Why I like them: i think of all the nart girls she got the overall best treatment–which isn’t saying much–so we actually have a lot more of her personality. i think she’s really fun and i love how she exhibits her intelligence compared to other characters. like she’s clearly incredibly smart and fantastic with strategy and diplomacy, and i like that she’s got those traits and has a lot more opportunity to fight and show her strengths for how little screen time she has overall
Why I don’t: this isn’t specific for her so much as for kishimoto always side lining women and their non-romantic relationships but i really hate that her relationship with gaara and kankurou is like barely there. oh also i hate that one time in classic when she first saw sasuke and was like “oh he’s cute” like that’s so ooc for her and just really shows what kishi thinks of teenage girls/women in general cause this like never really stops with him. i also think that what we saw of her in the chuunin exams was interesting cause she was honestly ruthless and i wish we’d gotten to see more of that like i feel like that was just.. forgotten and unexplored in a lot of ways.
Favorite episode: her fight with tayuya is pretty great tbh
Favorite season/movie: i guess early nart? sasuke retrieval arc
Favorite line: i honestly don’t have the series memorized like that so i could not tell you
Favorite outfit: shippuden outfit
Brotp: honestly i don’t know for this one. one thing i hate about kishimoto besides everything else is that the women really don’t have enough of a relationship with each other. like i want to see more friendships between women in the series. i think if i had to pick i’d say i like the idea of a friendly rivalry between tenten and temari in shippuden or later, and i think i could see her and ino having an interesting friendship.
Head Canon: her title is Temari of the Fan (Kyodai Sensu no Temari)
Unpopular opinion: i honestly have no idea??? are there any unpoplar opinions about her? any hot takes? like i don’t generally see anything i sups disagree with about her???? i think a lot of ppl like her as a character???
A wish: that she and shikamaru had just… split living in konoha and suna, 50/50. 6 months in suna. 6 months in konoha. but they lived in suna from the time temari was like 7 months pregnant to the time shikadai was like 4 or 5 because traveling for three days while pregnant/with an infant/toddler would be too much
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: once again, she has become a housewife and moved completely out of suna, and i hate everything
5 words to best describe them: badass, intelligent, good big sister
My nickname for them: none???
