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 Gundere 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. |

"Gundere" (JP) is a term for a tsundere commanding officer character who is unable to honestly express their feelings of affection to their love interest so they turn into a drill sergeant and berate them for not being good enough, but over time begin to reveal their true deredere feelings as they overcome their drill sergeant reflex.
