Update Notice This article has recently had its meaning altered or updated after the discovery of new information. Characters are in the process of being removed/transfered to other types to more accurately reflect this change. The following changes have been made: This type is now exclusively for characters that have a dull personality and lack a sense of excitement about anything, but still always keep their love interest company anyway no matter what. Characters that are just lazy or that have fun lazing around should be moved to Unofficial:Taidere. Characters that are lazy and dull can go in both.

The wiki is free to edit! Feel free to add an example! To prevent any formatting issues, always use this link to edit anything. All characters listed who have been in love with, have a crush on, or are in a relationship with someone and are Darudere 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 affectionate and loving towards friends/family should be marked with (platonic) or (familial) instead.

Darudere are characters who have a dull personality and never want to do anything fun, but will always keep their love interest company anyway no matter what. They live a very mundane life and lack a sense of excitement, which causes them to always be bothered by their love interest wanting to spend time with them. When their love interest asks them to do something fun they will complain about it being a bother but will do it anyways because they love them and want to spend time with them despite their dull personality. For them it's about wanting to be with the person they love more than the dullness.

This is not to be confused with:

• Unofficial:Taidere - A character who is normally very lazy, but still spend time with their love interest.
