What are dere types?
“Dere” comes from deredere, a Japanese word for being lovey-dovey. Fans add it to other words to name archetypes: tsuntsun (prickly) + dere = tsundere. These archetypes are mostly used for anime girls, but anyone can have them.

|---|---|---|---|
| Tsundere | harsh, prickly | caring | Taiga Aisaka (Toradora!) |
| Kuudere | cool, calm | quietly warm | Rei Ayanami (Neon Genesis Evangelion) |
| Dandere | shy, silent | sweet when comfortable | Shoko Komi (Komi Can’t Communicate) |
| Deredere | openly kind | kind | Tohru Honda (Fruits Basket) |
| Yandere | sweet | dangerously obsessed (fiction trope) | Yuno Gasai (Future Diary) |
| Genki | loud, energetic | energetic | Chika Fujiwara (Kaguya-sama: Love Is War) |
