Part In The Story
At the start of the story, she is a shy girl, who is the heiress of the Hyuga Clan. She is one of the rare female characters who didn't have a crush on Uchiha Sasuke, instead her crush, and perhaps eventual love is Uzumaki Naruto. Her father looks down upon her because she is not as ruthless as a Hyuga Heir should be, and he practically disowns her after she fails to beat her sister Hanabi Hyuga in combat after she graduates to the genin level. Despite however hard she trained, she gave up and thought herself as useless, lending many failures on missions. Despite this, her teacher Kurenai Yuhi cares for her like her own daughter.

When the Chunin Exams came, she entered with the teammates in an attempt to change herself. During the first test, when Naruto was struggling to complete the written exam, she offered to let him cheat off her. However, after seeing the penalty for cheating on a guy just behind them, he refused so she wouldn't get in trouble. His inspiring speech at the end of the first test gave her the confidence to not give up, so Ibiki past everyone in the group who didn't refuse to take the 10th Question.

In the second part of the exam, during the Forest of Death, she, Aburame Shino, and Kiba Inuzuka, her teammates, quickly managed to get their scroll, becoming one of the first Genin Teams to do so in that exam. When Kiba and Akamaru smelled a second target, they witnessed the Sand Siblings, Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari 'fight' a Rain Genin team. The slaughter that Gaara created made them hide behind the bush, hoping not to be started.

Then in the preliminaries, she witnessed the battle between her teammate Kiba and her crush Naruto, and was divided on who to cheer. Ultimately, she cheered Naruto on and gave Naruto some of her homemade healing cream to heal his wounds after the fight. In the later rounds, she had to face her much stronger cousin, Neji Hyuga in combat. She almost broke down and gave up after Neji berated her on being a failure who can never change. This made Naruto angry, and he cheered Hinata on, giving her the strength to fight her cousin. Despite being outmatched, she put up an incredible fight against Neji. He was surprised when she refused to give up, refused to stay down, and became enraged when, for the first time, she was able to see through him, to see his own pain. The Jonin Kurenai, Hatake Kakashi, and Neji's sensei Maito Gai restrained him from killing Hinata. When Hinata was taken away to the hospital, Naruto picked up the blood she dropped on the ground and vowed to beat Neji.

Naruto and Neji would fight in the first round of the finals. He was extremely rattled and nervous the day of the fight, and began to doubt himself. He went to one of his old training areas, and ran into Hinata. When he began to doubt himself verbally, she ceased his rant, telling him that he was strong, that he had a strength that she admired. This gave Naruto the strength and drive to go face Neji, and as he left, he told Hinata she was 'A dark, timid girl...but you know, I think I like people like you.' She was speechless and watched him go.

After that, she managed to watch half way through Naruto's battle with her cousin, however, she was still suffering from the injuries Neji gave her, and had to be excused. When Naruto beat Neji, his thought was 'Was Hinata watching?'

When Naruto left to train with Jiraiya at the end of the series, she was the only person who saw him off. As he left, she vowed to become stronger.

In Part II], she had attained the rank of [[Chunin and was still part of team 8. She had apparently been accepted as the Hyuga Heiress once again, and had blossomed into a beautiful young woman. When Naruto returned, she tried to will herself to see him, but he dropped in front of her, thinking she had a fever, and put his hand on her head. She fainted promptly.

In the current arc, she has been paired with Naruto and Yamato to find Uchiha Itachi. She doesn't care that Naruto has the Kyubi inside him, and is more than willing to fight side by side with him. She is able to spot that Kabuto has been taken over 30% by Orochimaru's body parts.

Personality
She is very shy, soft spoken, and polite. However, she has a desire to change herself, make herself stronger. This is due to her interaction with Naruto, her crush.

Looks
At the start of the series, she was the shortest of the Rookie Nine, even shorter than Naruto was. She wore a bulky gray winter coat, a standard shinobi tee-shirt under the coat, and dark blue shinobi pants and sandals. Her hair is bluish-black, and during Part I, she wore it in a 'duck-like' design, with two bangs in front of her face. Like the rest of her clan, she has a white eye, however, there is a tinge of lavender in the iris.

In part II, she has grown taller (exact height hasn't been specified yet), has a new coat which is black and white, and is more form filling on her. She kept her pants and shoes the same. In Part II, she had also grown her hair out, so her bluish-black hair reaches her back.

Jutsus
Hinata's fighting style is the same as Neji when it comes to taijutsu: Jyuuken. This style attempts to damage the internal organs rather than to break bones and do some external damage, like Rock Lee's fighting style. Part II Hinata can even keep up with her stronger cousin Neji at Jyuuken. Hinata also inherited the Byakugan.
