"Kidere" is a term for a kuudere character who possesses snow or ice abilities. While a normal kuudere character is only "metaphorically" cold as ice, a kidere character is "literally" cold as ice. Often their cool, emotionless demeanor is a direct result of their body temperature lowering from the use of their ice powers. Because of their calm and cold personality, they can come across as an emotionless force of destruction when using their ice abilities. However, despite their icy exterior they are deredere on the inside. It will be up to their love interest to draw out their warmer and more lovey-dovey side.
