7. Riza Hawkeye

Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist

Riza is another blonde anime girl who doesn’t need any lengthy introductions.

She’s part of the beloved Fullmetal Alchemist series which I hope everyone knows about.

Yeah I’d think it’s safe to say millions of people know why she belongs on the list.

Aside from her well-established badassery, Riza is a cool-headed woman who also happens to have a thing for dry humor. But you don’t witness this as much.

She’s one of the coolest women in fiction ever, animated or not.

And she doesn’t need to carry a weapon to be an awesome blonde chick (although she looks admittedly fierce with a sniper rifle or two handguns).
