Line 13:
* Pregnant o'rants in the ''[[Dragon Keeper Chronicles]]'' are like this.
* Annabeth from ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'' is a typical tsundere character.
*** ''The Demigod Files'' basically make it canon. Annabeth's questions include 'What is Percy Jackson's most annoying quality?' Her response could have been taken right out of any Japanese anime, including the hilarious-to-a-troper line...
{{quote|'''Annabeth:''' He doesn't see really obvious stuff, like the way people feel, even when you're giving him hints and being totally blatant. What? [[Blatant Lies|No I'm not talking about anyone or anything in particular.]]}}
**:* In ''The Demigod Files'', when Beckendorf tells Percy that Annabeth likes him, his response is: "Yeah, she likes me... for target practice."
**:* She acts mostly ''tsun'' in the first book (The Lightning Thief) and has clear traits of both sides in ''The Battle of the Labyrinth'' (book four).
*:* Nico di Angelo also has some traits of a tsundere character, altho not in a romantic way. He mostly acts cold (which doesn't always include typical ''tsun'' moments) but is known to soften at times.
*:* Clarrise takes the "fight through life" portion of this to heart, (since she's the daughter of Ares) and we only see her kind side after she {{spoiler|saves Chris Rodriguez from the Labyrinth and attempts to nurse him back to sanity.}}
* The ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe]]''{{'}}s Mara Jade. She's a Type A [[Mama Bear]]; [[Achilles' Heel|baiting]] her is hideously risky at best, and suicidal at worst.
* Heleth, from the ''[[Col Sec Trilogy]]'', is a [[The Napoleon|compact, quick-tempered]] [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]] who's always bickering with or getting needled by the resident [[Keet]] (when she's not bickering with someone ''else''). Every so often, you get the impression that she ''doesn't'' outright ''hate'' him.
* In ''[[Twilight Dragon]]'', Keaira Aleshire fits this trope to a T, and she doesn't just act this way towards her crush.
* Karrin Murphy in ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' keeps calling Harry names, even beats him to a pulp on a few occasions, but mellows at the moment's notice whenever he hurts himself badly or saves her life (again). Pointing that out to her, however, is likely to earn you another beating.
* Diana from the ''[[Gone (novel)|Gone]]'' series, whenever she's around Caine.
* [[Action Girl|Zhou Qi]] from [[Jin Yong|Jin Yong's]]'s ''The Book and The Sword''. While she is somewhat abrasive to anyone, with the possible exception of her father, she reserves most of her wrath for [[The Strategist|Xu Tianhong]]: constantly berating and insulting him in front of others, {{spoiler|only to break down crying when she realizes that [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|he's left out of respect for her chastity]]}}.
* Dedicate Rosethorn from the ''[[Circle of Magic]]'' series is this with a hint of [[Kuudere]]. A particularly cute example can be found in Sandry's Book when after terrifying the [[Nakama|four children]] for the first half of the book, Briar hugs her and she blushes.
** Tris is certainly a fledgling Tsundere as well.
Line 34:
* Bridget Jones from ''[[Bridget Jones|Bridget Jones's Dairy]]'' is type A thanks to the way she expresses herself in her diary (being annoyed.) She, however, is lovestruck with [[Romantic False Lead|Daniel Cleaver]] even though she's being sarcastic to him at times.
* Marcia Overstrand in ''[[Septimus Heap]]''. While normally being easily irritable and bossy, she can become very caring at times of trouble.
* In ''[[WarriorsWarrior SeriesCats]]'', specifically in ''Bluestar's Prophecy'', [[Bluestar Tsundere]] was seen as a clear Type A tsundere example towards her mate Oakheart. She would lose all her patience with him and was quite snappy, especially when she was in denial about her feelings for him since she couldn't be mates with a cat from another Clan. Despite this, Bluestar geniunelygenuinely loved Oakheart and since there parting, was the only cat she ever truly loved.
** Sandstorm is also a tsundere. She was greatly distainfuldisdainful and looked down on Firestar due to his kittypet blood, but when he saves her life during a border fight, she realizes that she misunderstood Firestar and develops a strong bond and friendship with him. Sandstorm fell in love with Firestar at one point and Firestar with her and they have been together since. Though Sandstorm is regarded as a sharp-tonged, short-tempered, and independent she-cat and Firestar is not spared because of her feelings towards him, since he is afraid of her when she is angry.
** Sandstorm's daughter, Squirrelflight, became a second generation tsundere, since her mother passed her personality to her. [[Squirrelflight Tsundere]] is the most fitting to this trope since is some ways, she is even worse than Sandstorm. Squirrelflight is proud, independantindependent, incredibly impulsive, very rude and a spitfire of a warrior, making her a Type A, though she agruablearguably had mellowed out with age ''though only slightyslightly.'' Squirrelflight's relationship with her former mate Brambleclaw was that of any Main Character/Tsundere couple. She was greatly annoyed with his bossy attitude and hated him, Brambleclaw in turn hating her talkative, immature personality. She forced Brambleclaw to take her on his journey to the Sun-drown-place, which he had reluctantly with many protests, agreed to, since she would have followed him anyway. Over the course of the The New ProphectProphecy Series, Squirrelflight fell deeply in love with Brambleclaw and they got together. However, there relationship deteriated due to Squirrelight never telling until way later that her kits were not actually his or hers, and they belonged to her sister Leafpool.
