Line 10:
** ''[[Tales of Phantasia]]'' is a subversion of this trend only in that the [[Tsundere]] did not get paired up with the lead. There was an awkward love triangle for a while, but it was mercifully dropped the moment said tsundere [[Cute Witch|Arche]] met [[The Lancer|Chester]]. It also came before there was a trend to be established; the first tsundere lead was [[Tales of Destiny|Rutee Katrea]].
** Oh, and [[Tales of Vesperia|Rita Mordio]]. Although in this case, her deredere side comes out with ''[[Les Yay|Estelle]]''. Also from ''Vesperia'' is Nan, who acts this way towards Karol. She reveals this most when she fights him as the last fight for his version of the 100-Man Melee, when she even explicitly says that she's fighting him because she can't have the guy she marries be weak. Followed by him [[Oblivious to Love|wondering why she's attack him then]], further triggering her ''tsun'' side. In fairness to Karol, [[Adorably Precocious Child|he's about ten years old]].
** ''[[Tales of Hearts]]'' presents another subversion to the "Hero x Tsundere" pattern. While it initially looks like love interest Kohak is going to be a tsundere, she's pretty mild, and [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]] Beryl Benito soon turns out to be a much more advanced case, nursing a crush on Shing for about 70% of the game. And on the distaff side, [[The Lancer|Hisui]] can be found struggling this way over his burgeoning 'ship with [[Mysterious Waif|Richea]].
** There's also a mild, subverted case in ''[[Tales of Rebirth]]'', but not about [[The Hero]], though. [[The Medic|Annie Barrs]] ''really'' hates [[Big Badass Wolf|Eugene Gallardo]], but she always does help him. When asked why, she usually replies like "I-it's not that I have forgiven him..." Unlike other Tsunderes, though, Annie is not very violent with the other members, and after she forgives Eugene, she stops being a Tsundere, and their relationship were strictly non-romantic.
** Leon in ''[[Tales of Destiny]]''. Although in the original game, he was a complete jerk who never accepted his former companions as friends, the Remake rectified his personality. Although initially mistrusting and openly stating that he dislikes [[The Hero|Stahn Aileron]], he eventually caves into [[Defrosting Ice Queen|his persistent attempts to befriend him]] and agrees to fight alongside him as a companion. {{spoiler|Of course, he then makes a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] moments after agreeing to accompany [[The Hero]] once more, and he STILL states that he dislikes him, and that he never accepted that he was a friend.}} Doesn't help that he looks... [[Bishounen|rather girly]] despite his masculine voice and fights like a [[Lady of War]].
