Appearance

Yamame's long brown hair is worked into several large spikes jutting out all around her head, and her eyes are black. Covering only her nose and mouth is a dark mask, from either side of which a fine black line extends near her lips. Her clothing is a female cut of the shark-styled getup her two teammates also wear, though hers comes in light purple and bares a good deal of her cleavage.

Personality

Much like other small-time villains, Yamame believed herself to be quite powerful when in truth she was not, and her loyalty to Orochimaru ran deep.

History

In service to Orochimaru, Yamame appears in Naruto: The Cross Roads. Through the Hiding with Camouflage Technique she funnels chakra to bend light around herself and vanish from sight, and she has some skill with a range of weapons and with taijutsu. When the story unfolds, Kajika and his band set upon Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha as they await the return of Kakashi Hatake, who is off scouting for a kidnapped man called Genmai, seized to draw out the team and Sasuke above all. Kajika drags Sakura off to his hideout while two of his cohorts trade blows with the boys; the pair who return, however, are exposed as Naruto and Sasuke wearing disguises, and they at once round on their leader. Yamame's ultimate fate is left unanswered.
