Background

Daughter of the Yondaime Kazekage, Temari is Gaara's and Kankurō's sister and teammate. She carries a giant, apparently metal fan on her back, which she uses as a powerful ninja tool; she is good at fighting from a distance, and a keen analyst (though not of the same calibre as Nara Shikamaru). She does seem quite cruel during the Chūnin Exam during her match with Tenten, but she is caring towards both her siblings (despite her fear of Gaara).

Sasuke Retrieval Arc

When the situation looked hopeless for Shikamaru in his fight against Tayuya during the failed mission to retrieve the renegade Uchiha Sasuke, Temari came to his rescue. Her fan was able to reflect the sound waves right back to their caster. Her Kuchiyose: Kirikiri Mai (Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance) to summon Kamatari (a Kamaitachi or "Sickle Weasel"), tore up and devastated almost an entire forest, defeating Tayuya's strategy to hide and attack from a distance. She and Uzumaki Naruto were the only two genin that could use creature summoning jutsu.

Naruto Part II

During Naruto's 2.5 year absence, she has become a Jōnin. Temari is now acting as a sort of liaison between Sunagakure and Konohagakure.

Botany is her hobby.
