In the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, Riza Hawkeye, as a calm and composed sniper with a will of steel, perfectly embodies the characteristics of her MBTI type, ISTJ (Logistician). ISTJs are characterized as “fact-based, logical, and responsible,” which is directly linked to her behavior patterns, especially her absolute loyalty to Colonel Mustang and her flawless professionalism in carrying out orders. She is not swayed by emotions and prioritizes the established norms and the accomplishment of her mission. Her role in the story is that of Mustang’s most trusted aide and the “shield and spear” that physically protects his ideals and safety. She plays the role of a cornerstone that supports the stability of the organization from behind the scenes with her calm judgment and outstanding sniping skills. Her relationship with Mustang is a strict master-servant relationship that does not involve personal feelings, but she deeply understands his vision and dedicates herself to its realization, which shows the strong commitment peculiar to ISTJs. Compared to other characters, especially those with strong emotional elements, her thorough realism and discipline stand out. Her charm lies in her unwavering loyalty and her professional attitude of maintaining her composure in any situation, and her “readiness to point her gun” shows the culmination of the sense of duty that ISTJs have. Her existence symbolizes the importance of order and reliability in a chaotic world.
