Hinata Hyuuga is an interesting character. She's one of my favorites on the show. Hinata is very quiet, secluded, and shy. She usually avoids social events, and she has a large affection for Naruto, which is sadly, not returned. (Or is it?)

Her cousin, Neji Hyuuga, hates her because she is part of the main house of the Hyuuga clan. She tries to become friends with him, but he is reluctant. Hinata is paired up in team 8 with Shino and Kiba.

Hinata resides in the Main House of the Hyuuga Clan (while her cousin, Neji Hyuuga, lives in the Branch House). Hinata seems to have weak Hyuuga blood in her and has not mastered the secret arts of their clan (for instance the Byakugan which is a technique that allows the user to see chakara points and find where they are).

She dislikes fighting and is very shy. She also developed a crush on Naruto which causes her additional shyness. She knows a lot about medicines but she is not confident of her abilities. With the encouraging words of her secret crush, Naruto, she gains more confidence and even stands up to her cousin, Neji.
