A character who alternates between a dangerously obsessive and a loving (deredere) personality.
Their affection mixes with extreme insecurities to create a type of love that is possessive, delusional, violently jealous, or even homicidal or downright insane. The feelings differ from character to character. Some direct their attacks against the one whom they desire, while others direct it against anyone who gets too close to the person they love.
This tag is for characters displaying this personality trait through their words or actions. Do not use it simply because the character is canonically yandere.
Examples
Notable characters
Gasai Yuno from Mirai Nikki, an example of aggression against anyone getting too close to her love interest.
