Lust

Lust, the "Ultimate Spear," appears as the first homunculus in the series as a shapely woman who primarily works in the shadows, acts as envoy for her leader in both iterations, and encourages alchemists down her desired path. She can extend her fingers to great lengths, which are capable of cutting through virtually any substance. In the manga, after leading an effort to capture Barry the Chopper, her plans backfire when Roy Mustang infiltrates the homunculi's secret lair.Though she is able to severely wound Mustang, he sears his wounds shut, and then repeatedly blasts Lust with flames, ultimately killing her after depleting the power of her Philosopher's Stone.

In the first anime, Lust was created when Scar's brother tried to revive his deceased lover. Though originally largely the same as her manga counterpart, Lust, as the series progresses, begins to develop a strong desire to regain her humanity. This ultimately leads to her defection from the homunculi, and to her aiding Edward Elric if he promises to help make her human. Wrath eventually catches up to Lust and Edward, and as he begins to fight Ed, Lust provides her support. Later, Wrath then paralyzes her, using a locket filled with the hair from her original form, and kills her. Yūko Satō voices her in Japanese, and Laura Bailey in English. Kikuko Inoue voices her in Japanese in the new series.
