Background
Temari is the oldest child of the Fourth Kazekage, making her the older sister of Gaara and Kankuro. Temari is a keen analyst, and can easily deduce an opponent's strategies and weaknesses soon after a battle begins. She's second only to Shikamaru who could calculate and analyze her every move during the finals of the Chunin Exam. For actual combat she uses her giant iron fan that, in addition to serving as a makeshift club, can be used to glide upon in order to intimidate her foes. Inscribed on her fan are three purple circles spaced equally across its length, which she calls "stars" ("moons" in the English version). As she opens the fan to reveal each star in sequence, the fan's power increases greatly. She revealed all three stars when defeating Tenten during the Chuunin Exams. The fan can also be used to summon Kamatari, a one-eyed weasel that creates strong gusts of wind to attack her opponents.

Personality
Temari is generally overbearing, if not crude, toward those around her, often not being afraid to speak her mind. Temari does have a caring side, and is not above showing concern for others. She has also shown a bit of a feminist streak. Although she seems to get along somewhat better with Gaara in Part I than Kankuro, her relationship with him doesn't see as big an improvement in Part II as it does for Kankuro. Nevertheless she is much more concerned for her youngest brother's well-being, and eagerly joins Kankuro in trying to find him after he is kidnapped, and advising him not to exert himself too much after his revival.

Temari & Shikamaru
Many of Temari's appearances are associated with Shikamaru Nara. The two face each other during the final matches of the Chunin Exams, where Shikamaru forfeits his match instead of defeating Temari. Temari later comes to his aid during the Sasuke Retrieval arc and defeats the Sound ninja Tayuya to save him. Shikamaru returns the favor in the last of the anime's filler arcs and saves her from one of the Shiitenshounin. In addition, the two are seen together in their Part II debuts. In this instance, Naruto Uzumaki asks if the two are on a date, though both deny this, seemingly embarrassed.
