BioName: Matsuri
Fandom: Naruto
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Time Period: Post episode 32 of Shippuden
Wing Color: Light blue
History:
Matsuri is a student in the Hidden Sand Village's new ninja school. While the other Genin immediately joined Kankuro and Temari’s groups, she was the only person out of the entire class brave enough to choose Gaara to be her teacher, and she referred to him as "Gaara-sensei." Ironically, she went with him despite having an acute fear of weapons at the time – especially short swords. Nevertheless, she is willing to participate in the weapons training, and when Gaara tells her to choose a weapon, she picks a very heavy club, despite being lightweight. Gaara, sensing her hesitation and inhibitions, tells to use the rope dart instead, especially after Matsuri falls over from not being able to carry the club.
Unfortunately, because of her perceived importance to Gaara by the enemy party, Matsuri is soon kidnapped by four ninja from the Takumi Village to lure Gaara out. They intend to steal Shukaku's chakra to use in resurrecting Takumi Village's founder Seimei, and take revenge on the Five Great Nations that had been oppressing their village for the past century. Matsuri just happens to fall into their plans via guilt by association, and they threaten to kill her if Gaara didn't come. But thankfully, he does, although Matsuri was forced to stay trapped and watch as the enemies slowly battered away at his strength.
After being freed from a cylindrical human-sized box, Matsuri saves an ally from a fatal attack by her rope dart when she realized that weapons could be used to protect people from watching Suna’s ultimate weapon, Gaara, using his sand to shield his comrade. When Seimei is eventually defeated by Gaara, she returns to Suna with Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari. But before leaving, Matsuri asks Shikamaru to tell Naruto that he had made her understand what Gaara was trying to tell her, and that she will continue to train as Gaara's student.
Two-and-a-half years later, Matsuri is a Chunin, and continues to hold Gaara in a very high regard, boasting about his skills without hesitation. During his kidnapping, she showed a great deal of concern over the fact that she had to stay in Suna and guard the border instead of being a part of the pursuit team sent to retrieve him. When Gaara is revived, she gushes over him with great happiness and relief, promising to go his aid if he is ever in a perilous situation again.
She was initially afraid of weapons because she saw her parents get skewered by many weapons and die right in front of her eyes. During that incident, she couldn't do anything - it was pre-ninja training - so she felt useless. Matsuri carries a lot of guilt and blames herself for letting her parents get killed. She wanted to become a shinobi so she wouldn't be weak anymore, or let anyone she cares for get hurt. She has gotten over her fear of weapons during the time-skip and made it to the Chunin rank because of Gaara's training, and by her own determination to change herself and get stronger.
Personality:
In the beginning of her introduction, Matsuri starts off being a shy and very soft-spoken girl, but now she has become braver and more outspoken under Gaara's tutelage (and probably because of Temari’s influence as well). After the time-skip, she seems to have fewer inhibitions about using weapons, but likely still prefers to use non-lethal ones because she doesn't like to hurt people. Matsuri is very caring and will go to great lengths to help her friends and comrades, such as putting herself in dangerous situations.
She is very polite and respectful to other people, especially those with authority over her, and addresses most people with the “-san” suffix (except for Gaara, in which case she uses “-sama”). When voicing her opinion on a topic, Matsuri doesn’t have very many inhibitions about speaking her mind, but she would back down if the other person exhibited discomfort or unease toward the discussion. This aspect shows her empathy and consideration toward others, even though she can get very emotional on some subjects that she feels passionate about.
Matsuri has an initial shyness around strangers, but her desire to befriend others eventually helps her get over that. She is fiercely protective of the people important to her, and tends to hide her weaknesses due to both inner and outer expectations, but then those attributes usually get found out eventually. Matsuri doesn’t believe in judging people based on their reputations or appearances, and dislikes it when she witnesses others doing that, especially with regards to Suna’s Fifth Kazekage.
She works very hard to be a more-than-adequate ninja, because there are high expectations that come with being Gaara’s student, seeing as he is the strongest ninja in the Sand Village, and she feels like it’s necessary to help Gaara uphold his reputation. She wouldn’t hesitate to stand up for him, such as smacking anyone who utters a single negative phrase. Matsuri treats Gaara with a great deal of respect, and it’s quite apparent that she has romantic feelings for him. Normally, she is very sensible and would think before leaping into any situation, but if it’s an issue that concerns Gaara, then she will likely go in on instinct alone, maybe even disobeying orders from higher authority. Nevertheless, she means well, and always tries very hard to improve herself.
