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 Onidere 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. |

Onidere (JP) is a term for a character with oni-like monstrous strength who puts on an act and pretends to hate and be cruel to their love interest around other people to maintain a reputation of being feared, but will be extremely cute, lovey-dovey, and deredere to them when others are not looking. They will hide their love life and relationship from everyone else at first because they are embarrassed and fear it will make them look "weak", despite their monstrous and superhuman oni-like strength capable of defeating anybody in a fight or easily smashing concrete walls. However, they do still genuinely love and care about their love interest more than anyone else and would never intentionally seriously harm them since they only want to make it 'look' like they're being mean to their love interest. After enough time with their love interest they will even come to express their feelings and more loving cute side in public.
This is not to be confused with:
- Chuunibyou - A character that has delusions of grandeur. Characters who think they are like a being of darkness should go here.
- Monster Musume - A beautiful female character who shares traits with a monster. Oni girls who have a beautiful human appearance but don't have a cruel personality to hide their loving side can go here.
- Monster Danshi - A beautiful male character who shares traits with a monster. Oni boys who have a beautiful human appearance but don't have a cruel personality to hide their loving side can go here.
- Unofficial:Akugire - A character who is demonic in nature.
