"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.
Juvia: "Drip drip drop. I'm impressed your guild was able to strike down two of the Elements. However, you must not estimate the remaining two." Gray: "Listen, Lady. If you're looking for a fight I'll give ya one. But let's get something straight, I'm not gonna hold back just cause you're a chick." Juvia: *blushes* "Well then, I give up. You win. Goodbye!" —Juvia Lockser meeting Gray Fullbuster for the first time, from FAIRY TAIL
There must be something wrong with me. Why is my heart beating so fast? I have a strong urge to make him mine. I just can't help myself anymore. Waterlock! *traps Gray in a water prison* Oh no! What have I done, he's injured I had no idea he was hurt! I don't know what to do! I guess I should probably release him. —Juvia Lockser not understanding her feelings for Gray Fullbuster, from FAIRY TAIL
He must be an ice wizard. He froze my Waterlock and broke free. I've never witnessed the power of ice magic. It's beautiful! I'm water and he's ice. We must be bound by fate. I can't believe I've finally found my handsome prince! —Juvia Lockser becoming lovestruck by Gray Fullbuster's ice magic, from FAIRY TAIL
Yes. I mustn't forget. My love is also my enemy. We're on opposite sides of this war. I have no choice but to attack. It seems this is farewell, my prince. —Juvia Lockser to Gray Fullbuster after remembering their guilds are at war with each, from FAIRY TAIL

Juvia: "No matter what you do you cannot beat me. But there is one way you and your guild may be spared. All we ask is that you hand over Ms. Lucy Heartfilia. Do that, and I will ask our master to call off his attack on Fairy Tail." Gray: "Ah, come on. Don't give me that crap. You and I both know we're past the point of no return. Besides, Lucy's one of us. I'd rather give my life than hand her over to you." Juvia: (He'd rather give his life. Give his life. Give his life. Lucy's my rival! Lucy's my rival! Lucy's my rival! HE LOVES HER!) "Ahhhhhhhhhh! Oh the pain! How can fate be so cruel? My heart feels like it's been shredded to bits! It hurts! Ow, it hurts! She's not worthy of my prince. Lucy Heartfilia cannot be allowed to live! —Juvia Lockser becoming jealous over Gray Fullbuster, from FAIRY TAIL
Ever since the day I was born I have been followed by the rain. It gives me strength, it makes me invincible. Prepare to be scaulded by my jealous rage! —Juvia Lockser to Gray Fullbuster, from FAIRY TAIL
He's not just handsome, he's actually smart too. I really am in love! —Juvia Lockser after seeing Gray Fullbuster use her smokescreen attack to his advantage, from FAIRY TAIL

Even though I'm his enemy... He released me... He's such a nice guy! *deeply touched* —Juvia Lockser after Gray Fullbuster releases her from his ice attack, from FAIRY TAIL
"Let's not. Honestly, I don't wanna hurt you so there's no point in us fighting anymore. You know I'm much stronger than Lucy. If you'd let me I'd be happy to protect you." Gray: "Protect me? Like, from what?" Juvia:"Well... Anything that might hurt you. Because... I think that you're a... you... I..." Gray: "Is it just me or is this rain getting worse? It won't let up. Man, this rain is so gloomy." Juvia: (Gloomy. Gloomy. Gloomy. Gloomy.) *falls to her knees* "I thought it was different, but he's just like all the rest. How could you be so cruel!" I won't let my feelings for him sway me any longer! I'M THROUGH WITH LOVE! AND I'M THROUGH WITH YOUUUUUUUU!!!" —Juvia Lockser after Gray Fullbuster called her gloomy, from FAIRY TAIL
*flashback starts* Classmates: "I don't think Juvia should be allowed to go on our field trips. For real cuz everywhere she goes it's raining and gloomy." Juvia: (It's true. I am a rain woman.) Classmates: "Man, what a gloomy day. What's this dumb-looking doll thing!" *stomps on Juvia's doll* Ex-Boyfriend: "Can't you do something about all the rain? We can't ever do anything outdoors. No fishing, no camping." Juvia: "I'm sorry *cries* But I don't have any control over it." Ex-Boyfriend: "Well, I can't handle all this gloom. I think we should see other people." Random people: This rain is totally gloomy. Yeah, it makes you feel gloomy too. This gloomy rain just won't let up. I hope all this gloom doesn't ruin our fun.." *flashback ends* Juvia: "I've lived my entire life as a gloomy rain woman, but Phantom Lord looked past that! They welcomed me with open arms! I am one of the Element Four! A proud Phantom Lord wizard!" —Juvia Lockser thinking about her past, from FAIRY TAIL
He even turned the rain to ice. He's amazing! —Juvia Lockser about Gray Fullbuster, from FAIRY TAIL
Juvia: (I lost. It's all over now. I'm going to fall to the ground and splatter. Just like a raindrop. I suppose it's a fitting end for a rain woman, who no one wants. Farewell, Gloomy Juvia.) Gray: *grabs Juvia's arm* "Just hold on, okay? I promise I won't let you fall." Juvia: "Why did you save me?" Gray: "Just cuz. Now get some rest." Juvia: (He saved my life.) Gray: "You good? Starting to cool down a bit?" Juvia: (So bright. The rain. It stopped.) Gray: "Hey look. The sun is coming out." Juvia: "A blue sky. I've never... seen it before." Gray: "Seriously? Hmm, well there you go. It's pretty don't you think." Juvia: "It is. It's... truly beautiful." Gray: *smiles* "Soooooooo, you wanna go at it?" Juvia: *passes out from excitement* —Juvia Lockser and Gray Fullbuster after their battle was over, from FAIRY TAIL

It's not a sin to fall in love, you can't even arrest someone for that. —Gajeel Redfox to the rest of Fairy Tail, from FAIRY TAIL
I'm always the last!! It's so frustrating! So pathetic! But you know... To hell with all that! None of it matters as long as I can protect the girl I love!!!! —Gajeel Redfox declaring his love for Levy McGarden, from FAIRY TAIL

You want to learn more about me? How ridiculous. Don't you know that's only asking for trouble? —Wanderer, from Genshin Impact

When I entered Irminsul, there was only one thought in my mind: "I wish I'd never been born at all". Irminsul responded to my wish, but didn't bring me the outcome I desired.

From this day forth, the names "Balladeer" and "Kabukimono" will cease to exist. ...Those who died in Tatarasuna because of me deserve another chance at life. (...) You know, I never did like insects. Hordes of the puny things swarming together can be a real nuisance... and I enjoy nothing more than to stamp them out like the pests they are. But if a colony of harmless ants isn't threatening anyone, I guess they deserve to be left alone... Luckily, everything can be set right. It's time to solve this once and for all. —Scaramouche, from Genshin Impact
...I don't think I can judge everything I've heard purely in terms of right and wrong. Each choice a person makes belongs to a specific place and time, a chain of cause and effect... a cycle of karma and consequence. —Wanderer, from Genshin Impact
If possible, I'd like to reclaim the sins that are mine to bear. No matter the consequences, I won't run from blame or punishment. Whatever I am due, let it come to pass. —Wanderer, from Genshin Impact
