Name: Rae Anderson
DOB: March 4, 1899
Height: 4’10” (at age 15) (growth stops at age 16)
Weight: 109 lbs
Military Rank: State Alchemist; known as the Wind Alchemist (certified at age 15)
Specialties/talents: Rae’s main specialty is her alchemy. By wearing a ring with a transmutation circle on it, she has the ability to control surrounding air currents and force gusts of wind at her opponents. Though not an alchemic prodigy like the Fullmetal Alchemist, she’s quite a master in self-defense.
Hobbies:
1.) Music- Since birth, Rae was deeply fascinated by musical instruments. She grew up playing the piano and guitar, as they were her favorite. At the age of 8, she began writing and creating her own music.
2.) Alchemy- Because her father was a state alchemist in the military; Rae grew up surrounded by alchemy and science. Although she didn’t start performing alchemy until she was 10 years old, she learned what she could from her father’s research. (her father was a scientist)
Personality: Rae has a side to her that she locks away from the world, a side that knows the truth to many things and memories of her past. She tries to hide it by acting calm, collected, and positive. She’s the kind of person to cheer up her friends when they are down and try hard to help them in any way she can. Around the military, she is bold, outgoing, and not afraid to teach Roy Mustang’s “loyal soldiers” a lesson or two. When in a dangerous situation, Rae is known to even risk her life for the sake of her friends and family.
Appearance: It is easy to see that Rae is a small girl. Like mentioned above, she is around 4’10” in height and weights about 109 lbs. Rae is slightly taller than Edward Elric at the age of 15, but her growth comes to a halt when she’s 16. Ed then surpasses her.
As for physical features, Rae has brown hair and blue-green eyes. Her main outfit consists of a black, off-the-shoulder sweater, faded jean shorts, a leather short-wasted coat, and knee length boots. (For a better description, visit my DA gallery.)
Family:
1.) Ben Anderson- Known as the Catalyst Alchemist, Rae’s father was one of the military’s prized scientists. He worked along side Tim Marcoh and assisted him in secretly creating Red Stones for the Ishbalan Rebellion. Before the war, Ben was a sweet, talkative man. He was always encouraging his kids to put effort into the things they loved the most. Since he often brought Rae to Central Headquarters with him, Rae was introduced to many military men at a young age and got to know them well.
When Ben returned from the war, he changed drastically. He became a man of few words and spent most of his days in his lab. His blue-green eyes lost their color, and his once clean, brown hair became greasy and grew to a length that covered his eyes. The man simply didn’t take care of himself.
2.) Karen Anderson- Karen is Rae’s deceased mother. She passed away shortly after giving birth to Rae, who was her third child. She was a short, frail woman with blonde hair and baby-blue eyes.
3.) Todd Anderson (5 years older than Rae)- Being the oldest child in the family, Todd often felt in charge of his siblings when Ben was away. Like his father, he had brown hair and blue-green eyes. Their faces looked similar, but their personalities were quite different. Unlike Rae and their father, he despised alchemy. He believed it was the reason their father changed.
4.) Maylin Anderson (2 years older than Rae)- May is Rae’s older sister. Like her mother, she had blonde hair and blue eyes.
5.) Sam- Sam is Rae’s husky. He was a present given to her on her 6th birthday.
6.) Maes and Gracia Hughes- Rae and her siblings moved in with their aunt Gracia (before she was married to Maes) when their father left for the war in Ishbal. They met Maes after the war, and Todd and Rae lived with him and Gracia after their father and sister died. It took some time before Rae was use to Maes. However, their relationship eventually grows to a point where Maes becomes more like a father figure than an uncle.
Friends: (other than the Elric Brothers)
1.) Lilly Parker (same age as Rae)- Lilly is Rae’s peppy girl friend. The two met when they were 8 years old and became close friends. They both share an interest in music and write songs together. Lilly is a cheerful, happy-go-lucky girl with orange shoulder length hair and green eyes.
2.) Derrick Robinson (2 years older than Rae)- Rae met Derrick when she was 5 years old, and he was her closest friend throughout her childhood. He has a troubled past, for his mother was never home and his father was a drunk. Because of this, he too became an alcoholic. (after he became a soldier in the military) It wasn’t long after he joined the military that Rae felt more like a babysitter to him than a friend. Their relationship is a good example of one of the many things Rae kept to herself. She regrets a lot of things things he made her do.
Storyline:
Age 8: Rae lived an average life until her father returned from the war. She was eight years old at the time and didn’t understand why Ben was acting the way he was. Because Todd believed it was best to keep Maylin and Rae away from their father, he often took them to visit Gracia.
At that age, Rae practiced playing the guitar a lot. She thought her improvement would snap her father into reality, so she tried her best to get his attention, to impress him. She missed his voice, his encouragement, and even more his smile. But the father she missed was gone, and he never came back.
Age 9: At the age of nine, Rae’s life changed dramatically. While off grocery shopping with Todd, their house caught on fire and resulted in the death of their father and sister. About a week later, Rae and Todd went to the lab their father worked at and gathered his belongings/research. (the reason for the fire is unknown)
Age 10: Rae started to practice alchemy a year later. Her goal was to become a state alchemist in the future, though she never imagined she was going to be certified at the age of 15. Since she kept her father’s researched in a box in her closet, she finally took the time to read it and discovered information on the red stones her father and Tim Marcoh created.
Age 11: Rae met the Elric Brothers about a month before her 12th birthday. Ed and Rae had a very unpleasant meeting, for Rae attacked him with a broom the day of his birthday. ( Rae first saw Ed when she met up with Maes at the train station in episode 5, but didn't offically meet him until episode 6) Despite of that, the two had to momentarily forget about their feud and asist Gracia when she gave birth.
Age 12-14: Since the Elrics left town after the state exam, the three didn’t meet up for three years. Meanwhile, Rae spent her time practicing alchemy with a man named Curtis Wellington. He became her master and taught her alchemy and martial arts.
Age 15: Rae unexpectedly became a state alchemist at this age. Because her father was one of the military’s prized state alchemists and scientists, the military made Rae an exception and allowed her to take the state alchemy exam. Rae was informed that the military was interested in seeing if Ben’s talents passed down on her, but she found that hard to believe. Nonetheless, Rae took the exam and surprisingly passed. Since the military found her wind alchemy unique, they entitled her with the name "Wind". (Note: In my story, the state exam was postponed to the month of April, which allows Rae to be 15 when she was certified. Originally, the exam was in February when Ed took it.)
It was later that year when Rae finally met up with the Elrics Brothers. (in episode 13) This is where my fanfic begins. In time, the three become inseparable friends.
