Sakura's my favorite character, too! I won't bore you all with my endless ranting on how awesome she is, but I feel that she's really similar to me, and she's also the character who feels the most 'real' out of all of them. Most people can't relate to Sasuke, Naruto, Gaara, Neji, Hinata, etc. because they haven't had such hard lives. But Sakura's goals and backstory seem more real and easy to relate to, and her troubles are accurate for a 12-year-old girl--lovelorn, feeling useless, etc. I personally think that Naruto is one of the easiest people to relate to on the show. He tries so hard to step out of the box that people made for him and tries to accomplish a goal he's had all his life. He's taking control of his life instead of letting it crush him. He's faced prejudice and ridicule for things he has no control over and we have or will all face that in our life. Naruto also likes Sakura, the person who has no interest in him because she's too enamored with someone she thinks is "better". Naruto keeps trying to work so that he eventually will become the man that will capture her affection, not her anger. Sakura to me doesn't seem like the sort of person to really take into account the feelings of others, at least not at first. She always seemed to be wallowing in self-pity or having a fit ant either Ino or Naruto. She's matured a lot in the shipuuden episodes and I like her character a heck of a lot better now but Sakura still isn't my favorite character.

I consider Sakura a carbon copy of me with pink hair and social skills. It's so difficult to relate to Naruto characters (for me, at least), and Sakura really brings the show back down to a normal level. It's refreshing to see normal twelve-year-olds with normal problems and normal flaws.
I don't really see it like she doesn't take into account the feelings of others, but that she misinterprets them or doesn't quite see the consequences her actions might have on others at first. It's not that she doesn't care what other people are feeling--in the very first episode, she feels empathy for Naruto and tries to smile at him and invite him to lunch--it's that she's often caught up in her own problems.
I think that it's a wonder she didn't completely lose hope in her career. With a boy with a superpowerd demon sealed inside of him, the heir to a clan with a deadly bloodline limit, and a guy who's the son of a legend and practically a legend himself for teammates, it must be terribly hard to compete when you weren't born/given super-amazing abilities.

Yeah, but she learned from a legend and she will probably become one herself!

Well, I think she knew that her team was quite exceptional. If anything, being on that team made her work harder because honestly, I don't think she wanted to be overshadowed by Naruto of all people.

Next to Tsunade, I think so. Ino can heal but how well can she? She can?! Sakura's my favorite character, too! I won't bore you all with my endless ranting on how awesome she is, but I feel that she's really similar to me, and she's also the character who feels the most 'real' out of all of them. Most people can't relate to Sasuke, Naruto, Gaara, Neji, Hinata, etc. because they haven't had such hard lives.

Naruto is a bit symbolic and has worked hard to be where he is now. And people did not drag him down with there comments. It just encouraged him to do better and prove them wrong. Yes. She defentally does not want to be showed up. She is like a girl you would meet at school. Not like a depressing avenger (which you can also find at some schools XP)

Sasuke can't summon snakes, though, and he's been with Oro for three years.

Maby he has, just chooses not to use them. Or maby Orochimaru offered, but he truened it down because he does not want to rely on snakes to help him.
That would be so cool! But then again it is already done.

Yeah, almost all the girls can heal at least a little. I guess None of the boys wanted to heal. Can anyone imagine Shino healing people? Ehhh...

I can relate to Naruto or in some ways Gaara.. I was and am abused by my father and i am shunned by society for being different... though i have my other family members and some friends to help me along . so guess I'm a mix of the two.. only I'm a girl .. If that makes any difference
