"Kuzudere" (JP) is a term for a character who usually acts like scum, but becomes cute, selfless, and deredere after falling in love with their love interest. At first they are very greedy and are only interested in fulfilling their own self interests. They are quick to blame others and won't hesitate to lie or use underhanded tricks if it means getting what they want. They also have the tendency to talk down on others and have a slightly problematic personality. However, despite their off-putting behavior they are someone who has a good heart and genuinely loves and cares about others. After becoming closer to their love interest they will start to act more cute, lovey-dovey, and romantic towards them. They will begin to become less selfish and cherish their love interest's happiness over even their own needs.
