Basic Information
Name: ロックリー Rock Lee
Nickname: Handsome Green Beast
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Clan: None
Looks: == Appearance ==
[[File:Chapter 179.jpg|thumb|left|Lee while in the Academy, when first joining Team Guy, and as a genin.]]
Lee possesses very thick eyebrows (leading to the nickname {{translation|"Centipede Brows"|ゲジマユ|Gejimayu|engtv=Bushy Brows}} by Naruto) and large, rounded black eyes with prominent lower eyelashes. During his academy days, Lee's hair was much longer and fastened in a braid that, along with his style of dress, gave him a more traditional Chinese appearance. When first joining Team Guy Lee's appearance changed drastically. He had shorter hair than before that curved upwards in the back. He still maintained the Chinese appearance, since he wore a robe and a martial arts belt around his waist. After joining Might Guy's team, his appearance changed considerably to emulate his idol and sensei.
His hair is now cut and styled into a bowl-cut style like Guy, and he also began wearing the same attire, consisting of a green jumpsuit, orange leg warmers, and a red forehead protector worn as a belt. The only difference in his attire were the bandages he regularly wears around his hands and wrists, which also cover a set of stitches on his left hand,<ref name="C38P13">''Naruto'' chapter 38, page 13</ref> a trait that was due to his rigorous taijutsu training. In Guy's youth however, it is revealed that he also wore bandages.<ref> ''Naruto'' chapter 502, page 20</ref>
During Part II, his appearance has changed the least out of his friends. The most noticeable changes are that he has grown considerably taller, and wears a [[flak jacket]], as a chūnin, further emulating his sensei, however instead of wearing it open, Lee's is zipped up.
Personality: == Personality ==
[[File:Lee Pose.png|thumb|Lee's "nice guy" pose.]]
Lee is extremely energetic, single-minded, and over-enthusiastic. He is characterized as being the epitome of a "nice guy", having assumed many of Guy's personality quirks. One such trait is his apparent lack of common sense, believing at times that he can get what he wants by not wanting it. At other times, he takes copious notes, but forgets that he cannot check them during a fight. He has a keen sense of honour, and respects his opponents, refusing to hold grudges against those who have defeated him, and returning favours to those that have helped him. This was shown by his befriending of [[Gaara]], forgiving him for crushing his arm and leg — injuries that nearly ended his career as a shinobi. Lee feels others should show the same respect towards their opponents, and is disgusted whenever someone is unnecessarily cruel to their enemies.
Lee is known for speaking respectfully to others, being very proper in both English and Japanese language versions, and never using contractions or swearwords. He also uses formal Japanese, applying proper titles ("-san", "-kun", etc.) to anyone he meets. However, Lee refers his team-mates [[Neji Hyūga]] and [[Tenten]] just by their given names, implying that he is close enough to them to use such an informal way to speak to them. His relationship with [[Guy]] has also caused him to acquire many of Guy's traits; in addition to his personality, his dedication to his promises, as well as his belief that one cannot dislike food, are characteristics of Guy. Lee also carries this small book and pencil to recall the various bits of information Guy has given him over time.
Lee's attempts to prove and better himself are recurring themes for his actions throughout the series. He is generally optimistic, and believes that, with hard work and passion, he can surpass a natural genius, but can be prone to depression when faced with setbacks. His drive to succeed was initially most evident with his rivalry with Neji, having learned from Guy that having a rival will provide incentive to succeed. Neji, a "genius" ninja, found Lee's efforts of bettering himself to be in vain, and believed that Lee would be a "failure" for the rest of his life.
As such, Lee resolved to prove Neji wrong, and confronted another "genius", [[Sasuke Uchiha]], in an attempt to test his worth. While Lee maintained the desire to defeat Neji in a fight throughout the [[Chūnin Exam Arc]], after Neji's eventual defeat by [[Naruto Uzumaki]], another so-called "failure", Lee became less interested in this goal. Neji's rejection of his previous belief in fate also contributed to this, as he now respects Lee, believing that he will surpass the gifted with enough work.
Shortly after his introduction to Team 7, Lee revealed that he liked [[Sakura Haruno]], asking her to be his girlfriend and vowing to protect her immediately after they met. While she did not seem to share these feelings for him, and considered him weird, Lee maintained these feelings, and went out of his way to help her throughout the Chūnin Exams. Sakura became more appreciative after this, and punches Naruto whenever he insults Lee.
Despite this, Sakura does not seem to return any romantic feelings for Lee, as she refers to him with the more formal "Lee-san", as opposed to "Lee-kun". After the Exams' conclusion, Lee's interest in Sakura went largely unaddressed in the manga. It is occasionally referenced in the anime, such as when Naruto fought Lee in the Lee's Dōjō Arc; Naruto transformed into Sakura, causing Lee to forget about the fight long enough for Naruto to attack him.

=== Chūnin Exam Arc ===
[[File:Lee attacks Sasuke.png|thumb|left|Lee attacking Sasuke.]]
Having not been allowed to participate the year before, Team Guy took part in the [[Chūnin Exams]] along with the [[Rookie Nine]]. They initially tried to avoid attention by acting weak, but Lee accidentally let slip his true strength by interfering with a fight between [[Sasuke Uchiha]] and [[Kotetsu Hagane]]. He also fell in love with [[Sakura Haruno]]. Soon afterwards, he confronted Sasuke, challenging him to a fight to see how he fared against the [[Sharingan]], but not before knocking out [[Naruto Uzumaki]], who tried to fight with Lee himself. Guy interrupted Lee and Sasuke's fight, however, when Lee tried to use the [[Front Lotus]], and Lee was forced to do laps around the practice range before he could proceed onto the first phase of the exams. With Tenten's help, he gained the answers for the written portion, and proceeded to the second round.
[[File:Lee Appears To Help Sakura.PNG|thumb|Lee comes to Sakura's aid.]]
After spending their first few days in the [[Forest of Death]] gathering supplies, Team Guy split up in search of other teams. Lee came across Sakura being attacked by [[Team Dosu]], and went to her aid. He used his Front Lotus on [[Dosu Kinuta]], but he survived the attack because of [[Zaku Abumi]] using his [[Decapitating Air Wave]] in the ground, and Lee was left unable to defend himself from a counterattack from Dosu. Neji and Tenten soon arrived to help, but didn't have to because [[Sasuke]] woke up, and once he recovered they moved onto the preliminaries.
[[File:Front Lotus Lee.JPEG|thumb|left|Lee using Front Lotus on Gaara.]]
In the preliminaries, Lee was matched against [[Gaara]]. When his standard attacks proved unable to bypass Gaara's defences, he removed his ankle weights to increase his speed. When this too failed, he attempted the Forward Lotus, but Gaara was able to escape at the last minute. His options running out if he was to win and prove himself, Guy allowed him to use the [[Reverse Lotus]]. Gaara survived by turning his gourd to sand and cushion him, and the techniques took a massive toll on Lee's body. Gaara added to Lee's injury by crushing his left arm and leg. Though Guy intervened to stop Gaara from killing him, Lee got to his feet to continue the battle, despite being completely unconscious.
Because of his injuries, [[Medic-nin|medics]] predicted, that even if Lee recovered, his injuries would prevent him from ever being able to be a [[shinobi]] again. He nevertheless tried to train while he was in the hospital, something that only worsened his condition. When he was asleep, Gaara came to his room and tried to kill him, but he was stopped by Naruto and [[Shikamaru Nara]] and later by Guy. To try and cheer Lee up, Guy took him to watch the final round matches, but they were surprised when they arrived to find out that Neji had been defeated by Naruto. Envious of Naruto, Lee then watched Gaara's fight with Sasuke, and marvelled at how quickly he had learned to emulate Lee's speed. Before the fight could finish, however, the [[invasion of Konoha]] began, and Lee was knocked unconscious.

=== Sasuke Retrieval Arc ===
[[File:Leaf Whirlwind.jpg|thumb|Lee attacks Kimimaro.]]
Over the coming weeks, Guy tried a number of his own remedies to heal Lee, though none of his efforts worked. It was not until news of [[Tsunade]] becoming [[Hokage]] reached them that they found hope. But, when she examined Lee, she informed him of the dire situation: his broken bones and torn muscles have healed, but fragments of bone had lodged in his spinal column, and removing them would involve an extensive operation that only she was capable of. When Tsunade offered him an operation that carried a fifty percent chance of returning him to his former state, or dying in the process, Lee was hesitant to accept the operation. Though Lee was worried he would die in the operation, thanks to Guy's influence, he accepted the surgery. Upon overhearing Naruto, [[Chōji Akimichi]], [[Kiba Inuzuka]], and [[Shikamaru Nara]] talking about the mission to bring Sasuke back to Konoha, Lee suggested that Neji go with them. Lee was disappointed that he couldn't go with them, still needing to go through his surgery that was scheduled for later that day<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 184</ref> (In the anime, Lee was recovering after having his surgery done the day before<ref>''Naruto'' episode 110</ref>). In the end, Lee successfully survived the operation.
[[File:Kimimaro vs Gaara Rock Lee.jpg|thumb|left|The final moments of the fight with Kimimaro.]]
Once Lee was well enough to move, he left the hospital to follow them and provide assistance. He caught up with Naruto, who was in the middle of a battle with [[Kimimaro]], and told him to go after Sasuke while he dealt with Kimimaro. At first, it seemed Kimimaro overmatched him, but after Lee drank some sake that he had mistaken for his medicine, he began to outclass Kimimaro. Though Lee's anticipated moves were unpredictable to Kimimaro, he revealed his [[Kekkei Genkai]], [[Shikotsumyaku]], which, combined with Lee sobering up, easily took over the battle. Before his attack landed on Lee, Gaara arrived just in time to save him. Even though Lee insisted to fight side-by-side with him, he knew he was only getting in Gaara's way.
For the rest of the battle, Lee watches and is amazed by Gaara's new abilities. Even though Gaara's new techniques completely buried Kimimaro, Kimimaro counters by turning the battlefield into a forest of bones, which Lee and Gaara escaped by hanging onto [[Desert Suspension|a pair of small clouds made out of sand]]. Kimimaro then emerged from one of the bones, preparing to kill the two at point blank range. They were saved, however, as Kimimaro finally succumbed to his disease and died. After the battle, Lee and Gaara reflect upon Kimimaro's purpose, then the two return to Konoha.

=== Kazekage Rescue Arc ===
[[File:Lee6.PNG|thumb|Rock Lee in Part II.]]
Team Kakashi was sent on a mission to rescue Gaara from [[Akatsuki]]. When Tsunade began to worry that they might have problems, she sent Team Guy as back-up. On their way to a rendezvous point, they were attacked by [[Kisame Hoshigaki]]. Kisame was quite angered that Guy didn't remember him from their fight in Part I. Kisame soon captured Lee, Neji, and Tenten, but by opening the sixth gate, Guy ended the fight quickly, and they moved on.
[[File:Rising Wind.jpg|thumb|left|Rock Lee and Guy attack Kisame.]]
Once Kakashi's team arrived after them, the two squads found out that there was a barrier on the Akatsuki headquarters, something Team Guy volunteered to take down. They split up and removed seals spread out across the area, bringing down the barrier but triggering a trap: they were attacked by clones of themselves. When they were about to be defeated, Lee figured out how to beat the clones - by being stronger than when they met them. With that, Lee uses a new technique to defeat his clone. Later on, they reunited with Team 7 and, once Gaara was revived, they headed back home. As they left, Guy was carrying Kakashi for a piggyback-ride. Lee, thinking it was training, told Neji to get on his back so that they might race back to Konoha, but was forcefully rejected.

=== Shinobi World War Arc ===
[[File:Leaf Coiling Whirlwind.png|thumb|Lee and Guy attack Haku.]]
During the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], Lee is assigned to the [[Third Division]] alongside Sakura and Guy. He is seen fretting over his sensei's condition while Sakura tries to heal him. When members of the [[Surprise Attack Division]] are attacked by the [[Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation|revived]] shinobi, the Third Division arrives in time to intercept the attack. He is then seen along with the [[Third Division]] clashing against the reincarnated ninja. Upon Kakashi's orders, they group into a [[Manji Formation]], Lee promises that no matter what he will protect Sakura; she however tells him to also be careful as last time Zabuza was able to penetrate the formation from its weak point; the centre. He and Guy later intercepted Haku's assault with the [[Leaf Coiling Whirlwind]]. In the anime, after the [[Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist]] were summoned, Guy told Lee to chase after [[Pakura]] while he went after [[Gari]]. After a long day battling, Lee and the recuperates with his remaining division members as night falls.
With the resumption of battle the next day, Lee sticks close to [[Sai]] who had been tasked with sealing the revived [[Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist]]. Lee tells Sai not to worry and just concentrate on the sealing while he would protect him. When [[Naruto]]'s [[shadow clone]] arrives on the battlefield, Lee exclaims that with him here their numbers would increase. However, Naruto tells them that he wouldn't be able to perform the [[Shadow Clone Technique]] in his current state, so they'd have to defeat the new wave of [[White Zetsu Army]] clones with quality of techniques instead of quantity in numbers.
After being informed by [[Inoichi]] from HQ that Naruto and [] were fighting the "''[[Tobi|masked Madara]]''", Lee and the rest of the [[Konoha 11]] rush to his aid. As he runs, he spurs Sai — who was lamenting the fact that he could not use his [[Super Beast Imitating Drawing]] technique to get to Naruto faster — onwards telling him that now was the time to respond to the heroic efforts of those fighting Tobi.

History: == Background ==
During his time as a [[Academy Student|student]] in the [[Academy]], Lee proved to have no talent for [[ninjutsu]] and [[genjutsu]]. As he was mocked by his peers because of this, Lee persevered, focusing on [[taijutsu]].
When Lee eventually graduated he was added to Team Guy along with [[Neji Hyūga]] and [[Tenten]]. During the team's first meeting, Lee vowed to become a powerful ninja without using [[ninjutsu]] or [[genjutsu]]. Neji laughed at him, but their sensei, [[Might Guy]], took a special interest in Lee. He encouraged Lee to keep at it and, in time, began teaching him powerful forms of taijutsu.

~Approved~ it's not a very great choice to have Lee as your first bio, but if you really want it...You do not get the 8IG and you can't use ninjutsu with this bio.
