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 Mayadere 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. |

"Mayadere" is a term for a character who started as a villain trying to kill their love interest/the protagonist, but switches sides after falling in love with them and becoming deredere. They act similar to a type of tsundere that is dangerous and scary, and may even still make jokes about killing their love interest every once in a while. For some their attraction to their love interest may be immediate, while for others it may occur slowly over time as they develop feelings from their many confrontations. After truly falling in love they will completely abandon their villainous ways so they can be with the one they love. They will start acting in cute doting ways and wanting to receive lots of affection from their love interest. It is the classic story of enemies to lovers and shows that falling in love can change even the most villainous of hearts.
This is not to be confused with:
- Unofficial:Tekidere - A character who starts out as the rival of their love interest, but over time starts to fall in love with them and adopts an overly affectionate deredere attitude towards them. Unlike mayadere, they do not have to try to kill their love interest and can simply be a generally antagonistic rival.
