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 Tsundere 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. |

"Tsundere" (JP) is a term for a character who has loving deredere feelings for their love interest but is unable to be honest with them so they end up acting distant, standoffish, and stuck-up to conceal them. They can't be honest with the person they like so they will pretend not to be interested in them at first and act distant to hide their embarrassment while also struggling to convey their loving feelings despite their inability to be honest. They have a habit of acting all lovey-dovey when alone with their love interest, but when people are watching they treat them coldly to hide their embarrassment.
However, after becoming closer to their love interest and falling in love to the point that they can no longer deny their feelings, they will start to show a more honest and openly loving deredere side towards them. They will start behaving in cute ways and wanting their love interest to be intimate with them or tell them that they love them even in public, actively seeking to be spoiled by their affection.
Sub-lists for specific types of tsundere can be found below. If you add a character to a sub-list, please also add the character here and mark in parentheses which specific type of tsundere they are.
- Deretsun - A character who is normally deredere towards their love interest but gradually adopts a more standoffish and dishonest tsun attitude over time.
- Tsun-aho - A tsundere character who tries so hard to look uninterested in their love interest that they just end up making themselves look like a complete fool.
- Tsun-ama - A tsundere character who always spoils and pampers their sweetheart in a very sweet and affectionate manner even when acting cold and dishonest about their feelings.
- Tsunbaka - A tsundere character who is extremely airheaded and forgetful.
- Tsundora - A tsundere character who acts so dry and emotionless when being being dishonest with their feelings that they make it seem like they are serious, showing a complete and absolute rejection of their own feelings. At first glance they appear to have no deredere side whatsoever and appear as cold as the Arctic tundra.
- Tsunneko - A tsundere who is a nekomimi and shows their affection in a cat-like way.
- Tsun-pure - A tsundere character who is sweet and pure-hearted, even if they aren't always honest with themselves about their true feelings. They have a tendency to be overly honest with their love interest since are often bad at telling lies, but they are rarely honest about their true feelings with themself.
- Tsunpuri - A tsundere who is a princess and acts dishonest with her feelings in a dignified and ladylike manner.
- Tsunshun - A tsundere character who acts standoffish and disinterested in their love interest and then becomes sad because they couldn't be honest with their feelings.
- Tsuntere - A tsundere character who acts dishonest with their feelings because they become shy and embarrassed around their love interest.
Characters that act "tsun" but don't also have a cute and overly affectionate "deredere" side should only be added to the following:
- Tsungire - A character who is quick to get angry and push others away when they try to be affectionate with them. While a tsundere pushes people away by acting standoffish or ignoring them, a tsungire pushes them away in an angry and ruthlessly direct way. Characters can be both types.
