Ibara
CharacterIbara is an everyday resident of Konohagakure whose child attends the Academy in the same class as young Naruto Uzumaki. She stands among the villagers who could never see the boy as anything more than the fox demon bound inside him.
Appearance
Long, sleek hair of a dark brown frames Ibara's brown eyes. A headband in dusky pink crosses her brow, and she pairs a pale green top with a black, vest-style shirt worn open over it.
Personality
Ibara shares the village's common contempt for Naruto, seeing in him nothing but the Nine-Tails itself. That spite shows plainly in the satisfaction she takes when the boy fails to graduate with his classmates.
History
She first appears beside a fellow townswoman, Tsubaki. As the Academy hands down its results, the two are pleased that the boy carrying the Nine-Tails within him has been held back instead of advancing with his peers. Her name, written with the character for a thorny bush, means little more than a thorn.
