Gaara - He has a bloodthirsty nature, believing that he exists only to kill people. The Kazekage made him the Sand's ultimate weapon. He has known no love, no compassion; his own guardian tried to assassinate him when he was six. Tormented about his existence, he finds solace in killing people. Gaara has a peculiar "kanji" or Japanese/Chinese symbol on his head signifying love. It's a pun of his name, which means death in Japanese. So his name translates literally as "I love death."
Hyuuga Hinata - She is a member of the Head family branch of the Hyuuga Clan. She is very shy and afraid to fight, but she is strong when she does. Hinata has a crush on Naruto, who is too thick-headed to notice. She tries her hardest to change herself. Like Neji, she uses the Byakugan but to a lesser degree of skill.
Hyuuga Neji - The genius from the branch family of the Hyuuga Clan, he has the most talent and ability of the entire clan. But he has a very depressing way of thinking: that you can't change your life or your fate and that your doomed forever in the state you are at now. He inherited the Byakugan from his clan. The Byakugan allows him to have a view of nearly 360 degrees and he detects enemy attacks with it.
Inuzuka Kiba - He smells like a dog, looks like a dog, and acts like one. Kiba also brawls like a dog. But that doesn't mean he isn't strong. His drawbacks are that he is too bossy and impatient, but he packs a ton of power. Sometimes he is so arrogant and overconfident that his teammates hate him! His clan specializes in training dogs to fight.
Kankuro - He is Gaara's older brother. Kankuro has peculiar purple marking on his face. The face paint is in the style of Kabuki. (Kabuki: An old style of Japanese play where the actors say not a word but they use dance, music, and craft to perform.) The masks have thick lines of color, highlighting the eyes, around the cheekbones and across the jaw line. This helps to emphasize the emotional responsiveness of the character (often anger). When a Kabuki mask is colored purple it means: sublimity, nobility, and loftiness. Kankuro has a marionette that he uses to battle with, called Karasu. He hates midgets. Kankuro is quite strong, but he is afraid of offending Gaara, as he would kill him.
Kin - How she came to Orochimaru is still a mystery to all, but Kin uses senbons with bells to screw and disrupt the mind. Kin gets beaten by Shikamaru and is also eventually sacrificed to bring back the 2nd Hokage.
Orochimaru - One of the Legendary Sennin, Orochimaru was trained by the Third Hokage. He then turned evil because he wanted power. Orochimaru can summon snakes and seems to be immortal. When he bites someone he gives the person a cursed seal that sucks chakra out of him or her. Whoever is bitten has a 90% chance of dying. He impersonates the Kazekage in order to destroy Konoha. Orochimaru has a personal grudge against Konoha. He is classified as an S Class Criminal.
Nara Shikamaru - He is the sort of person that would rather sleep than work. However, once Shikamaru promises something, he won't let you down. Shikamaru is extremely smart and has an IQ of over 200! He likes to play shogi (Japanese Chess) and is a brilliant strategist. His whole clan specializes in Shadow techniques.
Rock Lee - He is a ninja with no talent whatsoever for Ninjutsu or Genjutsu.
Because of this, he has to rely on his Taijutsu. Rock Lee is very fast and his Taijutsu is very strong. His rival Neji believes that fate has decided your path. In his philosophy, if you are a dropout, you will stay a dropout. Rock Lee works very hard to try and defeat Neji.
