Ameno

is a kunoichi from Sunagakure and a team-mate of Kōji and Shishio.

Personality
She seems to have a caring and polite personality as shown when she healed Sakura Haruno, who was a complete stranger to her. She also seems to have a composed no-nonsense demeanour, which was seen when she stated that no one should have gone out to the desert during the evening and was further shown in the way she offered to heal Sakura's wound. She is very committed to her profession, so much that she willingly refuses payment from another Suna team for her services (even if she was visibly fatigued by it), showing a strong sense of loyalty towards her comrades. In battle, while relentless in her attacks, she firmly believes in her medical-nin status and tries to avoid damaging the enemy as much as possible.

Appearance
Ameno has long brown hair that frames her face, fair skin and light-brown eyes with eyelashes. She keeps her hair in a ponytail with a pink hairband. She has a Suna crest imprinted on the right side of her white collared shirt and wears two forehead protectors on both her wrists.

Medical Ninjutsu
Ameno is a skilled medical-nin who is able to increase the speed of a body's natural healing process by sending chakra from her hands into a wound on an afflicted body part. She is also able to perform fine minor surgery, removing countless poison barbs from an individual.

Nature Transformation
She can also use Water Release. She commonly applies this skill to supplement her medical skills. With it, she can treat poison-related injuries or act as a contingency plan against enemy attacks, healing herself and others. In actual combat, she can form giant pinchers of water to attack her opponent from a greatr distance.

In Naruto's Footsteps: The Friends' Paths
Ameno and her team arrived in Konohagakure to partake in the Chūnin Exams. For the first phase of the exams, Ameno was placed separately in another room from her other team-mates. Her team was able to qualify for the second round. A preliminary round had to be held to lessen the number of participants there. The preliminary round involved a race to Sunagakure with only the first 30 teams qualifying for the primary second round. Ameno and her team were of the 30 teams to make it. That night, when Sakura was wounded by a giant scorpion from outside, she healed her. The next day, the second exam proctor — Temari, announced the start of the second round taken place within Demon Desert. On the third day of the second exam, Ameno decided to treat an enemy Suna-nin of poison on principle that outside the exam they were allies. After completing the procedure, she calmly turned down the enemy team's offer of their scroll. Afterwards, Shishio used his sensing seal to find an enemy team, ultimately locating Team Asuma. Ameno warned her team-mates that one of their members, Sakura Haruno was the apprentice of the Fifth Hokage.

Upon approaching Team Asuma, Ameno offered to let the team pass and use the oasis if they give up their scroll. The Konoha-nin quickly rejected the offer and Ino Yamanaka quickly launched an attack, to which Kōji quickly countered and knocked Ino out. Ameno and Kōji then engaged Sakura and Chōji Akimichi, quickly becoming pressured by their taijutsu. Soon enough, Shishio finished molding enough chakra to camouflage his team. Despite hiding themselves from the enemies' sight, Ino recovered and used her sensory skills to guide her team. Ultimately, Ameno and her team was defeated. While Ameno and the other medical kunoichi treated everyone, showing no ill-feelings towards the each other, Ameno offered their scroll as they lost, but Sakura insisted that it was unneeded as they already had two scrolls. They all agreed to meet up again in the third exam.
