Some stories might have a plotline where the oc is a foreign ninja visiting the village. Shikamaru is assigned to show her around, and they start to bond over their different views on ninja life. In other cases, the oc could be a healer who often takes care of Shikamaru after his missions. Their interactions during his recovery lead to a deeper connection. There are also plotlines where the oc challenges Shikamaru intellectually, which he really enjoys, and this mutual respect forms the basis of their romantic relationship.

The oc can be well - developed by giving her a unique backstory. For example, if she has a tragic past like losing her family in a ninja war, it can shape her personality and actions.

Her relationships with other characters in the story, apart from Shikamaru, such as having a rival or a best friend, can add depth to her character.
