Background History:

It isn't fair to say that Temari wasn't a happy child. She had a nice home, a mother who took care of her, and a father with a comfortable career. She had everything a child needed to be raised happily. On the other hand, she also had to deal with the minor dysfunctions of her family.

There was her father, who never missed an opportunity to tell her how disappointing she was. How he always wanted a group of sons to carry on his legacy, and how right off the bat he was met with her and her failings. How she never did anything right, and that she would never meet the standards of the family. And her mother, who was often not in her right mind and let Temari believe that everything her father said was right by never saying anything at all. Then her brothers, who... Well her brothers were just what they were. A violent goth and a hapless giant. None of them were very close. It could have been the atmosphere of their parents (or their father, in the case of Gaara) keeping them emotionally distant, or it could have been the unique personal flaws of each of the siblings. Either way, Temari was very much left to take care of herself.

However she did not take her anger out on her brothers. No, they had their own issues and she wouldn't slap on hers to go along with them. At a young age, she took it out on her classmates or teachers. The playground bully who insults everyone constantly, always gets into trouble and has no friends? That was Temari. In the time after her mother died, she was a violent, angry, wretched little girl. Her file in the Washington Elementary School's principal's office was three inches thick. Eventually after instance after instance of being sent home or suspended only to earn more degrading slights from her father she knew it had to stop. She had to be better than this. She could be better than this. She could be a great, successful, intelligent person if for nothing else than to prove that bastard wrong. To start off with, she would need some friends.

Every child at school could pretty much be counted out. Temari had a reputation as the rather mean and insufferable sort. Thusly, the only logical alternative was to go to someone within her family. She chose her larger, less mentally unstable brother. Kankuro was reluctant to bond with her, being, of course, skeptical of her motives, but over time they did connect on some level and she learned that it wasn't as hard to make friends as she had made it up in her head to be. So once she hit middle school, she was finally armed with the tools she needed. The next year, in her introduction to middle school, she didn't instantly make enemies with her teachers, fellow students, or faculty, so her plan was a brilliant success. Without the impediment of being distracted by rivalries with everyone around her, she could focus her energies on making good grades and creating opportunities for herself through extracurricular activities. She excelled in all her classes, made comfortable relationships with tolerable people, and let out all her anger at her father out through sports and mild academic competition with her classmates.

She would get into a good school, get a well paying job, have a successful career, and make her father eat his taunts through a bendy straw.

Personality/Likes & Dislikes:

Everyone has a tiny aggressive spark within them. Temari's spark is more like a forest fire. She keeps it well tucked away where it's important though, at work, school, around the right people. She has an overall sense of self-control, but that doesn't mean she won't let someone have it when they piss her off. At first sight, she comes off as a sensible (if not sometimes angry) person with a small chip on her shoulder and nice eyes. Beyond that she's a strong, independent, intelligent woman who knows how to get her way and will. The blonde stereotype? Ha. Even so much as mention it and you might as well get comfortable with the idea of having your teeth permanently imbedded in the back of your throat. Conversely, Temari has a strong set of morals. She will always help someone who really, really needs it. She's determined to make something truly good out of herself, to be the best, to excel at every obstacle thrown in her way, and to take care of those no one else will. It might have been being the only girl out of a family of men, but Temari has a firmly hidden maternal instinct. She may not have let it out directly back then, but she does project it onto young people she think may need it the most. But don't think you will ever get any sort of "feelings talk" out of her. Temari doesn't do that. She was raised in a family where feelings were something you kept damn well to yourself thank you very much, and she doesn't really "open up" as most girls are so wont to do. Then again, she really isn't like most girls. Temari likes to whale on punching bags until they rip apart, she likes to challenge herself to do better and always does. And, despite her looks, she is not an inherently sexual person. Sure, she enjoys it when the opportunity comes around, but lust, like feelings, is again something you need to keep to yourself.

First person writing sample:

Are you there, good luck? It's me, Temari. You're ignoring me again. I thought I told you not to do that.

Well thanks a lot, because now I have to buy all new textbooks and replace some kid's stupid twenty-dollar bookbag or get a lawsuit on my ass.

And it was so avoidable. I was just walking down the steps, minding my own business, when this stupid pre-law student starts whistling and laughing to his friends while I'm walking by.

Of course I couldn't just let him get away with it or anything, so I asked him what the hell he thought he was looking at.

Just the most beautiful woman in the world, he said.

I just rolled my eyes and kept walking because, of course, that's just the kind of calm and peaceful person I am. But the moron won't just let it be, and he starts following me with all his buddies trailing along and asking me questions like what's my major and where I was "shacking up" for the night. I tried to ignore him, really I did. Even when he fed me a cheesy line about my eyes, I still didn't hit him. That's how hard I was trying. But then the fucker grabbed my ass. Just freaking went to town and laughed about it with his little future-devil friends.

So is it really my fault what happened?

I grabbed his arm and twisted it (that sure got him all worked up) until I was all the way around and used it to force him down onto the grass (and a small section of the stone partition), ripped open his bag and emptied the contents all over his back. While that did make me feel a whole lot better, it did make me temporarily forget that this kid was a future lawyer. Which meant that there was a sixty-percent chance that one of his parents was a lawyer. Which turned out to be true. And his mother threatened to sue me silly for assault and battery if I didn't replace all the stuff that I damaged. All because you had to make the little fuck exist in the first place.

Thanks, fortune. Kindly bite me in the future.

b>Third person writing sample:

She thought bringing a bed from home had been a great idea. The provided mattresses were crap after all. So bringing her own would solve her problems. Right? Wrong.

Her bed shrieked and protested under her weight every time she moved a muscle. It may have been its reaction to the new setting of her dorm room or the long trip from her house to the college, but the frame was permanently angry at her for reasons she couldn't quite understand. She tried greasing it, oiling the joints, and even taking off her trundle bed in order to make the noises stop. But they continued to invade her sleep and dreams; even the other night she dreamt she was sitting at the table with her brothers and they were all making squeaking sounds instead of words to communicate with each other.

The weirdest thing was that she understood it all.

There seemed to be no cure for the crackling creaking monstrosity. Time and again, her friends told her to just throw the thing away and get a new one, already. She kept insisting that she could fix it. No stupid bed frame could outsmart her. She would fix it whether it took her her entire life.

No one ever guessed the real reason was that she still wanted her tiny piece of home. She still wanted her brother sitting on her bed and talking to her about school. She still wanted being tucked in before she went to bed. She wanted to keep the few good memories of her family that she could, and she wanted them forever.

"Jeez Temari," her training partner from the wrestling team berated her, "are you still working on this stupid bed? Throw it out already."

"I will," Temari grumbled as she rolled herself out from under the bed and allowed her partner to help her up, "eventually."

Any Questions: Can I has Temari pls?
