Often seen as a bland 'dere' Archtype, I find the Deredere is a great way to offer a positive lens or uplifting philosophical view in situations where gloomier character types would despair or be enraged. Protagonists such as the Goddess Belldandy (Ah! My Goddess), Hanato Kobato (Kobato), Akari Mizunashi (ARIA), and the Persocom Chii (Chobits) represent well the uplifting character type the Deredere represents, who typically view the world with a degree of innocence & wonderment at the simple beauty or joys of their respective worlds. These characters often turn despair into hope or try to see the bright side in a crisis. Seeing such innocent characters in distress often motivates other archetypes to decisive action and can serve as powerful motivators in the plot, placing the happy centre of a cast in peril. In all works, situations where the often calmly composed Deredere is torn from their social circle due to peril in the plot, serve to illustrate just how integral to some casts these positive 'anchor characters' can be, with the usual calm/social order collapsing rapidly with their absence or having them in crisis. The way they 'accentuate the positive' constantly often get them slapped with the label of overly saccharine or sickly sweet, but such uplifting characters can often provide great contrast to antagonists with more vile or malevolent motives, or offer positive perspectives when others fall into despair or melancholy, because the Deredere is often like a sun that never sets, constantly casting brightness into all the situations their lives throw at them, with the Deredere usually typifying the adage "Seeing the brightside!"
