I guess we can say she is an decent character that get's outshined because of her obsessive fans? What I don't understand what is so outstanding about her, I mean, there are countless characters in animes that are like her, you know, the "shy moe girl", but none with the same attention that Hinata gets. Character like Orihime, Juvia and Miho also make the shy types, but they aren't by far as popular as Hinata is.
How do you feel about Hinata?

Alexander I think the real question to ask is just how many anti Sakura fans are out there? a lot of the Hinata fans are obviously Sakura haters and they only see the Hyuga as the perfect repalcement for Naruto when it concerns the "love interest" of the protagonist. Because she's cute, she's nice, she likes the hero since the beginning of the series and of course because she has big breast those are enough reasons for them to like her and give her a lot of popularity.
Hinata is the perfect love interest for Naruto in their eyes for qualities I have mentioned above, as long as its not Sakura the one who gets Naruto. Quite frankly without resolting to any bashing I think all those Hinata fans and anti Sakura fans are just jealous of Sakura that's mainly why they're obssession for Hinata comes from as well as their hatred for our favorite pink haired girl.
Sakura:
-is a main character of the manga (heroine important to the plot) Hinata is a secondary character (not important to the plot at all).
-She's the protagonist's love interest.
-She's one of the first people who acknowledged Naruto since the beginning of the manga.
-She understands Naruto's bond with Sasuke more than anyone (more than Hinata obviously, while she on other hand doesn't know the lenght of his bond with the Uchiha).
-She has become very close to Naruto (way more than Hinata) from someone she thought as annoying, to see him as a great teammate, to see him as a great friend and to eventually as a great love interest eventually leading to the development of slow romantic feelings.
-She's the one who keeps him in cheks like a dog on a leash whenever he acts stupid or perverted, she teaches him obedience (while Hinata well I won't even bother saying it).
-She's the only one who believes in him more than anyone in the village or probably the whole world, she has a lot of faith in him (Hinata on the other hand quite honestly I think she doesn't believe in him, she admires him and cares him because he's always trying hard but she doesn't has any faith in him).
-She risked losing her chance of being happy with Naruto by trying to kill Sasuke in order to protect him from the Uchiha and the possibility of getting capture by Akatsuki, resulting to his death for extraction of the Kyuubi (Hinata was willing to die protecting him I admire her for her sacrifice but I still see it as a selfish sacrifice).

I think we have got dozens of threads asking that same -or similar- question. Oh, well.
She is a very minor character whose existence is irrelevant to the plot.
If the legend about her origin is true (according that account, Hinata supposedly was a draft of a nameless villager. Then Kishimoto realized he needed a third member for Team 8, and chose using that draft instead of creating a new likeness for that character), then her role was going to be even more inisignificant, since she wouldn't even participate in the Chuunin Exams (notice the most of her appearances and almost all her relevant scenes happened in the Chuunin Exams arc), but Kishimoto used her in order to create more tension between Naruto and Neji prior to their battle.
After the Naruto vs Neji fight went down, her relevance vanished nearly altogether. She had no further purpose. That is because we barely saw her afterwards, and she never did something noteworthy. She even was used like comic relief for one scene.
Kishimoto used her again when he wanted closing the last dangling plot thread involving her (if she was in love with Naruto or not, and if she would ever reveal her feelings to him), and so she lost the last remnant of significance she had left. She might not show up ever again and it would not change one thing (her confession didn't change one thing, after all).
I don't feel anything about her. Usualy I like characters because I like their design, personality or powers. I don't find interesting the kind of stereotype Hinata is (yet, everything in fiction is a stereotype, and I can see past it if I find the execution is interesting. Sadly, that isn't the case with Hinata), I don't think she is beautiful or looks cool, and I don't find her power or fighting style too interesting (besides, Neji is more powerful, so he sort of outshines her).
However I don't dislike her neither I hate her nor think she is ugly or fat or dumb or pitifully weak or a failure or a stalker or everything else her haters call her.
Simply she is there. And I don't pay her attention.
Some of her followers can be tiring, going on and on and ON about how she is the prettiest, strongest ninja ever, how she is the most important character in the manga and everyone else are trash, looking clues for everywhere she and Naruto will hook up, and repeating she will have a very important role in the next arc -because she MUST- and getting shocked and amazed when she does not.
But I am not going to hate a character, pairing or series only because some fans may be exhasperant.
In a nutshell: I feel nothing about her.

@Grave - Mate, we don't fault your enthusiasm and you do give good points, but you don't have to cite a list of why NS works and NH doesn't in almost every thread. And we all know about the fans, and their attitudes towards certain characters, but you need to be careful that it doesn't turn into a bash fest. 
Remember, this thread is about our unbiased opinions on Hinata as a character, nothing more, and we want to keep it going for as long as we can, let it run its course. Okay, dude?

I feel sorry for her.
When Naruto forgot about her and her confession, I felt sorry for that shy, insecure, and silly girl I didn't like 'til that moment. I hope she'll forget about him and starts a new life.

True fact:
I hate both Naruto and Sakura, but for some strange reason I think they were made for each other.
You don't understand? Me neither... so stop asking already.

omg everything gravenimage said feels so true, well probably because it is .
And if you ask for my opinin , i don't like Hinata at all, i just don't find it possible to like her while cheereng for NaruSaku, really .
If you can't get someone out of your head,maybe theu are supposed to stay there.

I agree with most of the things you said gravenimage
my point about Hinata is :
- at the beginning of the manga, i liked her character, because she wouldn't hurt a bug you know, she tried hard to change what she didn't liked in herserlf.
For me, she's more admirative about Naruto than romantically involved !
I think she's making a mistake believing she's in love with Naruto.
She was admirative, and she wanted to be like him.
For me, this is NOT true love.
I may be wrong, but that's what I think
Demo, I never ever saw her differently than a secondary character.
I really don't understand how all those naruhina shippers got their crazy fandom about her and the pairing !! Oh maybe it was because of the anime !!!!! Hinata dancing at night in the water have made a lot of damage ! LOL
I don't think the fact that she's a secondary character would made her pairing with naruto impossible, but it would be like : "pop" of nowhere !
Just thinking that, make me wanna laugh !
Naruto always loved Sakura so much... his devotion for her is huge !
I really don't see him changing side like that... it's not like him.
but it's not the subject here ! lol sorry
Actually, what I think after she confessed : i'm impressed, because i would never ever imagined her telling to Naruto she loved him.
But i still see her as a secondary character, and Naruto hasn't run to her yet 0_o so...
I think fandom about their pairing are just hallucinating...
I don't hate her, she's a good character, but i truly think fans of her are imaginating things...
I think all those fans that truly think NaruHina will happen have a great lack of maturity in love... adults are seeing the love between Naruto and Sakura.
sorry about my english if it's not so good

My opinion about Hinata => Indifferent hate(d) her shyness, but liked how she looked up to Naruto because he never gave up.
But think that's a stupid reason to love someone.
I mean Naruto looked up to the 4th Hokage and wanted to surpass him so he could be respected as he was but he didn't love his father in a romantic way.

Otaru post is spot on. I'm smiling because its so true. Theirs hundreds of reasons why Naruto and Hinata would not work. sorry but shes just not right for him. Kushina wants someone like her and we knw who Naruto truly loves thats like her. the only female to enter his life that saved him from loneliness.. Sakura. Hes precious people are Team 7 and Iruka.
I like Hinata and im happy she was able to change. she barley knows Naruto she sees him to much as a role model and that blinds her to the real Naruto. plus her love for Naruto isn't really true love if you look at it. she was never there for him and when she jumped in during the Pain fight (Witch benefited her not Naruto) she made the situation worse and Naruto saved himself not Hinata it was selfish just like she said. as a background secondary character her development is finished now.

Well, my opinion of her goes from being anti to pro and from pro to anti. She is one of those characters that hasn't done almost nothing but gets too much love and made into this "goddess that controls the whole plot". It goes worse when some "fans" just "swap" her minor character (more like background character) status with Sakura's main character status.

*Sigh* can't we have a thread about a character in Naruto and not have it turned into some pairing discussion? we got the section for it already and it is not this one. Personally, I'm between like and dislike as far as Hinata is concerned. She's a good girl, really. Timid, nice and honest... but she just doesn't belong in the world where she is. a Shinobi world is simply not a place for a girl like her, it is a world where you either kill or be killed in battle, a girl like her would become nothing but cannon fodder (Ironically, that is exactly what happened to her so far.)

I don't like her as much as Sakura. But damm it I love her a lot as well. I loved her role during the chunin exams. She went beast on Neji even though she didn't win. She still showed a lot of character and courage during that arc.

Okay, so the title basically explains it. I'm editing this because I don't wanna get in trouble for bashing D: I'm not trying to x_x
So yeah, how do you feel about Hinata? Do you think she's awesome, cute, etc. Or do you just not like her? Er.. if you don't like her, give legitimate reasons.

I don't dislike Hinata as a person but sometimes she just kind of creeps me out in her obsession with Naruto(maybe because she gets in the way of Naruto and Sakura's growing relationship) anyway yeah nice,cool,a little shy and sometimes i wish she didnt have byaakugan because of the veins and maybe what she's looking at with those eyes of hers.HAHA!
