most ISTP-characters have that tsurime design
In Japanese, tsurime ツリ目 means "upturned eyes," literally "fished up eyes." Broadly speaking, it's an eye shape in which the outer corner of the eye is much higher than the inner corner.
The opposite term, downturned eyes, is tareme タレ目.
Tropes
In anime, characters with tsurime ツリ目 eyes tend to be strong and assertive. They don't hold back at starting fights. They're either serious about something, full of conviction, or are scheming and sadistic. In any case, these are eyes convey hostility.
The tsurime eyes are also considered to be cooler and more mature-looking. Cooler in the Terminator 2 kind of cooler.
- otoko-masari 男勝り
Topping men. Winning against men. Refers to female characters that could probably beat male characters in a fight, who're usually deemed unfeminine because of that. - masaru 勝る
To outrival. To win against. To top. To be better than.
As one would expect, not all tsurime characters have these traits, but characters that have these traits usually also have tsurime eyes.
Furthermore, characters that have tareme eyes have the opposing type of personality: they're more docile, avoid confrontation, frail rather than strong, and cute rather than cool.
Siblings
A sub-trope is that two siblings, sometimes twins, often sisters, have opposing eye shapes, because they also have opposing personalities, and the eye shapes often reflect those personalities.
