Personality

1st Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye is everything that a ranking officer of the Amestrian military should be. She is cool and always collected, regardless of whether she is confronting a hardened enemy or the stubborn Colonel Mustang. Lieutenant Hawkeye supports Mustang’s goals and actions, and is his closest ally and bodyguard. When it comes to her duties to Mustang, the military, and the country Amestris, she takes her role very seriously, and doesn’t bother to waste time on trivial things. She is all business, all the time, and she is quite capable of separating work from her personal life. Rarely do we see her as being anything other than what she is when at work, a first lieutenant.

However, Riza does contain a soft spot that is contrary to her officer persona. She has affection for her dog, Black Hayate, and in some respects, she does care for the brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric. When she is around Hayate and the Elrics, Riza acts like a mixture between a mother and an older sister. But the person whom she cares for most is none other than Colonel Roy Mustang. She is unrelentingly loyal to him, and would do anything for him, even if it meant her death.

In summary, Riza Hawkeye keeps her work life and her personal one completely separate. She is driven by her duties and her loyalties, and anyone who gets in between those is at the risk of being confronted with her occasionally scathing annoyance and her accurate sniper’s aim. But to those whom she cares for, she isn’t afraid to show a kind-hearted warmth negating her stern expression and sharp tongue.

History

Riza Hawkeye’s history contains both tragedies and triumphs. Her mother presumably died when she was young, leaving her to grow up with only her father. From what is known about him, he was an alchemy teacher, and by a twist of fate, was Roy Mustang’s teacher. When Riza’s father learned of Roy’s reason for wanting to learn alchemy, he agreed to pass onto Roy the greatest and most powerful alchemy that he knew, as long as he would use it for purposes of good and not evil.

But before he could elaborate, Riza’s father, who was probably sick and not going to live much longer, was only able to tell Roy that he had passed all of his secrets to his daughter Riza. His last request was that Roy look after her. Later on, it is revealed that these secrets were tattooed onto Riza’s back.

Time went on, and Roy became involved in stopping the Ishbal Rebellion, along with his friend Maes Hughes. The two men took a moment to talk about their perspectives on the war, when an Ishbalan sniper ambushed them. They would have been killed or injured, if not for the intervention of an unnamed sniper, who was eventually revealed to be Riza Hawkeye. After the war, Riza became part of the Amestris military, mainly because of her new loyalty to Roy Mustang. She became his ally, confidante, and protector.

Since then, Riza followed Roy on the majority of his campaigns and helped support him in his efforts to achieve his goals. Again and again, their closeness was demonstrated through all sorts of experiences, but the penultimate event was following the death of Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes. Riza was there with Roy during the funeral and afterwards, which demonstrated how deeply rooted her loyalty and love (which she would never admit to him) ran.

In the aftermath of Hughes’ death, although the manga and anime doesn’t mention this clearly, it can be assumed that Roy realized the need to keep his remaining allies close, and therefore, it can be inferred that the bond between Roy and Riza only strengthened.
