''Idiot''.
 
...'ahem.' Yes. So. The Japanese term ''tsundere'' refers to a character who "runs hot and cold", alternating between two distinct moods: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS4mRlNCV8g tsuntsun] (''aloof'' or ''irritable'') and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBFXUospjjk deredere] (''lovestruck''). The equivalent English term, at least during [[The Roaring Twenties]], is "[[bearcat]]".
 
The tsuntsun can range from the "silent treatment" to "lovestruck kindergartener who pushes you into the sandbox." The reasons behind a Tsundere's behavior vary widely. Some are reasonable [[Justified Trope|justifications]]. Others simply flow from the conflict between their feelings about the object of their affections and their reactions to having them.
