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 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 cute and affectionate towards friends/family must be marked with (platonic) or (familial) instead. |

"Darudere" (JP) is a term for a character who normally has a listless personality and finds most things bothersome, but will always keep their love interest company in a deredere manner anyway no matter what. They lack a sense of excitement and are normally very lethargic, which causes them to always be bothered by their love interest wanting to spend time with them, but at the same time they have a strong desire to be with them. When their love interest asks them to do something with them they will complain about it being a bother but will always do it anyways because they love them and want to spend time with them. They're the type who follows their love interest around no matter what and makes their love interest want to be with them. While they usually have a non-chalant attitude towards love, they can start to become surprisingly proactive in being all cute and lovey-dovey with their love interest as they fall more and more in love.
This is not to be confused with:
- Unofficial:Taidere - A character who is normally very lazy, but still spend time with their love interest.
