[/size][/b]Nymeria was but a few days old when she was left upon the doorstep of the Valentine home, the red eyes of the child alerted them to her Ishvalan blood but decided to hide this from their military superiors to protect her. The Valentines were very close to the Armstrong family and the young/seemingly blind Nymeria also grew close to them, especially Alex and Olivier. Alex was protective of her and Olivier encouraged her to be strong.
The sweet child was devastated when her adopted parents were relocated to Ishval after violence broke out once more, they never returned and Nymeria was forced to raise herself with only her very limited sight, you see she’d been keeping a secret from her family. She wasn’t entirely blind, she could see through movement, when things move she can see them which is what allowed her to learn hand to hand combat. A friend of her adopted parents taught her to use a gun too though she didn’t like it very much.
By the age of sixteen she left for Xing, it had always been her dream to see the country and left without word to anyone. While she was there she learnt to use her sight to its full potential, she furthered her study of martial arts and even learnt alkahestry, she had a natural aptitude for it and when she returned to Amestris she decided to take up the study of Alchemy. Nymeria discovered that many things had changed in her five years away, war has broken out and the life she’d once known was gone.
Alex and Olivier were gone and her path was no longer clear, she joined the military at the end of the Ishaval Extermination and was put to work in Intelligence, after all who would hide things around a blind woman? It was at this time that she met Hughes who was very quick to notice that she wasn’t as blind as most people thought. Nymeria trusted him and when he told her that she should take the state alchemist exams, she listened and did so, surprising most.
She passed with ease, someone was kind enough to read her the questions for the written part and the rest was a breeze, her combined alchemy and alkahestry impressed whose judging her and she soon found herself being given her silver pocket watch. The Fuhrer gave her the title of ‘The Blind Strike Alchemist’ she soon began her research but was sent to Fort Briggs to avoid the attacks the alchemist killer. While there she met Miles who confused her more than any man she'd ever known but that only made her want to know him more. Nymeria was there for several months before returning Central for the Funeral of Hughes, a few tears left the blind woman’s eyes but she turned her heart to steel determined to find the killer of her beloved friend, even if it means getting her hands dirty.
