Tsundere can be divided into two main categories, depending on their default mood:
 
* '''Type A''' (alias Type Tsun or ''harsh''): These Tsundere have ''tsuntsun'' as their default mood. It takes something special to trigger their deredere side. The intensity of the tsuntsun can range from "I must glare and fight my way through life" (Louise of ''[[ZeroThe noFamiliar Tsukaimaof Zero]]'') to grumpy pessimism (Kagami of ''[[Lucky Star]]''). It's about which part of the tsundere personality is the public face and which the hidden. If the Tsundere is [[The Rival]], she is more likely to be Type A. [[Rivals Team Up|Helping a rival out]] is usually accompanied by a line like "Don't get me wrong, [[I Was Just Passing Through|I'm not doing this for you]]." This is the "bear" in "bearcat".
 
:Type A can overlap with a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]], but usually not. The moods of a Tsundere tend to switch in reaction to the actions of select people or adverse scenarios; the deredere side usually only comes out when someone has acted in a way to trigger it. A [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] is jerkish in general regardless of whether the other person is mean or nice, and shows their [[Hidden Heart of Gold]] only when the situation warrants, regardless of how the other person had been acting. Male characters in particular should be considered for [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] status, as arguably because of [[Double Standard]]s, men are generally that instead of tsundere, although the [[Kuudere]] subtype is more equally split in gender. Oranyan is sometimes used to refer to a male tsundere character - incorrectly since it means the complete opposite.
