Defrosting Ice Queen: Difference between revisions

* Mai Kujaku/Valentine from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''. Kaiba as well, though to a slightly lesser degree.

* In ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'', Shana begins the series as an ice queen, cold, not caring for anyone. She sees herself as 'just a Flame Haze' and Yuji as 'just a Torch'. After some heartwarming from Yuji she comes to realize that he is more than just a torch and develops feelings for him when she sees a rival for his affections.

* A prime example of this trope is the [[Tsundere]] Sakura from ''[[Naruto]]''. She was often seen as a [[Jerkass]] to Naruto and greatly misunderstood him in the beginning, seeing him as merely "annoying" and "stupid" whose goal in life was to make her feel bad. Though all Naruto wanted/wants was to win her over someday. Over time, she warms up to him immensely and sees the "real" Naruto, taking back her original thoughts. It could even be argued that when she is older, she developed feelings for him but that is unclear.

* Dr. Atsuko Chiba from ''[[Paprika]]''. Her warm and silly side only comes out when {{spoiler|she's in dreamland as Paprika, who's modeled on her secret crush.}}
