"Being large is your strength." That was what my father always said. I tried my best to believe him, too. It was hard, though. The other kids would always leave me out of games, or insult me if I tried to join. One time they called me fat, and I just snapped. I think I broke one guy's nose.

If it weren't for Shikamaru, I probably wouldn't have any friends. He was the only one who didn't care that I wasn't very athletic. He's never called me fat, or insulted me. He actually thinks of me as a friend.
