Sakura Haruno (also known as Sakura Haruno-Uchiha after the timeskip) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga Naruto.
Brief description:
- She's a kunoichi (female ninja) from Konohagakure (the Hidden Leaf Village).
- Member of Team 7 along with Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and their sensei Kakashi Hatake.
- In Part I (pre-timeskip), she's portrayed as:
- Intelligent and book-smart (especially in ninja theory and chakra control)
- Initially very focused on her crush on Sasuke
- Somewhat insecure about her abilities compared to her teammates
- Possesses naturally excellent chakra control
- After the time skip (in Naruto Shippuden), she becomes:
- One of Tsunade's direct students
- An extremely powerful medical ninja
- Exceptionally strong physically (able to shatter the ground and destroy buildings with pure strength thanks to precise chakra control)
- More mature, confident, and independent
- Still deeply cares about both Naruto and Sasuke
Her most iconic traits include her signature pink hair, green eyes, red qipao-style outfit (early series), and later the red sleeveless top with the Uzumaki clan's spiral symbol after the final battle.
She's widely recognized for her growth from a somewhat stereotypical "fangirl" character into one of the strongest and most capable kunoichi in the series.
