Shy and introverted, that would be Hyuuga Hinata in a nutshell. Hinata is the shyest character in all of the series, with an uncertan and shaky voice because she is always afraid to be wrong or to insult someone. Because of this fear, she barely ever gives her opinion on anything when she works with her team and she's too often led by Inuzuka Kiba even though she is perfectly capable of coordinating the teams actions, but unfortunately she doesn't have the leadership skills to do it like Kiba does. Nevertheless Hinata has proven to be a good and reliable person, always willing to help her team whenever she's asked to and always doing her best to do it. Hinata is also very helpful to others as we see when Uzumaki Naruto finally beats Kiba, when she gives both of them a medicinal cream to help them heal. Unfortunately Hinata's lack of confidence in herself has made her fail some missions in the past, only because she didn't believe in her great capacities and therefore couldn't develop them to the highest of her capacities. This aspect of Hinata chances a lot after a battle with Hyuuga Neji, for she starts to believe in herself after Naruto cheers her on. Taking Naruto on as a rolemodel she has regained a lot of confidence in herself and is now a very potent fighter and teammate, and of course is madly in love with Naruto! But, still too shy to actually tell him, which often leads them both in to funny situations!

Hinata has a tragic past, being born in the head family branch of the Hyuuga clan she was destined for something she could never be, a cold and powerful elite. From the beginning Hinata showed weakness, psychologically and in physical strength for she was too shy and introverted, and therefore, by Hyuuga's standards, too weak. So for that she was abandoned by the clan to Kurenai's training, as even her own father said she was a waste of time. In her younger years Hinata was almost kidnapped once but was saved by her father that killed the ninja intruder from the Cloud Country, with which the Fire Country had just signed a peace treaty, who was hoping that she would reveal the secrets of the Hyuuga clan to them. As no proof that the Cloud Country was involved in this incident could be offered the Cloud Country demanded that they wanted Hyuuga Hiashi (Hinata's Father) killed and his body handed over to them or else they would start another conflict (even though it was just to get a body from the Hyuuga clan to obtain their secrets). But not wanting his Brother to be killed, and more than that, to do this as the first act he's done of his own will and to protect the clans secrets (when a member of the branch family dies, their abilities are sealed, and therefore impossible to study or steal), Neji's Father and Hiashi's twin brother, Hyuuga Hizashi, decided that he would make the sacrifice to protect his son, his brother, the clan and the village. Afterall it was the role of the branch family to protect the main family, even though he truly hated the main family, and did not sacrifice himself for them at all. Because of these events Hyuuga Neji would hold a grudge against the main family, as he didn't know his father willingly made the sacrifice, and thus he also held a grudge against Hinata.

Hinata's fighting style is the same as Neji when it comes to taijutsu, she uses the strongest hand to hand fighting style in all of Konoha: Jyuuken. This style attempts to damage the internal organs rather than to break bones and do some external damage, like Rock Lee's fighting style. Hinata has shown us that she can use this taijutsu style with great efficiency enough to keep up with her stronge cousin Neji. This already makes Hinata a formidable opponent, but she has an even greater ability, the Byakugan! This advanced bloodline limit that is exclusive to the Hyuuga clan grants its user some great abilities: clearly seeing for miles in front of them, a nearly 360 degree angle of vision with only one blind spot behind the thoracic vertebra. Also, this bloodline limit gives the user the ability to see through the human body and percieve things such as the flow of chakra, but more importantly the tenketsu points or chakra holes that even the Sharingan cannot see! Combined with the Jyuuken, Hinata can hit them all and completely stop the chakra flow of her opponent. There is no doubt that Hinata will one day become one of the best ninjas with some of the greatest abilities in all of Konoha.

...That wasn't the LEAST bit obsessive. xd

Personality and ability
Hinata is very shy, admiring Naruto, the outcast, only from afar
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Daughter and heiress to the Hyūga clan, Hinata is a terminally shy and soft-spoken, yet tough and resolute, Chūnin-level taijutsu user, from Yūhi Kurenai's Team 8. As a member of the Hyūga clan, she possesses the Byakugan, and specialises in the Jūken, or "Gentle Fist", fighting style. This means that her field of vision is almost 360° and she is able to damage her opponent's chakra circulatory system and inner organs directly with even a slight tap. Since she is the main house's elder child, Hinata is supposed to be the heir to the clan; however, because her father deemed her a lost cause in her early teens - apparently of even lesser skill than her younger sister, Hanabi, and not even comparable to her cousin Neji - and thus he left her in the care of Yūhi Kurenai when she became Hinata's sensei, stating he didn't care if Hinata died on a mission.

Struggling against her low self-confidence and slowly gaining ground, Hinata often has to remind herself to try her best instead of just giving up, like she used to. She has a huge crush on Naruto of which he is completely unaware, and has admired him for his positive and inspiring attitude years before they graduated the academy when he was still regarded by almost everyone else as a good-for-nothing reincarnation of a monster fox. Hinata's strong romantic affections for Naruto seem to be a rather glaring exception, as no other introduced girl of around Naruto's age has displayed anything of the sort for him (in stark contrast to Uchiha Sasuke, who at times seems to be the collective crush of the entire female teenage population of Konoha).

"Humans are separated by differences they are born with but I want to believe that people can change and wanted to express that. Hinata's theme is 'by believing in yourself, you can become a new person.' - Kishimoto Masashi
Chūnin Exam arc
When Naruto briefly breaks the fourth wall during the start of the Chūnin Exam and introduces his classmates - the "Rookie 9" - to the audience, he describes Hinata as a "a shy, dark, weird girl who always looks away when I look at her". He gradually learns of the kind of person she is by snippets of interaction during the exam; she offers to let him copy off of her paper during its first stage and a case of medicine during the third stage, both acts of kindness rather out of place in the fiercely competitive environment that is the Chūnin exam. Though Naruto is dumbfounded as to the true motives behind her behavior (namely that she's in love with him), his outlook on her becomes more sympathetic and caring.

Hinata's purpose in entering the Chūnin exam was to change herself and overcome her own weakness of character. This resolve is tested quite brutally in the third stage preliminaries, when she faces her cousin Neji in a battle. Not only is this an abysmal match-up for her, as he knows her own fighting style better than she does, but he has a bitter grudge against the Main House. He takes this opportunity to belittle her aspiration of changing herself, carrying a rather mentally unbalancing speech tinged with fatalism with the conclusion that personality traits and ability are determined at birth and ultimately, people cannot change. As the ferocity of the speech and Neji's psychological warfare intensifies, Hinata is practically brought to tears, at which point Naruto shouts for her to stand up for herself. This surprises almost everybody present, including Hinata herself, as Naruto is essentially cheering for a stranger.
Inspired by Naruto's words, Hinata battles Neji and even though it is utterly futile as Neji is simply much stronger than she is, she manages to throw him off balance by the mere act of continuing to fight. She gets up at points where she decidedly should not be getting up, and on the verge of collapse tells Neji that he is confused and suffering within the fate of the main and branch houses. Upon hearing this Neji is driven into blind rage and runs straight at her, screaming, intending to kill her. The Jōnin overseeing the match stopped him in time from delivering this final blow, but Hinata is very wounded as it is and must be taken to intensive care.

This fight is the turning point for Hinata's character in general and Naruto's outlook on her in particular; When Hinata declares her nindō - path of endurance in life - to be the same as his, not running away anymore and not going back on her word, he finally understands that she is very similar to him and is fighting the same battle against the impending sense of failure and rejection that comes with being a dropout (or a "loser," to use a more American term). When the fight starts, Hinata is a stranger to Naruto; by its end, he is moved by her resolve and aggravated by Neji's treatment of her to the point where he makes a promise to her to defeat him by clenching his fist around her spilled blood and pointing it at the victorious Hyūga prodigy. As she loses consciousness, she wonders whether she was able to change, even just a little.

One month later during the day of the third stage main matches Hinata sees Naruto again. He got his wish of matching up against Neji, but the strength of his opponent bothers him to the point where rather than heading straight to the stadium, he wanders off to where he first became a genin, lost in thought. He confides in her that his self-doubt is strengthening, and he thinks he only appears strong to her because he's always acting strong to cover up the frustration of his constant failures. Hearing this, Hinata immediately speaks up, telling him that this isn't true and that she thinks of him as a strong person who makes mistakes and learns from them, and that in her eyes he's always been "a proud failure", awing him and curing his self-doubt. Before he leaves, he tells her that he thought she was a shy, dark, weird girl, but he's decided that it's people like her he really likes. He does not, of course, notice that this has sent her into a blushing, shocked reverie (which comically goes undisturbed even when Kiba arrives, puzzling him greatly).

During Naruto's battle, Hinata silently cheered him on. However, when Naruto was struck down by one of Neji's attacks she began to feel pain as well. Kiba exclaims that she hasn't completely recovered from her own battle. An ANBU (Kabuto in disguise) comes in to heal her, much to Kiba's surprise, but she is unable to continue watching the fight. After the battle is over, Naruto wonders if Hinata was watching him.


Filler arcs
Bikōchū Arc
Curiously, Hinata enjoys a large amount of spotlight in the "filler" arcs created by the anime studio to stall between the Sasuke retrieval arc and the later arcs in the manga. Though it follows the common filler pattern of sending Naruto off to a mission with members of another team, the Bikōchū arc is about her and her development for all intents and purposes, which is very unusual as filler arcs tend to shy away from developments regarding the original cast in order to maintain continuity with the manga.
In this arc, Hinata - who is pained to see Naruto's constant frustration about losing Sasuke - convinces the rest of Team 8 to try to find some way to help him. Shino recalls the existence of the Bikōchū (微香虫, "Faint smell bug" or "scent bug"), a rare insect with a great tracking ability, which, he says, is pretty much their only chance to help, and consequently says that they shouldn't go because the chance of finding this bug is very small. Very uncharacteristically, Hinata insists that they should go and they wind up taking the idea to Tsunade, who agrees to send them off to the mission, even sending Naruto off with them.

During one of the mission's nights, Naruto wakes up to relieve his bladder and has his attention drawn to a nearby waterfall where he notices a beautiful naked girl performing a sort of swirling dance, making the water sprout in an orb around her. Awed by this captivating sight he approaches her, asking who she is, only to slip on a rock and fall in the water, alerting her to his presence. He apologizes but there is no response, as she is already gone. This is seen in episode 148.

Though it is quite obvious that this girl was Hinata, Naruto fails to make the connection and later excitedly recounts to Kiba how he saw this "ultra-pretty girl" during the night, embarrassing her incredibly (fans of the show have drawn amused comparisons between the overall mood of the scene and mahō shōjo themes).
After numerous decoys, counter-decoys, traps and other types of underhanded warfare, during which all of the team members come inches from gruesome deaths, it is ultimately Hinata who comes to the rescue. Presumed dead by the Konoha-nin's adversaries, she appears in a crucial moment and nullifies the combined effect of all of the Kamizuru bee swarm jutsu, including a gigantic summon, by means of a new, original jutsu she has developed - Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō (Guardian Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand), a technique on par with Neji's Hakke Rokujūyon Shō and Hakke Shō Kaiten (and arguably even better - some fans have criticised the anime team for coming up with this "overpowered" move). Shino explains Hinata's motives of pushing herself to this level - she did it to be acknowledged by her father and Naruto; and as she drops to the ground from exhaustion Naruto catches her and pronounces her performance "awesome", grinning (though he still does not figure out that the girl he saw earlier was her, training this very technique). Hinata, not unexpectedly, blushes and smiles.

Later, when back in the village, the Hyūga clan - Hiashi, Hinata and Neji - are seen sitting together in the clan residence. Hiashi, who has years before disowned his daughter, asks her how the mission went, to which she responds, smiling, that it was a complete and utter failure (which it was, seeing as the tracking potential of the bug was later lost owing to unfortunate circumstances involving Naruto and the release of methane). Quite surprised by this change of attitude, Hiashi smiles and tells her to do her best, and the arc ends with the smiling Hyūga clan and her staring up at the sunlight and resolving to always strive to become stronger. This concept is largely not filler; the manga similarly deals with the healing of the Hyūga clan and Hinata's ever-strengthening resolve..


Treasure Hunt arc
In a later filler arc, Tsunade decides to send Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba on a mission to retrieve a box that a man is looking for. However, there is a catch: due to the fact they failed in both the Bikōchū and Bounty Hunter missions, if the 3 genin fail once again, they would be sent back to the academy. Fearing for their ninja status, Naruto and Kiba spend much of the trip bickering about who is lagging down who, while Hinata quietly watches, not wanting to get in the way. As a result, Hinata gets a nasty cut on her leg while following Naruto's brazen way of pathfinding.

They are soon trapped in a cave by the man who was supposed to have hired them, and the man's children proceeded to use a jutsu that allowed them to copy the faces and bodies of Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba. This jutsu is apparently potent enough to escape detection by smell. Before leaving, the cave is rigged with explosive notes that will crush the 3 real genin. However, Naruto, Kiba, and Akamaru manange to free Hinata from her ropes via biting, and Hinata proceeds to use Shugohakke Rokujuyon Shō to deflect the debris from the explosion. After momentarily fainting again when she got too close to Naruto, Hinata frees Kiba, who uses Gatsūga to dig them out. Once on the outside, all three of them realize their lack of teamwork was what had made this mission become almost a failure. It was decided that Naruto and Kiba would run ahead to the village and stop the imposters while Hinata would go her own pace. Upon returning to the village, Hinata finds that all is well and that the imposters were actually hired by Tsunade to test their skills; however, she found out too late to stop herself from giving Naruto a Jūken after Naruto forgot the sign that was suppose to indicate he was the real Naruto.

Their mission does end in success. It turned out this mission was a ploy to increase and improve their teamwork skills. Most importantly, they don't have to worry about losing their status.


Nano Country
In the latest filler arc, Hinata, Naruto, and Chōji are sent to escort a group of peddlers from Nano country, which is being pillaged by three mysterious ninja brothers who use nature-elemental jutsu. The group from Konoha discover that among the peddlers was hidden the last heiress of the Nano Country nobility and that the three mysterious ninja were trying to kill her.

The princess believed Naruto was a living failure of a ninja because he listened to his emotions. Hinata defends Naruto stating that Naruto was always alone and he didn't have a family. Hinata also stated that Naruto has never thought about running away or abandoning people to save himself. She said Naruto works hard to gain respect and become the next hokage. The princess asked Hinata if she likes Naruto and Hinata just blushed. The princess figures it out and says she understands. However, when Hinata turns around the princess knocks her out with a rock and said that she has no intention of dying due to Hinata or Naruto. Naruto later finds Hinata and berates her for not being able to defend herself. Naruto runs ahead to find the princess and tells Hinata to find Chōji.

Hinata is unable to find Chōji, but she finds Naruto's headband on the ground. When she meets up with Naruto, he's fighting a powerful enemy that utilizes magnetic jutsu. Naruto tells Hinata that she will be in danger if she comes to help him and he falls down due to his injures. Hinata decides that she will protect him. She's no match for him at first, just narrowly escaping his magnetic attacks, but eventually turns his own magnetism techniques against him, causing him to become covered in a thick laver of iron particles and subsequently buried deep underground. She would have been buried, too, but Naruto and Chōji arrived in time to save her. Naruto is somewhat surprised that she won, later saying that he can't lose to her (in an encouraging way), and leaves her with Chōji as he goes to find the princess. A little later, Hinata and Chōji are captured by the third and most powerful brother. This filler arc is ongoing.

Naruto II arc

Hinata's vow to become stronger turns out not to be empty; like the rest of the "rookie nine", she passes the exam and becomes a Chūnin during Naruto's absence. She makes her Naruto II debut in Chapter 282, blossoming into a young woman, sporting longer hair. Hinata's feelings for Naruto seem to be only magnified by his long absence (possibly because his encouragement helped her greatly and they never really had any problems). She wasn't even able to bring herself to greet him, opting to hide instead and fainting when he rather loudly detects her after she makes a cry of surprise, or perhaps excitement as he says hi to her she faints again.

It is as of yet unknown how her skill has changed during the two and a half years Naruto was gone as she has yet to show any new techniques; however, it is reasonable to assume that she has attained at least the skills she has shown in the anime. Hinata seems like she was trying to think of something to say because she believed she wasn't ready to tell him what she always really wanted to tell Naruto. It is possible that she is unsure of herself since she hasn't had a chance to talk to Naruto in the past two and a half years. After all, he is the one who gave her the courage to believe in herself.


Trivia
Hyūga (日向) means "In the Sun" and is the name of a city in the Miyazaki Prefecture in Japan. "Hinata" as her first name is a pun, as it is another way to read this kanji and means essentially the same thing.
According to the official databook, Hinata's hobby is pressing flowers. Her favorite foods are Senzai (soft bean jam) and cinnamon rolls; her least favorite foods are crab and eel. Her favorite phrase is "Self-confidence".
Hinata seems to share similarities with a somewhat established stereotype(or archetype, depending on how one looks at it) of typical manga/anime girls - characterised by cuteness to the point of adorability(or an eerie beauty, as in the case of Rei Ayanami), introversion, dark and/or blue hair, a fierce resolve to work harder, and a crush on the unaware main character. The "Sailor Hinata" incident is consistent with this, as the uncharacteristic encounter where the main character is shocked by a side of the character he hasn't seen before, often involving nudity, is a recurring theme as well. Compare Shinobu Maehara, Nodoka Miyazaki, and partly Ami Mizuno (who is, ironically, Sailor Mercury).
Chapter 297 has Hinata in the title page with the phrase "Guided by the golden light now she steps into the sun." What this could allude to is unknown

cheese_whine top tht

heres a good pic of hinata in the future
and its nice and clear
