Line 10:
* Britanny Miller from ''[[Alvin and The Chipmunks]]'', towards Alvin Seville (and VICE VERSA).
* Gwen Tennyson in ''[[Ben 10]]'', mostly toward Ben.
* Linka from ''[[Captain Planet]]''. No, she doesn't like [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|Wheeler]] ''that way'' or so she says, but she's been [[Almost Kiss|close to kissing him several times]] and is his [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] whenever a female expresses interest in him, so...
** Actually she did kiss him right on the lips in the episode where he helped her saved her home town.
{{quote| '''Wheeler''': "Love your accent. You Russian?"<br />
'''Linka''': "Soviet!" }}
* Cindy Vortex from ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron]].'' She's far more "tsun" than "dere," but there are a few times she lets her true feelings for Jimmy slip through.
* Gwen from ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]''. She starts out acting Tsun, takes awhile to warm up to people, but in the end she agrees to go out with Trent. By the second season they broke up. Then third season, its the same with Duncan. While he is one himself. Dere to her, tsun to everyone else.
** Courtney also is a good example, although she can be somewhat nice, henceforth why she's also listed in Type B. She instantly takes a loathing for Duncan, yet she ends up [[Sleep Cute|falling asleep next to him]] in the Sucky Outdoors, and then kisses him in Basic Straining. After that, the tsundere aspect is greatly diminished after Courtney's Total Drama Action [[Took a Level In Jerkass|taking a level in jerkass.]]Then the Thundere act is compeletely dropped in ''World Tour'. She actually becomes more of a Yandere as an example of [[Derailing Love Interests]] so the writers can pair Duncan with Gwen.
*** Heather during ''World Tour'' is a perfect example of the Type A, going for the cold shoulder and insults towards Alejandro. She's even denying she likes him to Chef, and then stating in another (empty) confessional that he's "just ''so... perfect'''!"
Line 23:
* Some fans believe that this is the hidden behavior of Trixie Tang toward Timmy Turner in ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]''.
** In fact, in the episode ''Manic Mom-Day'' she truly behaves as a tsundere.
* This was the personality given to Zelda in the animated ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Animatedanimation)|Legend of Zelda]]'', although usually only when dealing with [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|Link]].
* [[Cute Monster Girl]] Callie Maggotbone on ''[[Ugly Americans]]'' is a ''chaotic'' type A.
** Shes working on it
Line 31:
** Bart actually got this a couple of times. When he ends up in Juvie, he becomes the target of a tough girl who may or may not like him. Bart is as confused by this girl as he was by Nikki, though this one is more (physically) painful.
* Heloise from ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' goes from tsun to dere when Jimmy shows up...and then to [[Yandere]] when her [[Green-Eyed Monster|jealousy]] gets the better of her.
* Megara from [[Hercules (Disney film)|Hercules]] is such a defining textbook example that her song from the film ("I Won't Say I'm in Love") has more or less become the official anthem of every type-A Tsundere ever. And Youtube is rife with fanmade music videos to prove it.
* Lily from ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'' must have the diaphram of ten lions and threatens physical pain not just on her target of affection Mikey but on the rest of the cast as well. Only once in a full moon does she admit that Mikey's sweet.
* Candace of [[Phineas and Ferb]] has some aspects of this. Most noticeable in "Split Personality", in which she's split into pure Tsun Tsun and pure Dere Dere duplicates.
Line 38:
* A rare male example: [[The Mean Brit|Kyle]] from ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]'' qualifies. While usually dismissing the titular duo's pushy friendliness with [[Deadpan Snarker|snark]], he has occasionally shown to crave their friendship in reality, most prominently in the episode "Sigmund the Sorcerer".
* Think one male tsundere is rare? How about ''two'' of them put into the same environment? [[Boisterous Bruiser|Buck Tuddrussel]] and [[Robot Buddy|Larry 3000]] from ''[[Time Squad]]'' refer to each other with great amounts of disdain in their default tsun mood, but if placed in a proper situation, can be nice, open and protective over each other (though they are never at the same time). This is more prominent with Larry, who is not subject to [[Testosterone Poisoning]].
* Sarah from [[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy|Ed, Edd & Eddy]]. It's hard to tell, because she's almost always in tsun-mode - occasionally going full-blown [[Ax Crazy]] - but she does have her occasional dere moments, mostly toward [[Camp Gay|Jimmy]].
 
 
== Type B ==
* [[X -Men: Evolution|Miss Jean Grey]], so much. She normally acts like a sweet and cheerful [[Cool Big Sis]] towards the younger kids, but goes cranky when Scott or Duncan are around. And there's her hidden jealousy against Rogue or Taryn...
* Wanda from ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'', who tends to do all the [[Tsundere]] methods. A fan wrote this in a review of [[Fan Fiction]] about Cosmo and Wanda's failing relationship:
** Wanda is not an instigator. The only time she takes to lashing out at Cosmo is after he has done something to insult or offend her. That is self defense - It is NOT nagging. Wanda reminds me much of C-4 explosive. Quite stable unless you put a fire under it. Fact of the matter is (9 times out of 10), Cosmo is the match lighting her fuse.
* Emily in the new ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine]]'' seasons. She's normally quite sweet until something sets her off. Usually when [[Mooks|the trucks]] start giving her crap, Thomas acts like a [[Bratty Half-Pint]], James acts like a [[Jerkass]], Gordon like an [[Upperclass Twit]], or if she just gets [[Incredibly Lame Pun|ideas above her station]].
* Wilma Flintstone from ''[[The Flintstones]]'' is a good example of a type B. She's all [[Yamato Nadeshiko|sweetness and light]] until her husband Fred goes from [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] to [[Jerkass]]. ''The Flintstones'' are probably a good example of what happens when a pair with [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] eventually gets their act together and finally [[Cannot Spit It Out|Spit It Out]].
* Then there's Annabelle, the angelic whippet from ''All Dogs Go to Heaven''. "Touch that watch and you can never go back...I SAID '''TOUCH THAT WATCH AND YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK!'''"
* Mitsuki from ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'', for Mikey. She is soft, dependent, shy, and kind the point where nobody else acknowledges her and they often forget her name, but in one episode it's revealed that {{spoiler|she used to be a secret agent before breaking into show business and can injure nearly anyone if need be}}.
* Courtney from ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]''. Generally polite if bossy, but if you get her mad, she gets bitchy and violent, especially around Duncan, as she shows her Tsun by refusing to admit she likes him.
{{quote| '''Duncan:''' ''(with his and Courtney's fake antlers stuck together)'' What can I say, the girl can't keep her antlers off me. <br />
''(Courtney responds by kicking him in the groin)'' }}
* Kuki aka Numbuh 3 from ''[[Kids Next Door]]'' is [[Kawaiiko|EXTREMELY cute and sweet]]... but she's very, ''very'' obstinate and prone to mood swings, especially when [[Toy Ship|arguing with Wally aka Numbuh 4]].
** If you look at it from another point of view, Wally's also a tsundere. He's the kind of kid who's crazy for action, but when Kuki's being sweet to him, he can't look at Kuki straight in the eye.
* Frankie from ''[[FostersFoster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' is very warm and nurturing towards the imaginary friends, but doesn't take too kindly to Mr. Herriman's pestering or Bloo's madness.
* Maurecia from [[Wayside (Animation)|Wayside]] is a [[Genki Girl]] who is extremely friendly and liked by everyone in Wayside School. And she expresses her [[All Love Is Unrequited|unrequited love]] for Todd by hitting him, ''constantly''.
* June from ''[[Ka Blam!]]'' is usually sweet and laid-back. However, when something bad happens (like Henry giving her crap or something won't go her way), she's pretty tough.
* By contrast to the obvious Type A William Murderface, [[Metalocalypse|Toki Wartooth]] is a Type B tsundere, usually being the nicest guy in the band, and treats every band member with a calm attitude... Except Skwisgaar, to whom he is specifically tsun towards. Still, it is pretty obvious that he does have a crush on him. Yes, [[Ho Yay|a male tsundere having the hots for another male character]].
* Giggles, of ''[[Happy Tree Friends]]'' infamy. While normally one of the sweetest and most social members of the cast, she absolutely [[Berserk Button|flips her shit whenever she sees someone harming the environment.]]
* Yo from ''[[Fanboy and Chum Chum]]'' is a [[Genki Girl]] with [[Love Makes You Crazy|obsessive tendencies towards the latter protagonist]] by default. Occasionally, especially when dealing with Fanboy, she will switch into tsun mode and become much less pleasant.
* Fluttershy from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|the fourth generation of My Little Pony]], especially in her relationship to animals. Often, she's very kind and sweet to them, acting as a [[Friend to All Living Things]]. But if the animals endanger her friends or make her feel unloved, she will ''flip.''
{{quote| "You're going to '''love me!!'''"}}
* Miss Grotke from ''[[Recess]]'' is for 95% of the time an [[Adorkable]] sweetheart. But when provoked....BewareTheNiceOnes.
Line 70:
* Velma in ''[[Scooby Doo Mystery Inc]]'' has become this, being sweet and romantic when she's alone with Shaggy but then becoming aloof and irritated when Scooby horns in.
* Zuko from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' is something of a prickly [[Jerkass]] most of the time, but has a soft, dorky center that he pretty much only shows around his [[Sugar and Ice]] girlfriend Mai.
* Duncan from ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]'' is Tsun-Tsun to nearly everybody, but dere-dere to Gwen and Courtney(untill the third season where he is more Tsun-Tsun to her than anybody else.)
* Non-romantic examples: [[The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan|Anne Chan]] is a mild Type B: Her dere-dere side is laid back and a [[Plucky Girl]] and her tsun-tsun is argumentative and competitive (especially around Tom and Alan). Henry is also a mild Type A when it comes to [[Straight Man and Wise Guy|Stanley]].
* Non-romantic example (most of the time): Spinelli from ''[[Recess]]'' is (usually) dere-dere towards the other five main kids, but tsun-tsun to everyone else. Also, she's the most dere-dere with T.J., whom it's hinted she has a crush on...
