Finally realizing Dante's true intentions were never to make the Homunculi human, Lust defected from the Homunculi. Lust was taken to Dante, who gave her a chance to redeem herself by helping Wrath take out Edward while Sloth abducted Al. But her involvement was reckless, and allowing the Elrics' escape–a locket containing strands of hair from the woman she "was" prevented her from action–raised doubts about her loyalty. While ruthless throughout most of the series, she changes near the end during the Lior incident as she begins to recover some memories of her life as a human, and she softens particularly towards Scar and the Elrics. Lust pinned to the wall after betraying her fellow Homunculi. She was not the first Homunculus to bear the name of Lust, and is the third youngest Homunculus, only Wrath and Sloth are younger. After he was cast out from Ishvalan society as a heretic, Envy visited the wretched creature and fed it red stones, giving her human shape, and her new name. Lust was created by Scar's brother, when he attempted to use alchemy to bring his lover back from the dead. She also tends to be more involved with the intrigue side of various conspiracies.

Once baited, the alchemists are molded into following whatever path that best suits Lust and the other Homunculi's designs. She is often directly involved in encouraging humans to seek out the Philosopher's Stone, using their desire for the stone to her advantage. Even then, she only introduces herself intending to kill Edward immediately after. Lust doesn't introduce herself or Gluttony by name to Edward until they met face to face again in Lior. While she was always in the background, using those like Cornello or Mugear, Lust only revealed herself to the Elrics years later during the events of the 5th Laboratory, where she attempted to convince Ed into creating a true Philosopher's Stone. Lust claims to have first observed the Elrics while she was evaluating the potential of the alchemist Majhal to create a Philosopher's Stone.

The woman who would become Lust, in the arms of her lover, Scar's brother. During her last moments before being killed by Wrath, Lust wonders where do homunculi like herself go when they die, while admitting that her reason for wanting to become Human was to experience "death". While her personality is mostly similar to her manga counterpart, this incarnation of Lust has a singular desire to become Human, which was revealed in the later half the series.īecause of this aforementioned desire, she is the second homunculus to rebel against Dante and has assisted Edward Elric if he can fulfill her promise.
