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 Yandere (Yankii) 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. |

"Yandere" (JP) is a term for a yankii character who falls in love and becomes deredere. Like all yankii, at first they are trashy, gaudy, loudmouth delinquents who regularly get into fights and seem like they'd have no interest in having a cute romantic relationship. However, after meeting their love interest and falling in love their entire personality changes and they start to take more of an interest in being cute and affectionate with another person. They may be embarrassed by their newfound relationship and try to keep it a secret at first for the sake of their reputation. When they are in public they may even bad-mouth their love interest to try to hide their feelings, but when they are alone together they will be very cute and lovey-dovey in a very surprising way. Eventually they will learn to take pride in their relationship and make it public, and even give up being a delinquent altogether as a result of their love changing them.
This is not to be confused with:
- Yandere (Sick) - A character who at first is very sweet, loving, innocent, and overly affectionate like a normal deredere, but over time begins exhibiting signs of being mentally sick as a result of having a too strong love. Although these two archetypes share the same name, they are not at all related.
- Yankii - A character who is a juvenile delinquent and participates in rebellious or illegal actions in middle school or high school. Yankii characters who have not become deredere should only be added to this list.
