Crush: When Arai was younger[5 yrs old], she had a puppy crush on her best friend, Sasuke Uchiha. As she grows older[11 yrs old]her crush shifts over to the hyper and gold-hearted Naruto Uzumaki(Arai eventually falls for the loyal and wild Kiba Inuzuka[mainly in Timeskip[Shippuuden]]and marries him later on in their lives atthe age of 19/20 lol x3)
Personality: She is a very loud and outgoing girl. When you first meet her, she wont fully open up her wild side to you but as time goes along and you get to know her, watch out for the fireworks! She's a riot! She is optimistic and very enthusiastic as well with such high self esteem[Too much self esteem if ya ask me >>; Arai: What are you TALKING about?! You ARE me and we're the EXACT same, you idiot!; Me: Who're you callin' idiot, idiot?! *they fight*]Absolutely nothing could bring her down...well, maybe except for the death of a loved one. Nonetheless, she is rather driven and very kind to her friends. Not to mention extremely loyal. She would do just about anything for them and even risk her own life to save their's. She is like the bright color orange and the sun shiny yellow.
Arai's Story: Arai has been a happy little girl with her family of six. The happiness could only last for so long... When she turns 6 years old with her twins Ayumi and Kojiro, the Takameshi estate was bombarded by elite assassins from the Village of the Cloud and Sound. Lightning bolts and sound waves were sent through every part of their mansion-like home. As Keiji and Amarante raced across the house to save their children, they were cut off by the falling ceiling. They were amazing shinobi's so it was no hassle to get through the pieces of falling ceiling. As they got near Keisuke's room[he was 11 at the time]he was already running towards them with Ayumi at hand. He was bringing her to safety. Keiji took Keisuke and Ayumi into his arms as Amarante kept going on for Kojiro and Arai.[~*~]In Kojiro and Arai's room, a huge, roaring fire was blocking every escape that Kojiro and Arai could have taken. They were hiding under a big blanket to help keep the smoke from getting in them easily. Arai, scared to death, crying as Kojiro held her close, trying to be strong, as he was brought to tears as well. Amarante broke into their room and was able to save them both easily. Amarante ran with Arai in her arm and Kojiro holding onto her other hand tightly. Skipping scenes: Amarante was an honorable and strong shinobi/kunoichi. One of the best in her time. But that night of July the 1st was the night she died saving her two youngest children: Kojiro and Arai. Kojiro and Amarante lost contact with their father and other siblings. Sasuke Uchiha, Arai's best friend welcomed them into his home for a month because that was all his father would let. After the month ended Arai and Kojiro went to the Hyuuga Manor-their mothers' family-and stayed. It wasn't long until Arai was kidnapped by Village of the Sound ninjas. They made her a citizen of their country and made a small deal with her[later to be known]

Many years later, Arai is back at Konohagakure! Her true home and country! She is now 12 years old and has escaped from the Sound Village with her stallion, Sundance and her canine pet, Channo. A few days later, Arai is a Genin and on a team with 2 other new shinobis: Kike Hatake and Seth Nagakura and their sensei Hiroki Nakishiyo and co-sensei Ayuka Satasuri
