Winry is cheerful, strong-willed, bubbly, hot-headed and empathetic. She loves everything about automails and mechanic, and always puts all her heart and effort into her work. She also loves her patients and is always ready to help them. Due to her love and full knowledge about automails, Edward often calls her a "engineering otaku" or a "crazy gearhead", while she always calls him "an otaku alchemist" in response. Usually she always hates when Ed brokes her automail and often uses her wrench as a weapon which always makes Ed and Al fear for her rage. Dedicated to her work and her friends, Winry works with almost excessive devotion on the various automail whose maintenance she undertakes for the sake of the people who depend on her, going so far as to take multiple consecutive overnight workshop sessions and travel long distances without hesitation in order to ensure their prompt and proper completion. While she has good intentions, Winry can be stubborn and straightforward, often calling others out for their weaknesses and delusions, but she also offers emotional support to her friends when they need it. She has a strong sense of morality and long respect for her parents, who unfairly died in the war doing the right thing. While at first she tried to kill Scar after discovering that he is the killer of her parents, later she decided not to kill him since her parents saved him once, even tought she is clear that she will never forgive him. After losing her parents on her childhood, Winry developed a strong attachment to her relatives and also got abandonment issues, always hating being left alone by the Elrics and fearing that she could lose them. She also hated to see her two best friends taking the burden of their mistakes on their own. When Ling Yao suggests that Alphonse does not need his human body since he is inmortal now, Winry gets mad at his words, to the point of leaving the room, since she knew how Alphonse suffered emotionally for losing his body. She is very compassive, empathetic and sensitive, and often is seeing crying or getting openly emotional towards others, something that she does not have a problem with expressing it, even thought Edward calls her a "crybaby" jokingly.Winry also hates putting her friends in danger or akward situations because of her, getting mad or dissapointed at herself. Due to her cheerful and bubbly attitude, Winry is admired by other people, seeing her as a charming and sweet person, to the point that they seem to get in love with her for a little moment. Winry is also admired by her patients and they prefer when she is the one to attends them instead of Garfield. In many occasions she is seen to be indifferent about the theme of love, being open with her reason to reject Alphonse in her childhood, and also, she is clear an relaxed with the fact that she has romantic feelings for Edward, and is seen teasing him when he akwardly realizes that he loves her too. Even though, she is seen getting flustered when Edwards confesses to her at the end of the series.
