Pairings: None
Rating: T
Description: There are several things that should be known about Gaara to keep him in character.
Author's Note: It had to be done. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm bashing heterosexual pairings. I didn't mean too. :(
Warning: References to sex and such. :)
Disclaimer: This all based upon my personal opinion, and some of it is not actual fact… So… Yeah. -takes cover under her bed-

1. If Gaara were to ever decide to stop being asexual, he'd have a higher chance at being homosexual then heterosexual. He has made several bonds with people throughout his life. A ninety-nine percent of those bonds were made with fellow males: Naruto, Sasuke, Lee, and his brother Kankurou. The one percent that is female is the bond between him and his sister, Temari.

2. Contrary to popular belief, Gaara doesn't like sweet food. So that means no cookies… But, Gaara does like ground liver and salted tongue.

3. Gaara would never agree to an arranged marriage. He may be a committed Kazekage, but he still has problems with relationships. He would most likely refuse to engage to some woman (or man, it depends I suppose) and suggest for that man or woman to look into arranging a marriage with his siblings.

4. If Gaara were to ever decide to start a relationship with someone, sex with said person would be very, very awkward. With his inability to express himself that well, he would not make a very good lover. Whether it is a male partner or a female partner, it would be very strange.

5. Gaara has a higher chance of being abstinent than being sexually active.

6. He doesn't just faint in the woods. He has one of the best defenses in the world; he wouldn't just fall over in the woods and lay there waiting for someone to find him. Even with Shukaku extracted from him, his sand would help him at least a little. As an extra note; at least one of his siblings would be there to help him if he ever were to be attacked or what not.

7. Gaara doesn't just start crying on a whim. He doesn't cry anymore, to be straight forward, and most likely never will.

8. Gaara plus fluff does not equal a good thing. He'd most likely ruin the whole cute scene by doing something insensitive. As much as it is wonderful to write cute fluff with Gaara in it, he doesn't quite enjoy stuff such as that.

9. The rings around Gaara's eyes are not just caused by his insomnia. You see, when someone is lacking sleep, they get bags under their eyes. And no matter how much sleep you lose, it will always stay on the bottom. Now, Gaara has black on the tops of his eyes as well so this is a very strong sign that the rings around his eyes are a result of having the Ichibi inside of him. Just think of it like Naruto's streaks.

10. The 'ai' mark just above Gaara's left eye is not a tattoo. It's a scar.

11. Gaara doesn't like to be controlled. If he were to ever decide to have sex with a man, he wouldn't want to be controlled. (In other words, be on bottom. Or uke.) He would want to control the one he 'loved'. (In other words, be on top. Or seme.)

12. Gaara doesn't blush. He's pretty much incapable of doing it.

13. Gaara was born with eyebrows, but his sand shield wore them away. So now he has the allusion of no eyebrows.

14. Looking deeper into the fact that Gaara's sand shield 'waxed' his eyebrows; it is a good chance that Gaara doesn't have any body hair. So that means no fire crotch for our favorite redheaded murderer. Oh no!

15. Gaara rarely smiles. Something very important has to happen for him to smile.
