__TOC__
== Usually ''tsuntsun'' ("Type A") ==
* Fio from ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20170802124754/http://www.revenant-braves.schala.net/ Circumstances of the Revenant Braves]'' is a soft example of Type A.
* Faye in ''[[Questionable Content]]''.
** She's also a bit of a subversion, as she's aware she has "issues" and is currently seeking professional help for them. (Even if she agreed to seek that help in order to avoid the ''other'' elephant in the room (Marten's feelings towards her))
*** The Tsundere attitude itself is lampshaded and deconstructed when Raven points out that [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=444 these things may have consequences.]
** Also lampshaded by a shirt with the word 'Tsundere' printed on the front which she [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1548 occasionally wears]. Interestingly, the shirt was [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1525 a gift from Hanners], who wasn't entirely sure that Faye would understand the reference.
** Dora is arguably a Type B herself, particularly as shown [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1323 here] when finding out that Marten had a girl flirt with him.
** Hell, Type A is essentially the selling point of ''[[Doomy Dooms of Doom|Coffee of Doom]]'' the coffee shop Dora owns, as its customers seem to enjoy being served by the tsuntsun Faye.
* Kate in ''[[Misfile]]'' alternates between this and [[Kuudere]]. She's not in love with the protagonist and treats [[Gender Bender|him/her]] as a little sister. But Ash is still one of the three people in the comic who can draw out anything resembling deredere from Kate. {{spoiler|We could assume she's softened up for Harry a little, since she acts as his secretary without complaint and eventually ''marries'' him. For the most part her face is blank now that her sister isn't haunting her, but the temper Kate had? All natural.}}
* Aubrey started out as this in ''[[Something
* Annys in ''Magichero''.
* Dree from ''[http://community.livejournal.com/dante_res_comic Dante Residential]''.
Line 16:
** Kada Jansen, too. Well, except for the part about friendships with other women, because the only other females in the "Oceans Unmoving" saga are either flashback-only characters or enemies.
** Sasha, however, [[Subverted Trope|subverts]] this trope, [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/010206 being a very different kind of girlfriend for Riff than Gwynn].
{{quote|
'''Riff:''' Whatever you want.
'''Torg:''' This is more than just a ''little'' creepy, Riff.
'''Riff:''' "Creepy?" Torg, it's about ''Gwynn!'' ''How'' do I explain to my ''current girlfriend'' that my ''ex-girlfriend'', currently demon-possessed, is haunting my dreams and might be stopping by any day to ''collect all our souls?''
'''Torg:''' No, that's not creepy. I was talking about Sasha. She isn't hurt or angry, just ''curious''.
'''Riff:''' Oh, ''that!'' You get used to it. }}
* Sheena from ''[[Kid Radd]]'', of the [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]], [[Only Sane Man|surrounded by fools]] variety. In other words, she's [[Lucky Star
* Hayasaka Erika from ''[[Megatokyo]]''. She's bitter and sarcastic most of the time, and has occasional violent outbursts. When she first met Largo, she broke his arm. But when Largo shows he respects her for who she is, not the star she once was, the ''deredere'' comes out in full force.
** Also Miho and Piro.
*** Miho generally hides it under scorn, but once you get past that she's stereotypical type A.
*** Piro is a bit of a weird one. He's nice to strangers, frustrated with Largo, and a type B with his girlfriend (though he's pretty good at keeping the ''tsuntsun'' from getting out of hand). When he's talking about/to Miho, however, he goes full Type A.
* Lynda of ''[[Penny and Aggie]]'', towards Rob, in the "Modern Maturity" arc which [[Whole
* Aeris from ''[[VG Cats]]'', towards Leo Leonardo III.
* Lucy from ''[[Bittersweet Candy Bowl]]'' is a pretty excellent example of this {{spoiler|until she ''finally'' admits to her feelings for Mike}}.
** {{spoiler|Actually, Lucy is a [[Deconstruction]] of the [[Tsundere]] trope. Her punching and striking Mike is not played for laughs, and Mike's reaction to this and the consequences of her behavior is arguably a realistic depiction of what a real, hard-core [[Tsundere]] would be like.}}
* Morrienoah Jin from ''[[Trace]]'' is a male example.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20140113051353/http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/1069384/page-206-you-know-if-theres-time/ Layla] from ''[[Far Out There]]'' would seem to qualify.
* BLU Scout from the ''[[
* While the trolls in ''[[
** Karkat is a slightly more typical example - he rants and yells at basically everyone he comes across, but every now and then he'll display how much he truly cares [[Jerk
*** Unfortunately there's evidence that Karkat's behavior is a result of being a people person, in a species where being psychologically healthy means being a Grade-A misanthrope, and aware of both his own damaged psychology, and the social stigma attached to it.
* Colette Pickman in ''[[Ow
* Natani, from [[
* Yuudai from ''[[
** He is also [[Ho Yay|notably flustered]] when [[No Sense of Personal Space|Taisei]] is not put off by Yuudais [[Jerkass]] behaviour and instead immediately accepts Yuudai as his friend and pulls him into some sort of "bro hug", thus invading Yuudais normally well-protected comfort zone. He then begins to treat Taisei a bit better and even defends him when someone yells at him and treats him rudely, showing that he does care.
* Carol from [[Between Failures]].
Line 45:
* The boss in [http://chainsawsuit.com/2011/10/21/cautions-from-a-former-employer/ this] [[Chainsawsuit]] strip is a rare male tsundere.
== Usually ''deredere'' ("Type B") ==
* Kei's mother from ''[
* ''[[
** Susan is mostly Type A, but [[Character Development]] was good for her. Now, rather than flip out, whack a manipulative pickup artist with [[Hyperspace Mallet]] and leave in a huff like she would in the beginning of the comic, she can look him in the eyes and coldly dissect his flaws. Which also works better. She still have problems and [[Cannot Spit It Out]], though.
** The more recent addition is Ashley - who first seems to be Tsundere, but later turns out to be more of [[Dandere]], except slightly hyperactive and prone to panic and/or blush, given half a chance. [http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1727 N-not that she have a crush on Elliot!] After he [http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1731 saved her phone] with some timely [[Wall Jump|wall running]] (she's seen 2 pages later... blushing). Ah, [http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1785 why bother].
** [http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1840 Later] played for laughs when [[Lovable Alpha Bitch|Diane]] discovered Elliot dates someone and turned out to have it ''even worse''.
{{quote|'''Diane''': (ranting over a clenched fist) I was going to give him space, but if competition is on the move, and taking advantage of his fragile emotions, ''then so must I!'' ''She thinks she knows seduction?!''
'''Diane''': (strikes a [[Sexy Silhouette]] pose) ''She'' doesn't know what seduction ''is!''
'''Diane''': (stops ranting and strikes a faux-haughty pose) Not that I'm interested in him or anything.
'''Grace''' and '''Ellen''': (giving her strange looks) ''...[[You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!|seriously?]]''}}
*** Also, [http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2059 not that she is a secret fangirl of Nanase or anything].
* Emily from ''[[Misfile]]'' is quite capable of turning into the [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] anytime someone else puts the moves on Ash, but fond of giving Ash the cold shoulder or verbal smackdown if Ash makes a move on her. This is because Ash is [[Gender Bender|currently a girl]] and Emily [[Transparent Closet|is not gay at all]].
* ''[[Something
* ''[[Questionable Content
* Jean Poule in ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]'' is a Type B.
== Unsorted ==
Line 60 ⟶ 67:
* Laika in ''[[Tsunami Channel]]'''s "Experimental Comic Kotone".
** To a lesser degree, Lisa, too.
* Parley from ''[[
** From [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=586 tsun to dere], and then... [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=588 both simultaneously.] Eventually her tsun-ness [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=975 completely disappears.]
* Parodied in [http://manga.clone-army.org/t42r.php?page=269〈= this strip] of ''Tomoyo42's Room''. (Comic [[NSFW]].)
* Monique from ''[[Sinfest]]'' pretty much gives equal time for her "tsun" and "dere" aspects, especially with [[Casanova Wannabe|Slick]]. Fuchsia, on the other hand, is either this or a [[Yandere]].
* ''[[Nerf Now]]'' is quite fond of this as seen [http://nerfnow.com/comic/245 here] and [http://nerfnow.com/comic/252 here].
** It can extend to [http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/530 love of games] as well.
* In ''[[General Protection Fault]]'', a grown up Sydney in the [[Bad Future]] acts like this toward Todd, expressing irritation at having to save him from police bots and his defeatist attitude regarding the rebellion, but sees him off on his time traveling mission with a kiss. According to an older Professor Wisebottom, she has loved him for years but has never told him.
* Yuki from ''[[Ménage à 3]]'' is an extreme type B towards Zii, and an extreme type A to Gary. In fact, she's leaning towards being a deconstruction, since her tsundere tendencies lean uncomfortably towards [[Yandere]], and she's starting to realize how destructive that behavior is.
** And now Sonya seems to be one [http://www.menagea3.net/strips-ma3/never_want_to_see_you_again towards Gary].
* Layla from ''[[Eerie Cuties]]''. Prone to mood swings, like going [http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/beat_up_in_the_shower from jealous malice to helpless laughter] to magnanimity toward her previous target under a minute. Mainly caused by a sweet, but messed up relationship (though amusingly, her boyfriend ''likes'' it when she shows some claws too, so [[Slap Slap Kiss|the tsundere thing works for them either way]]), posturing and maybe pain in the neck from looking up at her mother. She neither bothers to nor stoops to act the part of an [[Alpha Bitch]], but seems to value the high status she got without trying, while unable to [[Silk Hiding Steel|back it up with will, brain and social skills]] like her mother does, so she just plays Ice Queen unless distracted by something.
