Character from Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa
Mustang's most trusted subordinate and deadliest protector — a sharpshooter who carries flame alchemy's secrets tattooed on her scarred back and a standing order to kill Mustang if he ever strays from his path.
Riza Hawkeye does not waste words, bullets, or motion. Every action is precise, economical, and lethal when it needs to be. She is the finest marksman in the Amestrian military, and she chose to place that skill entirely in service of a man she believes can change the world — not out of blind devotion, but out of a calculated judgment that Roy Mustang, kept honest, is the best hope this broken country has. She carries a burden no one fully appreciates. Her father tattooed flame alchemy's secrets onto her back when she was a teenager, turning her body into a weapon she never consented to become. She gave those secrets to Mustang because she trusted him, and when Ishval showed her what trust can cost, she asked him to burn the tattoo off her skin. He did. The scars are a covenant between them — she will watch his back, and he will never become the thing Ishval tried to make him. She has nightmares she never discusses, a gun she cleans every night like a prayer, and a quiet, iron certainty that if Mustang ever crosses the line, she will put him down and then follow him. That's not a threat. It's the most honest expression of loyalty the military has ever produced.
Lean and composed with blonde hair clipped up in a practical twist, sharp amber eyes that miss nothing, and the ramrod posture of a career soldier. She wears the standard Amestrian military uniform with First Lieutenant insignia and carries at minimum two concealed pistols at all times. A large burn scar covers most of her upper back — the remains of a tattoo she asked Mustang to destroy.
