The commanding personality of Major General Armstrong shines through this cosplay
The characterization of the talented cosplayer seems taken straight from the show
Olivier is a stoic and demanding soldier who has worked hard and tirelessly to rise through the ranks of the Amestris army. Unlike her brother, who is an eccentric and friendly individual, she is cold and focused, never losing sight of her goals and responsibilities. Despite this, she is a genuinely caring individual who sees her subordinates as family members that she would protect at any cost. Despite her high rank, Olivier isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty in combat, as proven by her incredible and memorable fight against Sloth.
Leeloo_cos’ depiction of this character is exceptionally accurate to that of the main general seen in the show. Her stern look and confident pose perfectly conveyed the imposing nature of Olivier. In the video, the commanding nature of this strong woman radiates from the cosplayer, who did an amazing job in the character of Full metal alchemists beloved and intriguing Major General Armstrong.
