"Yamato Nadeshiko" (JP) is a term for a female character who is a representation of the Japanese ideal of a perfect woman. They appear gentle, delicate, and feminine on the surface, like a flower, but are strong enough to endure the hardships for their family. They have a very old-fashioned attitude where they are completely loyal and devoted to their husbands. They are very mature, with a lot of modesty, grace, and uncompromising determination, while also being nurturing and caring. They also fit traditional beauty standards in Japan, such having long black hair and wearing kimonos.
