メイ・チャン
from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Origin
The seventeenth princess of Xing (the lowest ranked house), who like Ling Yao, travels west searching for the Philosopher's Stone so she can become the empress and secure the future of her family. She travels along with her pet mini-panda, Xiao Mei. Adept at Xing's style of alchemy, called Alchahastry, she use throwing knives to arrange transmutation circles in order to manipulate targets at long range. A ardent fan of Edward Elric because of the way he helps people with alchemy, her image of him is quickly shattered when she sees him in person. Not knowing the history of the conflict between Scar and Edward, Mei helps Scar escape from the Emestrian military when the tide of battle turns against him, and begins traveling with him afterwards. Though she becomes disillusioned with Edward soon after meeting him, she quickly becomes enamored with Alphonse instead.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
"In order for something to be obtained, something of equal value must be lost." Alchemy is bound by this Law of Equivalent Exchange—something the young brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric only realize after attempting human transmutation: the one forbidden act of alchemy. They pay a terrible price for their transgression—Edward loses his left leg, Alphonse his physical body. It is only by the desperate sacrifice of Edward's right arm that he is able to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. Devastated and alone, it is the hope that they would both eventually return to their original bodies that gives Edward the inspiration to obtain metal limbs called "automail" and become a state alchemist, the Fullmetal Alchemist. Three years of searching later, the brothers seek the Philosopher's Stone, a mythical relic that allows an alchemist to overcome the Law of Equivalent Exchange. Even with military allies Colonel Roy Mustang, Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, and Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes on their side, the brothers find themselves caught up in a nationwide conspiracy that leads them not only to the true nature of the elusive Philosopher's Stone, but their country's murky history as well. In between finding a serial killer and racing against time, Edward and Alphonse must ask themselves if what they are doing will make them human again... or take away their humanity.
