Biography

Dante was a female human who was born around 400 years ago where she learnt the art of alchemy. At some point, she also encountered a man called Hohehim who became her lover. At some point, they had a son but the boy died from mercury poisoning at a young age. In grief, Hohenheim attempted to bring him back to life through transmutation but created the Homonculi Envy. In their time together, Dante and Hohenheim created the first Philosopher's Stone that was created from those condemned as witches or those dying from plague with these subjects used as a human sacrifice. During the transmutation, Hohenheim was nearly killed but Dante saved him by attaching his soul to the body of another man and as a result the two lovers discovered the secrets to 'eternal' life. Thus, through such means, they lived near immortal existences by constantly transferring their souls into a new younger body with the power of the Philosopher's Stone. It was through this means that Dante managed to survive across the centuries and escape death. Their actions also led to the destruction of two ancient cities with one being where Amestris resided and the other being a fabled lost city in the east that was Hohenheim's home. Their actions were not known to others and it was instead believed that both cities mysteriously vanished overnight. In reality, the people were used as ingredients for the Philosopher's Stone with the buildings being pulled underground as a result of alchemy. At some point, Hohenheim left Dante and twenty years ago he met Trisha Elric where he fell in love with her.

Many years ago, she met Izumi Curtis where she became Dante's apprentice and through her she learnt everything she knew about alchemy. In time, she became known as a world renowned pharmacist and it was this element that led to her being consulted by Izumi Curtis for medicine due to her medical condition. At some point, Vera entered into the service of Dante and began to learn from her as an apprentice in the hope of becoming a fully trained alchemist.

Izumi Curtis sent Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric to the home of Dante in order to get much needed medicine along with learning more about the Homunculi.

Overview

Personality and attributes

When asked, she at one claimed that she became an alchemist for a number of reasons with the most important being to help people. She stated that humans needed alchemy more than they knew and that it could provide valuable relief for those that need it. As such, officially told others that she enjoyed making people happy and rewarding them for their hard efforts in life. Dante stated that she provided a balance with this ultimately being about equivalency. Dante felt that in the real world the blaze of conflict was fed by malice and it consumed all that came into contact with it. She felt that such blazes smouldered until people put an end to all the fighting.

She stated that she knew Hohenheim of light very well.
