#12 Signs as 'Dere-Types'

Yandere:

Aries & Taurus

Descripton-

Yandere (ヤンデレ) is a portmanteau of two Japanese words yanderu (病んでる), meaning to be sick, and deredere (デレデレ), which is defined as strongly and deeply exhausted, infatuated, moonstruck, head-over-heels, or lovestruck, but in this case used for "lovestruck."

Kuudere:

Leo & Virgo

Description-

Like with tsundere, the dere part comes from "deredere" in Japanese which means to become lovey-dovey. So the basis of a kuudere character is someone who stays aloof, potentially making it clear that this is well below them, but in reality they actually have a very soft spot for the main character.

Dandere:

Sagittarius & Capricorn

Description-

The "dan" in dandere comes from the Japanese word "danmari" (黙り) meaning silence. Thus a dandere is a quiet and often antisocial character. Danderes often want to be sociable but are too scared or too embarrassed to talk.

Tsundere:

Gemini & Cancer

Description-

Tsundere (ツンデレ, pronounced [tsɯndeɾe]) is a Japanese term for a character development process that describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing a warmer side over time.

Himedere:

Libra & Scorpio

Description-

- A "himedere" girl is like a "tsundere" or a "kuudere" but too princess-like to fit into either category.

Deredere:

Aquarius & Pisces

Description-

And when it comes to characters, there are no more commonly used archetypes than those known as the "deres": tsundere, kuudere, dandere, and yandere. To start with, the term "dere" itself comes from the Japanese word "deredere" (デレデレ) which is the onomatopoeia for being lovestruck.
