Darudere
Japanese Name	ダルデレ だるデレ
Personality	Lazy, dull, apathetic, uncaring, inconsiderate

Not to be confused with a Nemuidere.

A Darudere refers to a character who is often very lazy and dull.[1] They will usually ignore others and do whatever they want unless someone they care about asks them to do something or needs their help.

Meaning of the Name

This word is a compound of "darui" (ダルい), which means sluggish, and "deredere" (デレデレ), which means "lovey dovey".

Personality

A Darudere ダルデレ is a character that is darui ダルい, "sluggish," and always says things are too much of a pain to do. If left alone, they'll just sit on their chair without doing anything at all. The dere part comes when they're asked to do something by their love interest, then they say "Ugh, I don't want to, but fine, I'll go. I just need to go with you, right? Then you'll stop bothering me?".

That is, despite their massive complaints about having to do anything, they will lift a finger if it's for someone they like, although surely complaining during the whole process.

Darudere characters would rather sit around and show no emotion towards anyone, including their love interest. They are nonchalant to those whom they love, but they do express emotions, just usually show no interest in those who like them.

Daruderes are similar to Nemuideres, as both like to sleep and relax. The difference between these two is that nemuideres are usually more kind than daruderes and they tend to fall asleep suddenly unintentionally or when there is nothing to do, but not because of laziness and rather because they enjoy their sleeping time. It's also possible that a character can be both deres, and that in addition of being lazy, they can be seen falling asleep often.
