'''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]].
 
'''Type 3 -- [[Mood Swinger|She Has Moods]]''': She alternates between her "kuu-" and "dere" persona depending on her mood. What controls her mood? Some may have clear [[Berserk Button|triggers]], and her companions might learn how to manipulate her to their advantage. Others might switch moods at what seems to be random moments- which can be very unnerving or confusing to those around her. Expect a joke about [[No Periods, Period|"that time of the month"]]. In really bad cases might start to overlap with [[Yangire]] or [[Yandere]]. Some might contend that this version isn't "kuu-" (cool) enough to qualify as a Kuudere, and might place them in some other category.
 
Obviously these variations aren't always used pure, and often are mixed together in different characters. Again using Raven as an example, while she fits the first variation best, she certainly has elements of the other two.

** Austria, too. Better seen in the strip right after the "Chibitalia" chapter, where much to Hungary's shock he takes up the rest of Chibitalia's daily chores for once.
*** And in the Valentines strip, when Germany pointed out that [[No Sense of Direction|he'd get lost if he went out]] to purchase a present for his ex-wife Hungary, he opted to make her a gift and ask someone else to give it to her. She was very much "aaaawwww" when she found out.
** Iceland was mentioned to be [[Hot -Blooded]] inside and keeping it cool outside. This was thought to be an [[Informed Ability]]... but he was shown in the latest Nordic strip being cool in the beginning and almost losing it at the end.
*** [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Defrosting]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Iceland?]]
** In [[Fanon]], [[Deadpan Snarker]] Hong Kong is usually rewritten as a kuudere. Makes sense considering the author's notes on him, which reveal him as a serious prankster.
