Make sure to read the character guidelines before adding any new characters. All characters listed who have been in love with, have a crush on, or are in a relationship with someone and are Dandere for them will be marked with a heart (♥) next to their name. You can also see who this love interest is by dragging the cursor over the heart. Characters who are not romantic versions of this type, but are cute and affectionate towards friends/family must be marked with (platonic) or (familial) instead. |

"Dandere" (JP) is a term for a character who is silent and expressionless most of the time, but will suddenly become cute, affectionate, and deredere when they are alone with their love interest. They will rarely speak and will usually keep to themselves and not go out of their way to talk with others. When others try to talk to them first they will either respond very quietly or not respond at all. They are also not great at expressing their emotions on their face so they can come off as emotionless. Because they both don't project emotions like other people and rarely speak it can make it very difficult to understand what they are truly thinking. However, in truth they are actually very sweet inside and when they are alone with their love interest they will start to become more talkative and affectionate. Being with their love interest will help pull this more loving and emotional side out of them. After warming up to their love interest they will start to show their cute and affectionate lovey-dovey side towards them.
This is not to be confused with:
- Hajidere - A character who is normally very shy and too embarrassed to talk to their love interest, but eventually becomes deredere for them.
- Kuudere - A character who initially acts cold, expressionless, and unapproachable to hide their loving feelings, but becomes cute, lovey-dovey, and deredere around their love interest after getting closer to them.
- Unofficial:Fuandere - A character who is normally very anxious, but becomes deredere around their love interest.
