The -dere Diarys: a look into archtypes

Just like every other media form out there, anime sometimes uses Character archetypes, or Character templates. In more recent years certain Archetypes have built their own fandoms, most noticeably the romance evolution Archetypes, Or the -Dere's. Majority of the these archetypes generally get stuck onto females but on occasion you will see them portrayed thru male characters. There are many types of -deres out there and ill introduce a few here, and i will expand on them further later.

To start what is "-Dere":
-Dere is short for dere dere meaning, "to become lovey dovey" (very basic translation).

There are Four primary -Deres's

Tsundere- A tsundere is a ice queen or a bitch. she(or he) is cold, rude, maybe even hostile to her interest but slowly she warms up to said interest.

Yandere- Cute, innocent, sweet, until her interest shifts interest or someone "makes the moves" on said interest, at which point paranoia and psychotic hostility take over usually ending in murder.   

Kuudere- A doll, unemtional, level headed and usualy blunt with opinions, until someone comes along and "triggers" it all then the character opens up to her core group.

Dandere-Antisocial, nervous, bookworm, usualy silent and they open up only to a few people. a few people that have worked to earn their trust.

 

And these are the main four, I plan on doing more in depth on several of these archetypes and other lesser mentioned archetypes. So as the Tsundere would say "its not like I p-p-posted This for you, B-b-baka(baka is japanese for idiot)"
