10 Most Badass Female Characters From Anime
3. Major General Olivier Mera Armstrong
When it comes anime women, or any kind of being you don’t mess with, General Armstrong will always be high up on the list. A dauntless military commander, a ferociously strong fighter, and a personality that does not take you-know-what from anyone, Olivier is badassery personified.
Born into the prestigious and influential Armstrong family, Olivier was always placed with a high expectations tag. Unlike most others, she took that tag and tore it up in the face of anyone who would doubt her.
Despite not being an alchemist herself, her sheer strength and physical prowess helped propel her up the military ranks. Eventually, she was put in charge of defending Amestris’s border with Drachma.
As the commanding officer of the Briggs fortress, not even a fly is able to cross the border without the General’s permission.
Her crowning moments come during the war against the Homunculi. She, along with Roy Mustang, form the vanguard of the resistance forces, launching a pre-emptive strike government posts in the capital and leaving the Elric brothers and their group free to deal the decisive blow.
