"Gesudere" (JP) is a term for a character who usually talks and behaves in a very crude, offensive, vulgar, and cruel manner but becomes cute, gentle, affectionate, and deredere around their love interest. At first they lack any kind of morals and exhibit disrespectful speech and behavior that makes look like a lowlife. They will not hesitate to unleash a barrage of vulgar verbal abuse towards anyone who annoys them. When making these remarks they have a very nasty and vile, almost villainous, look on their face that can make others very uncomfortable just by looking at them. However, over time they will start to show more gentle lovey-dovey actions towards their love interest, such as kissing them in public or doing romantic gestures to show their love, which can seem out of character for them and surprise their love interest. When they are with their love interest they have a surprisingly gentle and affectionate personality. They are sweet, kind, considerate, and have a strong desire to make their love interest feel loved and taken care of. The love they have for their love interest will start to change them and make them a better person.
