Interest Stacks

"kuudere" , also known as "cool-dere" in western media, is a term for a character who initially acts cold, expressionless, and indifferent to hide their loving feelings, but becomes cute, lovey-dovey, and deredere around their love interest after getting closer to them. although it might not appear like it at first, they are hiding a deep inner love that will come out after becoming close to their love interest. they have a clear separation of their character. they don't behave particularly notably when in a group, taking up a stiff cool appearance and a cold "don't get involved with me" aura that creates a wall between themselves and other people. they are also harshly blunt and straightforward with their thoughts which often leads to them making sharp-tongued statements without considering other's feelings.

however, they are also someone who desires love and when alone with their love interest they become so spoiled that their usual character falls apart. they usually have an unfriendly cool demeanor, but when they are alone with their love interest they become extremely clingy and have a more loving side than most. they will start behaving in cute ways, showing lots of emotions, blushing like crazy, and wanting their love interest to give them lots of affection. they are a character with a very drastic gap. after spending enough time with their love interest they will even feel comfortable showing this side of themselves in public, becoming a much more cheerful and emotional person overall.
