tsundere

A character who alternates between a cold (tsuntsun) and loving (deredere) personality.

Tsundere characters are initially cold, temperamental, scolding, and sometimes even hostile, before gradually showing a warmer and friendlier side over time. Tsundere characters are generally more comedic than yandere characters, however this character type can be played more seriously as well.

This tag is for characters displaying this personality trait via their words or actions. A stereotypical example is offering a Valentine's Day gift, but telling the recipient something akin to "I just had some extra, it's not like I like you or anything."
