Is there a term for a yandere, but doesn’t kill? They do all the normal yandere stuff apart from murder.

Hello! It was brought to my attention by a Fandom Staff member that the dark theme was giving him eye-strain so he suggested I change it. I never used the dark theme myself, but I decided to give it a complete overhaul!

Old Design:

New Design:

Instead of the brighter pink color, I decided to go for a much darker one that almost looks a bit black to help contrast better with the dark pink text. I also made the color of the tabs a lighter pink to help with visibility for the tabs. I think it looks a lot nicer and is easier to read, myself, but what do you guys think?

A character who doesn't have emotions even no feelings but got their emotions back because of their love interest

Character: Ayano Aishi (Shown about her backstory on the creator of Yandere Simulator's (AKA Yanderedev)'s video on YouTube)

If a character stays emotionless (without dere or gire side). What would it be?

Character: Δiden (Shown on kaatie's twitter (X) post about Δiden's emotions is shown to be all neutral.)

It's not kuu or dan. They are not cool or shy.

After the 23rd I'll have to return my school computer, so I'll no longer edit under this account

Senshidere

Senshidere is a term of a character who is sensitive around their love interest.

Meaning:

The word "senshitibu" means sensitive on Japanese, while "deredere" meaning to be lovestruck

Personality: sensitive, shy, embarrassed, lovely, kind, caring

Similar Japanese Archetypes:

1. Hajidere (Teredere)

WARNING/TRIGGER: Mention of death

Kinger's quote mentioned of Queenie's (AKA Kinger's wife) death (abstracted):

"I'm normally not too good with memories. But being surrounded by darkness always… brings me back to a certain time. Right after my wife had… had abstracted… I don't recall the exact string of events, but we both ended up in the fort together. And it was dark. The darkness seemed to calm her down a bit. The harsh, jagged edges smoothed out, and she didn't seem aggravated anymore. She wasn’t the same as before, but she was calm enough to touch one last time… before she got sent to the cellar."

"Yeah.. she was funny, creative, really into entomology... I used to hate bugs, but... she somehow got me to like them... *sigh* it's not the most cheerful memory, but... it's one I at least have control over."

Images of Queenie:

Kinger with abstracted Queenie. Kinger shows not to be fear of her, because he is Queenie's husband. Kinger is very sad because of Queenie's abstraction and death.

So, what is Queenie's dere type? :D

she is not shindere because she is not a ghost after her death(abstracted).

Translate Indonesia to English(by me):

Funny Fighters

Asuki

& tips with jelly lyza

Best Support

Dere side:

Quotes I heard by Asuki

"Hello everyone, welcome to my review show!"

"A brand new day, a fresh new start!"

The last one when she uses her ultimate power, I forgot-

She is a healer and the best support for teams.

Gire side:

Fighting enemies is just her task. Funny Fighters is an online game and it's all ages ( i think?). Their task is to win the game. Some minigames are different like BR Solo, BR Duo, 5vs5 Heist, Solo, Solo DeathMatch, 4vs4, 3vs3 Arena, Gold rush (4vs4) and new events by the big update.

Funny Fighters

I formerly play this game on my phone, but I found lots of characters and skin (even tho I'm broke in this game but I am really good at it)

I would say that my favorite character, Asuki is possible deregire and deredere. She can heal her teammates and she can fight other peoples as well.

The other one, Peach, I think she is kuudere and kuugire. She is a blade/sword to fight people (only if her ultimate power is ready). Her face looks like "ö" kinda reminds me of dandere, but she looks like kuudere. Idk if she looks cool.

I will find other character's personality and quote on this game as fast as possible

For some other skins makes their personality were different (idk all of the skins).

There is only the Western version of it

I thought I'd start making update posts here whenever I change the definition of an archetype so it's easier to notice.

Official Media has been discovered!

Recently an official Japanese light novel using the terms "dandere" and "hajidere" has been discovered, which is exciting for two reasons:

1. Although it was discovered that dandere is a Western creation, it can now be considered an official Japanese dere type!

2. Initially the "hajidere" name was thought to be an unofficial name with the discovery of a manga titled "Teredere" that used the same archetype, however, this new discovery means that both names can be considered official. Since hajidere was the name it became popular under in the Western community that type has been moved back to its original name!

Official Media comes with official definitions!

With both of these types now having an official use they are no longer subject to personal opinion on what they mean so the definitions stated in the Japanese light novel are being used to slightly change the meaning of both types. This isn't a major change but it does focus on the correct aspects of both types:

--------------------

Dandere: It appears that the meaning used in the Japanese light novel is actually the original meaning of the dere type in the Western community as well: that is silent and expressionless characters who become dere. It seems that over the years, the meaning kept getting stretched as more and more people confused it for kuudere and it became a type for shy characters as opposed to silent/dan(mari) characters. However, since this type is not popular in Japan the meaning never changed and remained with the original definition.

An example of a dandere character would be Junta Shiraishi from Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible!.

Junta is a character who is shy yes, but the way his shyness manifests is in the form of a guy who never shows any emotions and never speaks. Even if he misses a day of school nobody notices that he was gone because that's how invisible his presence is. Actually even when he does show up they still think he's absent and forget about him lol, well other than Kubo that is.

The only person he ever talks to is Kubo, the girl who got a crush on him after watching how hard he worked in the gardening club. Even when he gets close to Kubo he remains as expressionless as ever meanwhile she's full on lovestruck.

So now you can probably see why people wanted to change this definition right? It's too similar to kuudere! And actually, that is kind of true. Dandere is extremely similar to kuudere, with the only difference being how the characters behave and not how they look. A kuudere is of course "cool", they are calm and confident while a dandere might be freaking out on the inside and lack confidence, but that is not the only difference. When someone talks to a dandere they are likely to not answer, but if someone who isn't their love interest talks to a kuudere they're likely to get an earful and leave with their feelings hurt. Kuudere are not just "cool" (calm) in personality, but they are also "cool" (cold) to others, while a dandere is usually nice and wants to have friends but just can't. While both appear completely expressionless, a kuudere appears rigid with a cold menacing look on their face that makes you want to admire them from afar (very far lol) while a dandere appears more small and invisible. You can get close to a dandere and you might not even know they are there!

--------------------

Hajidere: It appears that the meaning of this type that is widespread in the community is not quite accurate either. Likely in effort to be different from dandere which has now incorrectly become the "shy" type, hajidere became defined as those who only become shy around their love interest. However, this is not actually true. While those types of characters can still fall under hajidere yes, that's not actually the main personality trait of a hajidere. Hajidere are shy overall, not just when around a specific person. The difference is how this shyness presents itself. While a dandere hides their shyness with a silent and expressionless face, a hajidere well... well they simply can't hide it. A hajidere will blush, stumble over their words, faint from embarrassment, and start panicking because they are far more timid and introverted than a dandere.

An example of a hajidere character would be Umika Konohoshi from Stardust Telepath.

Umika is someone who desperately wants to make friends, but every time she tries approaching someone to ask them to be her friend she can't get the words out and just starts stuttering. This is usually how she looks when trying to speak.

So right away you can easily see the difference between this type and a dandere. While both types are shy 100% of the time (outside of being with people they feel comfortable with) this shyness manifests in different ways. Umika is someone who can only speak publicly when her girlfriend Yuu is holding her hand to give her the confidence and it's through that relationship that she starts to build up the confidence to make more friends and to become deredere. That is another big difference between the two. As you can see with Junta, he still looks expressionless even when he's with his love interest or by himself, but Umika usually acts like this when she's alone with Yuu or at home with her sister.

She is still too shy to say much, but she has a very warm and emotional personality and always tries really hard to be friendly and make others happy.

--------------------

I hope you guys enjoyed this! I might make some more threads like this in the future talking about the differences between similar types too if you want. I also just made one for kuudere as well since the kuudere type was also changed slightly. Dandere can be seen as a mix of a kuudere and a hajidere. You take the expressionless face of a kuudere and give them the shy but friendly personality of a hajidere and now you have a dandere. In fact, the unofficial combination that was created "kuudan" for "dandere characters who fake an inexpressive face like a kuudere" is actually the true meaning of dandere, so that unofficial type has also been merged into dandere.

Let me know if you have any further questions regarding these changes.

I thought I would make a post discussing the new updates and changes to the meaning of kuudere, as well as clear up some misconceptions.

Kuudere: A character who appears expressionless and unapproachable at first glance (kuu), but becomes cute, loving, and deredere around their love interest (dere).

Misconceptions:

#1: Kuudere are emotionless:

A kuudere is someone who creates a cold and expressionless "cool" (kuu) facade to purposefully keep others at a distance, but then is changed by their love interest to lose this facade and start acting cute and loving (dere). This misconception seems to originate largely from the English wikipedia article that was written by someone entirely unfamiliar with the archetype. Kuudere are not emotionless and characters who are emotionless do not fall under kuudere. Emotionless characters are their own completely separate and unrelated archetype. If we take a look at an official kuudere character we can clearly see this in action. This is how Yui from Tonari no Kuuderella o Amayakashitara, Uchi no Aikagi o Watasu Koto ni Natta appears when she's alone with her love interest Katagiri.

She looks just like any regular deredere girl right? Cute, affectionate, lovey-dovey...

Scary! Suddenly she has this wicked expression on her face that keeps anyone from getting close. But wait, what about that first image? Yes, that first image takes place chronologically a day before the second image showing this is in fact an intentionally created facade. And this holds true for other official kuudere characters as well. They create a "don't get involved with me" aura because they want to remain independent.

So this is something entirely different from simply being emotionless, it's intentional! Which is why they are often labeled as "ice queens" by their classmates. Beautiful, yet cold.

#2: Being calm and collected automatically makes you a kuudere:

Well, not exactly. In fact, there are several dere types that are calm and expressionless but they still all have their differences.

For example, this is how a dandere character looks. Junta from Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible is silent and expressionless rarely showing emotions, but he is shy and unconfident on the inside. He rarely talks and when he does he's quite friendly. A dandere is more of an invisible silent presence than a chillingly cold presence.

Rindere also have a "cool" personality, remaining calm and collected. This is how Alice Lendrott from The Duke of Death and His Maid looks. She remains cool and calm and never panics even under the most dire circumstances. However, this is because she's mature. She's always looking out for her love interest the Duke and taking care of him, as would be expected of a mature big sisterly woman. She shows emotions far more than a kuudere would before becoming dere, just with a calm and polite ladylike demeanor. She also doesn't speak without thinking and make harsh blunt statements because she's too dignified for that. Rindere may scold others, but only for doing things that aren't in their best interest and not because they tried getting close to them.

Kiridere can also come across as expressionless when they're in super serious work mode. This is how Ameri Azazel from Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun looks. She has a crisp (kiri) expression on her face and remains calm however, she is extremely strict with others and rather than wanting to be left alone she is the leader of the student council and demands order in the school.

The main difference here is although these other types are "cool" (calm) in that they never panic, they are never "cool" (temperature) as in they give other people chills for trying to get close to them. And therein lies the main difference.

#3: Kuudere act cold to hide their true feelings.

This is actually not true either. Although they do purposely keep others at a distance, everything that does come out of their mouth is generally true. In fact... it's a little too true and they're a little too blunt with their true thoughts which tends to leave people with some hurt feelings. The reason for this is that the archetype of kuudere actually originates from another archetype that was specifically created to be a polar opposite of tsundere, the dishonest girl who can't hide her feelings for the life of her and always loses her cool, b-baka! This archetype is known as "sunao kuuru", or in English, "honest cool". It was created to describe a girl who was always honest and always cool. The opposite of "tsun" is "honest" and the opposite of "dere" is "cool", so tsun→honest and dere→cool became honest cool! Later on this archetype evolved into kuudere for someone starts out sunao kuuru and later becomes dere: (sunao) kuu(ru)dere. This usually manifests itself as a kuudere being very honestly blunt when they are not interested. Look! Even the class talker who can hold a conversation with anyone couldn't get through to Yui!

So this also falls under kuudere characters sometimes getting mistaken for a tsundere (or more specifically a tsundora). Taking a look at Koneko from High School D×D she likes to make fun of her future love interest Issei and call him a pervert or an idiot saying she doesn't like him, but she believes all of that! Every word she says is true. She can't be a tsundere because she isn't being dishonest and only saying these things to hide her feelings out of embarrassment, because she has no feelings for him (at least not yet).

At the same time though, this is a two-way street. They are honest with the bad, but they are also honest with the good. The day after Koneko fell in love with Issei after he helped her this is how she woke him up.

She honestly confessed her feelings! And that is the main difference between a tsundere and a kuudere; honesty and straightforwardness.

#4: They have zero character development.

I decided to save this point for last because by now you can see that obviously isn't true, yet for some reason a large portion of the Western community thinks a kuudere cannot change and must remain expressionless forever. You might see things like "they used to a kuudere" when a formerly expressionless character starts acting lovey-dovey, but actually that's an oxymoron. They are not formerly a kuudere they didn't even become a kuudere until they started acting dere! The "kuu" and "dere" are two sides of the same coin. It is not a singular personality trait (expressionless) but rather a character archetype that involves a change in behavior over time. Both the expressionless kuu period and the lovey-dovey dere period are equally an example of a kuudere character.

As a kuudere gets closer to their love interest they will start to let up on their cold persona. They might start being friendlier to other classmates or making other friends. Taking a look at Yui again, after meeting Katagiri she starts to be more friendly with the girls in her class which shocked everyone. While before she turned down their inventions to eat lunch together, now she warmly accepts their invitation.

Well, she's friendly to girls at least but boys other than Katagiri... they might take a little more time.

-----------------

But what about characters who don't change though... What about characters who are cool on the outside but loving on the inside. That my friends, is sunao kuuru, aka honest cool. Although it doesn't make any sense to say a character is "deredere" on the inside, since deredere is specifically a mimetic word that describes the appearance of being lovestruck, those types of characters do fall under sunao kuuru.

The main difference between a sunao kuuru and a kuudere is that a kuudere changes and a sunao kuuru doesn't. After falling in love and meeting their love interest a kuudere entirely drops that cold exterior and becomes cute and loving with a very noticeable change creating a large gap in their personality! Shirokane Koyuki from Yatara to Sasshi no Ii Ore wa, Dokuzetsu Kuudere Bishoujo actually goes around cheering on other couples at the school with her boyfriend Naoya. Long gone are the days of her reign as the "Venomous Snow White" of the school who unleashed viscous sharp-tongued statements to anyone who got near her.

She's an entirely new person! For a kuudere the "kuu" and the "dere" are completely separate and a clear separation of their character. This is where a sunao kuuru differs. A sunao kuuru does not change after falling in love. For an example of this we can look at Byakuya Kuchiki from Bleach. Although he was already married with a loving wife, his demeanor never actually changed. He looked like this before falling in love and he looked like this after falling in love.

This does not mean he is an emotionless character and he still cares a lot for the younger sister of his wife, Rukia, but he doesn't really show it very often. So does this mean a sunao kuuru can never show emotions? Actually no, because remember that neither of these archetypes are for emotionless characters it is for cool characters! And this is main difference. A kuudere changes to show their love and affection in a cutesy lovey-dovey dere way, while a sunao kuuru does not change and shows their love and affection in a cool and calm way. Tomoyo Sakagami from Clannad is cool and unapproachable at first, but falling in love with Tomoya didn't actually change her. She is still cool! She gives him a calm loving smile.

When she shows her love and affection she does it in a cool way. The only real change in her behavior is rather than being cool to keep others away, she now directs her cool side to showing affection, such as calmly resting her head on Tomoya's shoulder. She doesn't blush uncontrollably like Koneko and she doesn't become cheerful like Koyuki, but she still shows her love and affection. If a character shows love and affection in this type of cool way, then they're not a kuudere but rather a sunao kuuru! Or another way of thinking about it is, for a kuudere their "cool" and "loving" sides do not occur at the same time and are two sides of the same coin, whereas for a sunao kuuru their "cool" and "loving" side occurs at the same time and they don't have two sides. Both types are compelling as romantic interests, but they develop in different ways.

I hope you enjoyed my little deep dive into the interworkings of kuudere! If you have any further questions let me know and I'll try to answer them.

Is there anything else? Like Other types? (Except gire)

Let's go! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 This was a really difficult badge to get and it took a lot of dedication and time management due to the differing timezone between myself and Fandom's servers. Many times I thought about calling it quits and taking a day off because it was nerve-wracking to keep up, but I kept going and I have now achieved the hardest badge to obtain on Fandom: A 365 Day Editing Streak! DrawnCatcher had previously obtained this badge as well, and although they have since retired it's a pleasure to join them in this accomplishment.

So I'd like to take a moment to reminisce and talk about all I've been able to accomplish this past year:

• 28,056 EDITS

• 10,040 ACHIEVEMENT POINTS

• 65 NEW ARCHETYPES ADDED

• 39 DERE TYPES DISCOVERED

• 100+ OTHER TYPES DISCOVERED

1. What I'm most proud of is bringing the "Dere" back to the Dere Types Wiki. Somewhere along the line a lot of the types lost their love and became generic one trait tropes. For example, Biridere was just "anyone who could use electricity regardless of personality", Zondere was "any zombie", Yoidere was "any person who drinks", Gandere was "anyone who used a gun", and so on. Even the base "deredere" type was about being hyper and energetic and not dere. A huge portion of my time was spent creating unofficial "gire" versions of these types and separating the loveless characters from the cute deredere ones!

2. I sorted all of the Dere Types to either Western or Japanese. Previously when I joined all of the types were assumed to be official Japanese types, but in actuality many of them were fanmade ones created on places like Reddit that had spread through the community or even by new users on this site. Most of my first few months here were spent extensively researching and verifying which types had been used in official Japanese media, which were fanmade by users here, and which were made by Western fans but notable enough to stay in the main pages. This was a huge effort, but it was so worth it. Which also leads me to my next accomplishment.

3. I was able to correct many definitions that were incorrect. Through all my time researching I was able to find the correct meanings of many types. As it seems, over the years the true Japanese meanings of many types began to get lost in translation or change over time. Some very subtly like kuudere being a term for "anyone who is emotionless" even without a cutesy loving dere side, and some tremendously such as Mayadere morphing from someone who is "frighteningly talented at being an actor but is deredere at home", to becoming from a type for "villains to lovers". It's an interesting history!

4. I was able to discover many new dere types, including some rather obscure ones, which was so much fun and so exciting every time! When I joined there were only around 45 dere types and I have managed to discover an astounding 39 more!!! Not all of them have been made into pages quite yet, and I still have several more to verify as a possible type so that my number might very well increase, but it's still an exciting feeling. I still remember the feeling when I first joined and accidentally stumbled across Roshidere on Twitter and Rindere soon after even though I was convinced we had found them all, man was I wrong. It's quite a pleasant surprise that I'm still able to find new ones, even as recently as me discovering 3 new dere types yesterday!

5. I was able to get Variations, Combinations, Other Types, and Unofficial Types into their own standalone pages by implementing custom namespaces! At first, all of these types were shoved into one single page because it was decided by the previous bureaucrats that they were not allowed, even though people wanted them. The single page was a compromise, but it was difficult to edit even for experienced editors like myself which led to most people ignoring them. But now they all have their own pages (or are in the process of having their own pages) and the total page count on the wiki increased from around 200 pages to 783 pages! And I'm looking to make that 1000 before the end of the year.

I'm excited to spend another year here continuing to improve the site and I can't wait to see what dere type I will discover next! Thank you to everyone for making this such a wonderful and special community ♥️♥️♥️
