Hinata is naturally averse to confrontation, leading her to be meek and timid. Her overwhelming kindness often prevents her from acting or responding out of fear of offending others. Her father's efforts to change this aspect of her personality only worsened her self-confidence, making her even more bashful. Despite being disinherited, Hinata's love for her family remained strong, as shown when she agreed to marry Toneri to rescue Hanabi, even though it meant potentially breaking Naruto's heart.
