry Rockbell
Winry Rockbell is perhaps the closest thing the two Elric brothers have to family back in their hometown of Risembool. She's grown up in and now lives for the family business: automail. She learned the business from her grandmother. Tragically, she's the only family left. Both her parents were killed when they went to Ishbahl to care for people during the rebellion there.
She's developed the personality of this world's equivalent of a gearhead--a machine junkie. She simply can't resist anything mechanical: be it a State Alchemist watch or the latest tools or automail parts. She can literally go as gaga for a shiny new tool as a normal woman would for the latest jewelry (play clip
). But deep down, she's genuinely sympathetic and somewhat concerned for Ed and Al's headstrong quest for the Philosopher's Stone. Still, she won't stop them and will even do what she can to help. Winry has designed all of Ed's automail limbs to this point, and she continues to repair and upgrade them when necessary. But in kind, Ed never criticizes the quality of Winry's work (except perhaps in jest).
Originally staying in Risembool, even when Ed returned home for repairs, she ends up going to Central because she forgot a critical part for Ed's new arm. A series of circumstances then causes Winry to travel together with the Elrics from episode 25 onward.

Character Description: Winry Rockbell
Winry loves mechanics, especially automail. She is Ed's automail mechanic and a close childhood friend of the brothers. Winry cares deeply about both of them, but has a tough side that is usually unleashed on Ed and sometimes Alphonse. The mechanic is rather prone to throwing and hitting people she is angry at with wrenches. She is a prodigy in her way, being a talented automail mechanic at only 15 years old. Winry is learning the trade from her grandmother, another gifted mechanic, Pinako Rockbell. Winry also loves to take things apart and put them back together. As a side note, she has a dog named Den.

I personally think its a little unrealistic that shes 5'4" and 125 pounds seeing as I'm three inches shorter than her and I weigh the same but I look smaller then her. I'm not a stick or anything, I'm actually kinda bulky but thats because i've got muscle, and so does she. Just as an opinion it seems like she would just weigh more is all. ... show more »

I just watched the movie and got abit mad that Winry only hugged Ed...xD it would have been nice for them to kiss before it all ended, Though it probably won't go since FMA seems to be on the side of fight scenes and butt kicking action. It also ticks me off with Noa and Rose as competition...but in the chibi party i'm happy Winry stuck up for herself and got ticked at Ed for being close to Noa in the movie xD ... show more »

The manga version of Winry is one of the best female characters in ALL of manga. She's my second fave next to Inuyasha's Kagome. I really dig Ed's suppressed feelings for her, and best of all, I can see why he's so fond of her. She's smart, courageous, self-sacrificing, tough-minded yet feminine. She also isn't nearly as spastic as some manga females. I just read book 18 of the manga, and she's spectacular in it, boldly risking herself to save her friends. Ed's great in it too - his possessiveness and smothered jealousy are well-played . I love the back-and-forth storyline involving Ed and Winry, yet it's great that it's not overdone. It's still funny and interesting without being cloying and mushy. It's going to be fun to see how the Ed/Winry attraction all works out. ... show more »
