Winry Rockbell is a character from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series and its adaptations. Created by Hiromu Arakawa, she is a 15-16 year old mechanic. Winry often hangs out with the Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse, who happen to be her childhood friends. Her specialty lies in repairing mechanical prostheses known as automail, and she takes care of Ed’s replacement arm and leg. Interestingly, the decision to introduce Winry early on in the series was driven by the need for more female characters. Some of her characteristics are actually inspired by Arakawa’s own life experiences.
In the first anime adaptation, Winry’s Japanese voice is provided by Megumi Toyoguchi, while Caitlin Glass lends her voice to the English version. In the second anime adaptation, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Winry is voiced by Megumi Takamoto in Japanese, with Glass returning to voice her in English.
