Biography:
Gaara is the youngest son of
the Fourth Kazekage
and the younger brother of Temari and Kankuro. In order to
create
the ultimate weapon for the Sand Village, his father ordered the
One-Tailed Shukaku to be sealed within hide during his birth.
Chiyo was responsible for the task, but Gaara’s mother, Karura’s, life
was sacrificed in the process. She cursed Sunagakure and
wished Gaara to avenge her death. Gaara was named by his mother and his name roughly translates to “self loving carnage.” The character above Gaara’s left eye is the word for ‘love’ from his name. The Shukaku 
inside of Gaara has a powerful will and
seeks
to escape at any opportunity. Gaara could not have a peaceful
night’s rest because the Shukaku can take over if he falls
into a
deep sleep. But being the host to the Shukaku also granted
Gaara
the protection of sand and the ability to manipulate it.
However,
this ability can react spontaneously if Gaara is
threatened in anyway
and has led to many instances where villagers were injured or
killed. Even though Gaara did not do so intentionally, his
father
began to view him as a failed experiment and a threat to the
village. Yashamaru
was
Karura’s brother and Gaara’s main caretaker after
her
death. He showed kindness to Gaara but actually blamed him
for
his sister’s death. When the Fourth Kazekage gave
him the
choice of personally assassinating Gaara, Yashamaru did not hesitate to
comply. However, Yashamaru failed and was  killed
by
Gaara’s
sand defenses. Before he died, he told Gaara that his mother
never loved him and neither did he. The incident pushed Gaara
over the edge and made him into the psychopath as he is seen in the
first part of the series.
After battling Naruto,
Gaara came to realize that he can find a new purpose in life by
fighting to protect those he loved; and in return they will love him
back. He worked hard to regain the trust of his siblings and
villagers, and in part II he became the Fifth Kazekage of
Sand.
But during Deidara
and Sasori’s
attack on Sunagakure, Gaara was defeated and had the tailed beast
inside him extracted by Akatsuki. Subsequently, Gaara lost
his
life, but was revived thanks to Chiyo’s sacrifice.
