She willing to sacrifice herself and combat those she knows to be superior to her to defend her team. She has shown that despite being overcritical, overbearing, hot-tempered and blunt at times, especially with Naruto, she can be supportive of her friends. She can also be reckless, due to her desire to catch up in strength with Naruto and Sasuke, her over protectiveness of them, and her need to prove her worthiness as a ninja, when she's single.
