She is generally overbearing, if not blunt, toward those around her, rarely afraid to speak her mind. Temari is known as the cruelest of the kunoichi, but she does have a caring side and is not above showing concern for others. She is a former kunoichi of Sunagakure's Kazekage Clan and the eldest of the Three Sand Siblings. After marrying Shikamaru Nara, she becomes a member of the Nara Clan and emigrates to Konohagakure, where she works as a kunoichi for the village.
