History
Izumi Curtis learned the skills of alchemy herself, accidently training in the mountains of Briggs for a month when she believed it would help. Soon after, she married and tried to have a child, but when she finally became pregnant she lost her son in childbirth. Stricken with grief, she attempted human transmutation to bring her baby back, but instead lost most of her internal organs, being cursed with a body that could no longer bear children.

Some time later, she reluctantly took on the Elric brothers as apprentices, and later participated in Roy Mustang's coup in order to stop the plans of the Dwarf in the Flask.

Alchemy
Izumi is a master alchemist, and because she saw the portal of truth, she does not require a transmutation circle to transmute anything, though she must still obey the law of equivalent exchange.

Physical Strength
Despite missing many organs and being prone to coughing up lots of blood at inopportune moments, Izumi excelled in hand to hand combat. She was able to effortlessly defeat the Elric Brothers, young and old, and could fight while reading and reciting a book with one hand. During her training in Briggs, she fought against many wild animals (bringing a bear carcass home as a souvineir) and Briggs soldiers, and later fought against undying mannequin soldiers with ease.

Feats

 * Stopped a flood with one transmutation, building a dam from the ground
 * Survived the snowy mountains of Briggs for a month, scavenging for shelter and food
 * Constructed a massive fist out of stone, and then a passageway through it

Flaws

 * Missing organs hampered her physical health greatly
 * Remedied by Hoenheim, who rearranged her remaining organs to better control blood flow
 * Avoids alchemy when she can, believing humankind should not be overly reliant on it
