Romaji: Yandere) 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.

Well, I had a chip on my shoulder back then. I was like a lion that hadn't been fed. A problem child that was too much for my teachers and parents to handle. I wonder why it's so easy to "go bad"? Before I knew it, I'd joined the "ladies". We beat people up, got beat up, started fires, got chased by the cops... To be honest, if I told you everything we did it'd make your hair stand on end. —Arisa Uotani about her past, from Fruits Basket
I also wanted to change. I'd never felt that way before. "I'm through being like this." I thought. I wanted to change. —Arisa Uotani about her past, from Fruits Basket
