About
During her years in the Academy Ino met Sakura Haruno, a girl whose sensitivity about her large forehead got her picked on by others. Ino befriended her by giving her a ribbon that could accent her face and show others that her forehead didn't bother her. With Ino's friendship, Sakura came to develop her own identity and self-worth. As Sakura's confidence in herself grew, she developed a crush on Sasuke Uchiha, who Ino also had a crush on. When Sakura found out about this, she ended their friendship so that the two could properly compete for Sasuke's affection, beginning a bitter rivalry between the two. The two maintain this rivalry until the end of their match in the Chunin Exam, after which they begin to rekindle their friendship. Nevertheless, the two maintain a competitive relationship and constantly attempt to outdo the other.At first glance, Ino seems to be rather egocentric, apparently disliking Choji for his size and Shikamaru for his lack of motivation. She also seems to think highly of her appearance, as seen during the Chunin Exams when she attempts to seduce Neji Hyuga yet finds no success. Also, Ino may sometimes come off as selfish. While the latter trait may be factual, Ino in actuality cares very deeply for others' well-beings and maintains a strong bond with her teammates. Through their bond as the second generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho Trio, the three all wear the same type of earring: a small silver hoop. Her caring side also shows itself during the Chunin Exams, where she forces her team into battle in order to save Sakura Haruno.
As a member of the Yamanaka clan, Ino works in her family's flower shop and has become particularly talented in ikebana. The anime's Konoha 11 arc shows that she has been able to find other uses for her time in the flower shop, and can tell a person's profession by simply looking at the condition of their hands. The anime has also shown that Ino, like Sakura, has developed her own inner-self named "Inner Ino".
