Riza was already at least in her late teens, but she was pulled out of the military academy early and drafted in as sniper for the war because her aiming skills were that good.

Child Soldier: Not quite, but the narrative treats her involvement in Ishval in this fashion.

It's also noted that Mustang, when playing chess, will never sacrifice his queen if he can help it. The queen is the most powerful piece, the one who stands closest to the king, and the one who can do the most damage.

Chess Motifs: She is the queen in Mustang's chess-themed unit.

She would not even defend herself and try to tell Alphonse to save himself (while he was shielding her from Lust.)

She also becomes absolutely heartbroken when she thinks Roy was killed by Lust.

Bodyguarding a Badass: It's a hard job but someone's got to do it.

Bluff the Imposter: When Envy tries to trick her by disguising himself as Mustang, she calls his bluff by claiming that the two are on a First-Name Basis when alone it's a lie, but Envy still falls for the trap.

Berserker Tears: After she is led to believe that Lust killed Mustang.

It's still thanks to her efforts that he doesn't fall for those traps too. She's definitely his Living Emotional Crutch and Morality Chain, to the point this gets used against Roy over and over again throughout the series. Roy is perfectly aware of this, and wants to do his best for her too in case of going off the deep end and losing the sight of his dreams, he asks her to kill him. She's the one who entrusts the secrets of Flame Alchemy to him, thus making him the World's Best Warrior and sticks by his side for every step of his way until he reaches his goals.

Behind Every Great Man: Roy wouldn't be the man he is as Flame Alchemist without her.

Though the couple part is only implied in-series.

Battle Couple: Her and Roy, complete with code names and Back-to-Back Badasses.Badass Normal: No alchemy, but her guns still leave their mark on alchemists and homunculi alike.She discusses this when recounting her experience at Ishval, saying that both alchemists and sharpshooters bear an especially heavy sin (and burden if they try to atone) since they know that every time they snap their fingers or pull the trigger, they are responsible for taking someone's life, as opposed to average soldiers who are unaware of how much blood they themselves spilled. The Atoner: For the same reason as Roy.

Animal Motifs: Arakawa said she based her design around a hawk her bangs emulate a wing and the rest of her hair is pulled up to look like a tail.

Barry the Chopper is also attracted to her.

Played for Laughs immediately beforehand in the same omake, when all of Arakawa's assistants try to ask her what Hawkeye's measurements are, leading to a ludicrously heated argument about fanservice that culminates in Hawkeye shooting all of them. Arakawa stated in an omake that Hawkeye's military training has given her a slightly more muscular build than normal, specifically with regards to her broad shoulders. She may not be a Homunculus killer, but that doesn't make her any less useful and competent. She's an expert sniper, having saved both Hughes and Mustang's life during the Ishval Rebellion/massacre.

She is easily the most consistently competent and the least goofy of the Military Men, and let's not forget the 'You're useless in the rain' scene.

Action Girl: She pretty much defines this status.

For his part, Berthold acknowledges this his dying words are an apology for not taking better care of her and pleading with Roy to look after her in his stead. She also tells Roy in a flashback that her father was 'a terrifying man' when consumed by his research.

Given Riza is okay with Roy permanently disfiguring her back to hide the tattoo, it's doubtful she was all that willing a participant. Abusive Parents: What little we see of their relationship indicates that Berthold neglected Riza in favor of his alchemy research and he used her as the Human Notepad for his research on flame alchemy when she was younger than eighteen.Hawkeye's calm, collected demeanor and remarkable sharpshooting skills earn her the respect of her fellow officers. Roy's oldest friend, trusted aide, and devoted bodyguard, Lt.
