Romaji: Tsuyodere) is a term for a female otoko masari character who is normally very strong-willed, tough, and masculine, but becomes cute, delicate, and girly when they are deredere for their love interest. Although they normally have a very masculine personality and demeanor that is tough enough to easily beat up men and won't back down from a threat, they still desire for their love interest to treat them like a girl and be gentle with them so they let their guard down when they are alone together. They want to dress up in cute clothes and be told they look pretty or be hugged and comforted by their love interest. They are characters who might have a hard time finding love due to their manly strength and personality being intimidating, but when they do find someone they have fallen in love with they are surprisingly cute and feminine.
She's the most powerful woman in all of Fairy Tail —Happy describing Erza Scarlet, from FAIRY TAIL
An S-class mage who can take on S-class quests in Fairy Tail. The strongest woman in the guild. Her strict and otoko masari personality makes her feared by the men in the guild, and even Natsu and Gray obey her every word. —Official character description of Erza Scarlet, from Grand Summoners × FAIRY TAIL
Elfman: "Well if those two value their manhood, they better go through with it." Mirajane: "Erza's not a man." Macao: "But you gotta admit, she's manly." —About Erza Scarlet before she fights a man, from FAIRY TAIL
Once again, Erza's the manliest one in the guild. —Elfman Straus after Erza Scarlet was the only one who could stop a powerful magic attack, from FAIRY TAIL
Erza: "Kyaaa!" Natsu: "She screamed like a girl..." Gray: "Yeah. And it was cute..." —After Erza Scarlet made a cute scream like a girl after falling into a pit trap, from FAIRY TAIL
I always feel more at ease wearing armor. Although, as a wardrobe choice I guess it's not the most feminine. (...) I guess it's okay to relax and enjoy myself every once in a while. Isn't it? —Erza Scarlet questioning whether she would keep wearing her armor or a cute dress at the resort vacation, from FAIRY TAIL
She kept her heart shielded in armor, because she thought that was the only way to keep it from breaking again. But it didn't stop the pain. I hope she knows her friends in Fairy Tail are 10 times better than any armor. With us around she'll never cry again. —Gray thinking about Erza Scarlet, from FAIRY TAIL
As a child, I watched as those close to me suffered. I lost loved ones because I didn't have the strength to protect them. I tried to be strong... But when I was alone I couldn't hide my emotions. I decided that in order to convince everyone that I was strong, I would hide my heart away inside a suit of armor. There, no one could see that it was broken. I wear armor to conceal my weakness from the rest of the world. Without it I've been too afraid to fight. I thought my armor protected me, but it did more harm than good. It shielded me from pain, but it kept me distanced from others. My heart was too guarded to connect with anyone. That is, until I joined Fairy Tail. Everyone was so warm and caring that my cold shell began to crack and I began to feel emotions again. I can't rely on my armor anymore. I know I'm strong enough to defeat you without it. —Erza Scarlet proclaiming she is strong enough to not need to hide her feelings behind her armor, from FAIRY TAIL
She looks so weak. Fragile. Her voice was trembling with fear. I don't wanna see Erza like that. I've always looked up to her as a strong warrior. And when she wakes up from this nightmare, I want her to feel like her old self again. If you want to get to her you'll have to go through me! —Natsu Dragneel to the person who caused Erza Scarlet to shield her heart away, from FAIRY TAIL
Lucy: "Hey Erza, what's with the fancy getup?" Erza: "I don't have time to talk, I have to go and put my make-up on!" —Erza Scarlet quickly rushing off in a fancy dress, from FAIRY TAIL
The dress I had on was cuter. —Erza Scarlet, from FAIRY TAIL
I'm quite fond of the bunny girl. The ears are simply adorable. —Erza Scarlet when asked about what her favorite costume to wear is, from FAIRY TAIL
Ever since the pardon letter arrived Erza, despite never having any interest in it, started doing her hair every single day. —Lucy Heartfilia describing Erza Scarlet's change in behavior after Jellal Fernandez is set free, from FAIRY TAIL

Kensuke: "How could I think you were a boy at first, when you're this cute?" Haruki: "C-Cute? You're just saying that because you want something, aren't you?" Kensuke: "That's not true. Let me declare this, you're cute." Haruki: *starts blushing* (I've always been called "man-woman" or "male dominating" (otoko masari). After all, protecting girls is in my blood.

Karane: "Huh? What? What's going on?" Nano: "Karane Inda. You're capable of it."

Tadashi: "Darling!" Saya: "H-Honey..." Tadashi: "Honey!" Saya: "Darling♡" Tadashi: "Honey♡" —Saya Ikushima and Tadashi Imamoto, from OniDere
Saya: "Tadashi... please tell me the truth... Do you dislike... manly women?" Tadashi: "...... Hmm, I wonder. I really don't know. I can tell you this though, I do like effeminate women. Because... whenever it's just the two of us, you're the most effeminate woman out there." Saya: "Tadashi... *hic* Tada... *starts crying on his shoulder*" —Saya Ikushima and Tadashi Imamoto, from OniDere
