  • Complete Monster: Dante is as vile as her canon counterpart. Posing as a kindly old psychologist, Dante is secretly a centuries-old alchemist who has been prolonging her own life by alchemically transferring her soul into the bodies of young female patients. In order to do this Dante admits patients with strong alchemic power—usually children and teenagers—and drains their power in a painful and lethal process. Two of her past victims were her own alchemy student Izumi Curtis, who fell terminally ill, and Izumi's son, Wrath, who eventually went catatonic. When Roy Mustang falls ill in the midst of an escape attempt and has to be left behind, Dante lures Edward, Alphonse, Riza and Havoc into a trap when they come to rescue him, imprisoning them in a transmutation circle that painfully extracts Edward's alchemy and slowly kills his friends and brother. In one last attempt to break Edward's spirit, Dante dresses the homunculus Sloth up as Edward's dead mother, tormenting him with his guilt and trauma over having failed to bring her back to life.
  • Nightmare Fuel: After Kimblee blows him up, we get the lovely image of Envy's mangled remains crawling up to Edward and screaming "His face! HIS FACE!" at him.
