Senn alot of ppl say this and I mean.. yeah, she was born in royalty, but her life was miserable. Constantly feeling like a failure and not loving yourself.
She had burden of her clan expectations, she did live comfortably but idk.. what do ya'll think.
For me It's Hinata.
She is more than just "Naruto." she is a person wanting to change herself, to prove to herself that she is not worthless as she thinks she is.
We had starting from a place of indecisiveness. She can't decide what move to use, who to help, how to fight, what to say. She is ruled by fear until she decides to emulate Naruto, watching someone persist through failure and realizing her own excuses for inaction don't hold up anymore.
We see such chanage starting from her facing Neji to proud failure speech to facing pain and inspirating ppl in war arc.
Her entire journey is about changing herself, pushing past insecurity when it matters most not suddenly being brave because death is near. She steps up against Neji and Pain despite her fear, not without it. Those aren about fear disappearing it's about refusing to let it control her anymore
She starts from extreme self-doubt and gradually grows into someone who can act in line with her values. . She stood up to Pain, on her own, because that's the hill she chose to die on. It's about her values and morals, not about trying to be Naruto.
So she had a good foundation, it just in shippuden she was largely sidelined just like other side characters.
