In many of these games or CDs, there might be a character who fits a specific "dere" archetype—you know, like tsundere, kuudere, yandere, etc.
So, what is your favorite "dere" type?
My personal favorites are Yandere and Deredere, though I love it when the two are combined. (I'm also interested in tsunderes and danderes.) I love yandere characters who are willing to do anything for the protagonist—and it's even better if they fall in love right from the start.
I've included definitions from VNDB below so that anyone who is interested—or isn't quite sure about the differences—can read them and decide.
Yandere: "Yandere is a Japanese term for a person who is initially very loving and gentle to someone before their devotion becomes destructive in nature, often through violence."
Tsundere: "Tsundere is a Japanese character development process which describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing their warm side over time."
Kuudere: "Kuuderes start as cold or impersonal towards the protagonist (and, possibly, everyone else) and then develop feelings for the protagonist as the story progresses."
Mayadere: "A deadly dangerous tsundere, a mayadere hero usually starts as an antagonist but switches sides after falling in love. This hero is unpredictable and dangerous for everyone including his romantic interest."
Dandere: "A dandere character is one who is usually antisocial and silent, that eventually changes to display their sweet, romantic, and loving soft side."
Deredere: "One of the heroes is deredere - he is utterly lovestruck with the protagonist essentially from the moment he meets him or her."
As I mentioned, these definitions came from VNDB.
That said, I know there are other "dere" types out there. Feel free to leave a comment if your favorite isn't in the poll, or if you not have a specific preference or just like a bit of everything.
Likewise, if you want to mention your favorite dere type—or a specific character—you can do so.
P.S. The poll allows you to select multiple options, since I know many of you have more than one—so feel free to choose whichever ones you like.
¡Me encantaría saber tu opinión!
