Tayuya

was the kunoichi of Orochimaru's Sound Four.

Personality
Tayuya was foulmouthed but also very very strong. She has a very short temper but deep inside she is a very nice person. Most of her insults are out of laughter [meaning that it is just entertaining to her and she doesnt really mean unless you make her angry], the other characters are well aware of that. The only character not aware is [Jirobo] who constantly says that girls her age shouldnt curse.

Invasion of Konoha arc
Tayuya made her first appearance with the rest of the Sound Four, erecting a barrier to keep others from interfering in Orochimaru's fight with the Third Hokage. She later escorted Orochimaru when he fled.

Sasuke Retrieval arc
The Sound Four escorts Sasuke Uchiha when he decides to join sides with Orochimaru. When Team Shikamaru caught up with the Sound Four, they managed to take the barrel Sasuke was being carried in from her. While trying to take it back she is confronted by Kimimaro, who threatens to kill her if she doesn't deal with some of the Konoha ninja. She fights Shikamaru, but is repeatedly outmatched by his superior intellect. When she starts relying on brute strength she is almost able to kill him, but [[Temari] arrives and kills her first.

Abilities
Tayuya was the only one of the members of the Sound Four that actually used sound as a weapon; her main weapon was a flute, and with it she could control her Doki. Tayuya was very intelligent and could think of excellent strategies, though not quite on par with Shikamaru. According to Shikamaru, she would probably also "be very good in shogi". She could also perform genjutsu, what she called Demonic Flute: Dream Sound Chain. Her preference for sound-based, long-range combat with her flute made her vulnerable to close-range combat, as the flute was her only weapon.

When in Level 2 cursed seal form, her hair grew longer, her skin turned dark brown, and she grew several horns on her head. She also gained immense strength, which allowed her to overcome even Shikamaru's various shadow jutsu. She is the strongest in sound ninja 4 and the second strongest in Sound ninja 5 because of Kimimaru.

Other Media
Tayuya is a playable character in three of the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja, as well as Naruto: The Broken Bond and Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4. She also appears as an assist character in Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm. Tayuya is the only one of the Sound Four to appear in various Naruto Shippūden ending skits.
