Personality

Ami comes across as swaggering and fond of picking on Sakura, singling out the girl's wide forehead for ridicule. The anime frames her as a popular ringleader thick with arrogance, certain she stood above both Sakura and Ino and reliant on her companions, whose presence she assumed would always shield her.

History

Ami turns up in a memory shared by Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno of their Academy years. During a kunoichi lesson she joined Kasumi and Fuki in mocking Sakura's forehead, until Ino dropped a flower she claimed was poisonous into Ami's gaping mouth, sending Ami scurrying off to report to their instructor Suzume. The anime also slots her into a Naruto Uzumaki flashback set during shuriken practice, where she features among the girls smitten with Sasuke Uchiha.
