Temari

Basic Info: Temari's name is "Temari". Temari is a ~19 year old Human female from the Hidden Sand Village (Sunagakure). Temari was born on August 23rd to the Kazekage Clan, consisting of both her late parents Rasa and Karura, and her current younger brothers Gaara and Kankurō, which together with here are known as the "Sand Siblings".

Physical Appearance: Temari stands at a height around 165cm (~5'5") and weighs around 48kg (~106 lbs). Temari bears a great resemblance to her late mother; she has teal eyes and sandy blonde hair that is gathered together into her iconic spiky and short pigtails.

Attire: Temari's attire is completely different than what she is used to wearing.

Personality: Temari is a prudent, stoic and blunt individual who is rarely afraid to speak her mind. Similar to her siblings, she was rather dismissive with a cruel streak which was demonstrated when Gaara killed Team Shigure; she simply smiled and waved goodbye to them before they were crushed. Temari, however, seems to value peace, as she questioned the reasoning of starting a war with Konoha and was saddened by the countless lives that would be lost as a result. Her value for peace increased, as she acts as a diplomatic liaison between Sunagakure and Konohagakure to prepare for the next Chūnin Exams, as well as by risking her life several times to save her comrades, it didn't matter if they were from her village or not as it initially did for other shinobi. Temari, during the Chūnin Exams, it is revealed that the one person she is afraid of is Gaara. When Gaara and Kankurō were fighting, she showed a light, happy, mood to make sure Gaara didn't harm her or Kankurō. Despite this, she no longer expressed fear around him, having been one of the first to accept the new Gaara. Like Kankurō, her relationship with Gaara has greatly improved after he sought redemption after being reformed by Naruto. Temari is shown to be a loving sister who deeply cares for her siblings: when Gaara was captured by the Akatsuki, she hurried back to the village to save him; and when Kankurō was poisoned, she watched over him until he had recovered. Temari frequently appears alongside Shikamaru Nara. Though they were opponents during the Chūnin Exams, they came to each others' aid at different points. Despite her usual tough demeanor, she has a tendency to show a softer nature around Shikamaru, such as showing sympathy for him after his father scolded him for questioning if he should be a ninja after the Sasuke Uchiha rescue mission failed.

History: Temari was born the eldest child of Karura and the Fourth Kazekage: Rasa. While it was customary for close relations to a Kage to be a jinchūriki, neither she nor her younger brother Kankurō were compatible with the One-Tail, so Gaara was chosen. Temari, growing up as a relative to the Fourth Kazekage and Gaara, had a hard time making friends as everyone was always intimidated by her lineage. One boy, however, Daimaru, would spend much time around her, albeit always to play pranks on her. She also used to play with Sen and Yome when they were little girls.
