Temari (てまり) is Nadeshiko Fujisaki's first Guardian Character. She represents Nadeshiko's desire to be more mannered and become a Japanese dancer. Her companion is an outgoing character named Rhythm. Nadeshiko and Temari went to Europe to study Japanese dancing.
Sometime later, Nadeshiko returned to Japan in her true "gender". Temari, however, went back to her egg before she returned to Japan because Nadeshiko was disheartened.

Temari's appearance is a fair-skinned Guardian Character with purple hair that is tied into a large, straight ponytail, with a pair of Sakura flowers. Her attire consists of a light-pink traditional kimono with patterns of pink flowers on her sleeves. Underneath her kimono, she wears geta (a Japanese pair of shoes).
Possible Sex[]
Nagihiko is a boy, but he is a tomgirl, so Temari may be female because she was born from Nadeshiko's wish to be a true Japanese dancer. However, it's a tradition for Fujisaki boys to dress as girls for dancing, citing a theory that Temari may be a boy.

Temari is mostly quiet and ladylike, but when something goes wrong, like when someone messes up the stage, she and Nadeshiko dance in or a rat appears in their house and makes her feel disrespectful, she Character Changes with Nadeshiko and becomes more aggressive and fierce-tempered, attacking with a naginata and speaks with a Hiroshima dialect. Temari is also very well-mannered and in one of the earlier episodes, she tells Kiseki that she doesn't want to crawl on the floor because her kimono will get dirty. The Shugo Chara!
