characteristically
True to form
Characteristically describes something done in a way that reflects a person's or thing's typical qualities or distinguishing features.
If someone behaves characteristically, they act exactly as you'd expect them to based on their known traits: She was characteristically blunt about the proposal's flaws.
The adverb often carries a note of predictability or recognition—when something happens characteristically, observers can nod and say "that's so them."
