'''Type 1 -- Always In Control''': She comes off as "kuu-" (cool) because she controls her emotions. She maintains a calm, collected exterior regardless of how she feels. She doesn't conceal her feelings, and will directly and honestly tell you how she feels, but her expressions are subtle, with watery eyes |
'''Type 1 -- Always In Control''': She comes off as "kuu-" (cool) because she controls her emotions. She maintains a calm, collected exterior regardless of how she feels. She doesn't conceal her feelings, and will directly and honestly tell you how she feels, but her expressions are subtle, with watery eyes [[media:Raven-Collage-teen-titans-35077_500.jpg| being akin]] to bawling, and a [[When She Smiles|small smile]] [[media:ravenhhat_1333.jpg| being akin to a]] [[media:HappyRaven.jpg| giggle fit]]. Or all her feelings may be filtered through [[:File:RavenTeenTitans 6857.jpg|snark]] or [[Deadpan Snarker|dry wit]]. The appeal is her [[Brutal Honesty|bluntness and directness]], in contrast to shy reserve or boisterous rowdiness. If she's the [[Love Interest]] either the other partner will be the source of [[Will They or Won't They?]], or they'll skip that and the focus will be on the drama that comes after they admit [[They Do]]. Often be [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask]]. When she [[Becoming the Mask|becomes]] [[The High Queen|the mask]], the "dere" part usually withers and falls off. Occasionally this is a trait of a more exaggerated character, the [[Emotionless Girl]], (or so she claims). Our page picture, Raven, is an example of this variation. |

'''Type 2 -- Once You Get To Know Her''': She will show her dere side to those she cares for -- but strangers and those she does not trust or like will see the kuu side. In this case, each new acquaintance has to [[Defrosting Ice Queen|defrost an ice queen persona]] to get to know her -- but it's how EVERYONE gets to know her. Her friends all consider her to be caring and in private moments with them you may just catch her laughing. (Although it will still be considered unusual). It's not that she spares them any of the [[Deadpan Snarker|wit]] or doesn't act "kuu-" with them sometimes. Her friends just understand it better than those that aren't close. She might have a [[Broken Bird|painful past]]. |
