Ironically, even though she is kind-spirited in that manner, she also has has a terrifyingly large temper. Anger is something that Winry unfortunately has a lot of, to the point of it almost being unhealthy. In some ways it helps--she gets angry more than she gets upset so it can serve as a driving force as opposed to wallowing--but anger of course is a very dangerous emotion so it sometimes leads her to take very aggressive and impulsive actions. This is shown in small portions by her habit of wrenching or punching people when they annoy her, which happens regularly (at least where Ed is concerned) but even this is only scratching at the surface. After all, she was willing to pick up a gun and point it at someone, and even if she didn't shoot that is still a very significant action. She is a person easy to anger, but easy to forgive (or at least tolerate). She isn’t the type to hold grudges and despite her tantrums she would never seriously harm anyone close to her, and learns to persevere both emotionally and the presence of others.
Despite everything she has been through she remains quite optimistic and has a generally cheerful attitude. She has a sometimes quirky, sometimes odd sense of humor and loves to tease and taunt those she is fond of. It has a habit of getting her into a lot of trouble, but she somehow always manages to slip out. Only on very rare occasions does her true anger, bitterness, and depression for all the things that have happened. She can be quite impulsive at times, sensitive, and shrill but she does mean well, and has a heavy sense of duty.
Abilities: The thing that Winry has going for her most is her intelligence. From the day she was born Winry was raised amongst scholars and people who were incredibly proficient at their work. Even Hohenheim, who left when she was so young left an impact on her. He was very studious and a great alchemist, something that her best friends the Elrics took after. Both her own parents were great doctors, and instilled in her a great sense of enthusiasm and compassion to follow their footsteps. Her grandmother, a great automail engineer also inspired her to work towards that vocation. While in many regards Amestris is 'behind' quite a number of worlds, with her drive and determination Winry is the kind of person who can pick up and learn things pretty quickly.
Thanks to this background, Winry is both a doctor and a mechanic. She had taken care of a score of people, and a large part of the automail business involves physical therapy so that people can learn how to use their new limbs. This means that Winry works a lot with people, and a lot with some people who may not be the happiest or most patient of people. It has in turn given her a strong amount of understanding and patience of her own so she is particularly good reading others.
What probably stands out the most about Winry, however, is her fortitude. She has seen her fare share of troubles, but she manages to keep a cool head throughout them.
Oh. It should probably be noted that she is pretty good with a wrench. So if she is angry, and picks one up, it is best if you duck. Better yet, run far away.
When it comes down to it, though, Winry isn't a trained fighter. She is stronger than she looks, because of all her work with automail, but she would do poorly against another person who has had more experience than her. Not simply because she would be outdone is just overall physical fitness and experience, but it would take a lot to bring Winry to the point where she would have to seriously hurt someone. An animal or monster might be different, but another person? That'd be difficult. Her parents were killed saving the lives of others, and so she would consider it the gravest sign of disrespect if she ever did something like that, and the thing Winry fears the most is putting to shame the two people who mean the most to her. This, however, doesn't mean she would never do it.
