A Great Wall towered over the beautiful Amestrian landscape. It was huge, a mammoth display of the country's indomitable spirit and might.
This was the Northern Wall of Briggs.
And she was it's soldier.
Sleek, elegant, fearless, a great warrior, as were all women in the land of Amestris. This was Olivier Mira Armstrong.
In keeping with her lineage as a natural-born Amestrian and scion of the long-standing Armstrong bloodline, Olivier bears the trademark family traits of blue eyes with long eyelashes and her waist-length blond hair is noticeably curled at the ends despite being otherwise relatively straight. Her lips are clearly defined and depicted as being rather full. Though slender, Olivier also sports a rather muscular build, which gives off a clear air of regality and command.
Olivier Mira Armstrong walked around her post. Suddenly, a bird of prey hit the back of her head ...
"Ah!" Olivier said.
The hawk let out a call. Olivier walked over to the edge of the wall. A hook came flying up, followed by many more.
Olivier ran back to her post. "We're under attack! Light the signal!"
The door opened, revealing the Homunculi. Olivier climbed up the ladder.
Olivier lit the signal with a torch, while staring at Father; other signals went on all the way along the Great Wall. "Now all of Amestris knows you're here."
Father picked up a flag and toasted it in the signal fire. "Perfect."

The Amestrian General Rei Kou walked into the Emperor's chamber and bowed.
Rei had long auburn hair kept back in a high ponytail with green beads. She had almond shaped bright green eyes. Her skin was the color of caramel, and her nose was dotted with adorable freckles. She was toned with muscles, her body a powerful weapon for Amestris.
Rei had already established herself in the war with Ishbal as the Elusive Fox. It was said that none could cross her in combat and remain sane.
"Your Majesty, the Homunculi have crossed our Northern Border." Rei said.
"Impossible! No one can get through the Great Wall!" Riza was silenced with a raised hand from Emperor Roy Mustang.
"Father is leading them. We'll set up defenses around your palace immediately." Rei said.
"No!" Roy stood up. "Send your troops to protect my people! Riza!"
"Yes, your Highness." Riza said.
"Deliver conscription notices throughout all the provinces. Call up reserves, and as many new recruits as possible." Roy said.
"Forgive me, your Majesty, but I believe my troops can stop him." Rei said.
"I won't take any chances, General. A single grain of rice can tip the scale; one woman may be the difference between victory and defeat." Roy said.
