I'm actually not a real big fan of FMA... I watched the show and liked it but it's not even in my favorites list or anything so I'm not really sure why I made an OC for it. XD

But I made this picture several years ago so I decided to finally color it.
I'll also eventually get around to cleaning up her background story.... (again, I created this character ages ago so I know her story isn't anywhere near perfect).
Lastly, as I said, I'm not a big FMA fan so if there's any errors in the her story in relation to the FMA world feel free to tell me so I can fix it. XD

------------- Background Story ---------------

Icelus was raised by her single mother, Julianna Whitaker, who was also their town’s only doctor. Her father on the other hand had been a State Alchemist who worked on Fort Briggs. He had passed through their town while on his way to Central City, but was stuck there for a few nights due to a sudden storm. And during his short stay he had a love affair with Julianna (even though he was actually married at the time) and promised to return as soon as he could. However, he never did and Julianna was heartbroken.

Icelus’s childhood was a relative easy one, she was loner by choice and had few friends (also by choice) but she was a generally happy child. But of course her life wasn’t perfect: though she was always shown great love by her mother, she also grew up hearing and feeling her mother’s hatred and disgust towards alchemy (and was herself forbidden to use it). And overtime Julianna’s depression took a toll on her body, ending her life before Icelus turned 10. From that point on Icelus was raised by the town mayor, who hired Icelus a teacher so she could finally learn alchemy.

But even though she was finally able to learn alchemy, Icelus never forgot the pain it had caused her mother. So she promised herself she’d only learn it so she could one day join the State Alchemists, and in order to make her father pay for her mother’s suffering.

- The reason Icelus's father never returned is because he passed away (due to an illness), she only discovers this however after joining the State Alchemists.
- Icelus lost sight in one of her eyes as a child. She went fishing with a few friends and a hook got stuck in her eye.
- Icelus develops a crush on Alphonse, though once she discovers his actual age she sorta lets that go.
(I don't actually envision her with one >3>)

------------- END background story ----------------

When I first created Icelus her story was (by my opinion anyways) a lot more dramatic.
Here are some of the things I took out:

1. Originally, Icelus was the one who killed her mother. When out hiking with Julianna, Icelus attempted to use alchemy, which accidentally set off an avalanche that caught both of them in it. Icelus managed to dig herself out but her mother was lost.

2. Icelus's childhood was a harder one originally. In the original version, I made it so the village Icelus grew up in was a very secluded one, resulting in the people who live there having very narrow views and being very close minded. Because of this many people saw Icelus as a freak: for being able to use alchemy and for being a bastard child of an already married man.

3. Icelus originally lost her eye sight because a bully had thrown a rock at her as a child. The rock hit her in the eye, thus causing her blindness.

4. In her original story the town's major never hired Icelus a teacher, rather she had taught herself as much as she could. When she first tells the major she wants to leave to join the State Alchemists he tells her she isn't allowed, so she runs away.

5. Icelus was originally 16

And I think that's all I changed >3>
I just found all those things unnecessary and overly dramatic. The main point in her story is suppose to be how she grew up hating and blaming her father for everything that went wrong in her life. So she lived her whole life for revenge. However, when she can finally get her revenge she finds out her father never meant to leave them, it's just that he died before he could.
