Joice. That is all.
20. Power
She wants power. Nothing more, nothing less.
The power to kill, the power to destroy. Guns are wonderful weapons, no doubt, but they aren't perfect. Neither are swords, nor knives, nor bombs. No.
The only perfect weapon is alchemy.
Joice has seen its devastating power time and time again. It destroyed Ishval, and it will destroy Liore, once the state alchemists are sent there. She looks forward to that day, because she'll be watching from the shadows, assassinating anyone the alchemists miss.
She wants to control alchemy.
It's difficult for her, though. She's seen people do it time and time again. She's researched so many different kinds. But she just can't seem to get past the basics. Her alchemy is weak, at best.
She admires Kimblee, because his is powerful, and he can kill.
