The Sand Siblings




Top:Kankuro Middle:Temari Bottom:Gaara
Intro: The Sand Siblings are a group of ninja from the Village Hidden Among Sand. They are siblings with Temari being the oldest, and Gaara being the youngest. They first appeared during the biannual ninja exams as antagonists, but later return as allies do to the influence of Naruto Uzumaki.
Temari: Temari is the oldest of the three siblings. Unlike her more combat-loving brothers, Temari values peace, and is very sensible in nature. She carries a large iron fan which she wields during battle to cause huge gusts of wind and for performing ninjutsu and genjutsu. Temari is skilled at identifing an opponents skills and weaknesses soon after a battle starts.
Kankuro: Kankuro is the middle sibling of the three siblings. He used to disagree with Gaara, but held himself in check in the fear of being killed. However, when Gaara begins revealing his dreams and hopes to Kankuro, he becomes protective of Gaara and readily risks his life to save him when Gaara is kidnapped. During battle, Kankuro uses his chakra to control puppets that are filled with weapons and poison. His puppets are Crow, Black Ant, and Salamander.
Gaara: Gaara is the youngest of the three siblings. His father originally intended to make him into a military weapon by sealing the one-tailed Shukaku (racoon-dog) sand spirit into him. However Gaara was tormented by his fellow villagers for being the host of a tailed beast. After one of his few remaining relatives tried to kill him, Gaara developed a violent personality, killing others to affirm the value of his existence. During battle, Gaara can break up rocks and minerals in the ground to create sand which he uses to perform his sand based jutsu. He also keeps a set amount of sand in the gourd on his back, which is a special type of sand he pours large amounts of chakra into.
