Line 21:
* '''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 ''[[Zero no Tsukaima (Light Novel)|Zero no Tsukaima]]'') 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]]." <br /><br />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|Double Standards]], 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.
* '''Type B''' (alias Type Dere or ''sweet''): These Tsundere have ''deredere'' as their default mood. They are [[Yamato Nadeshiko|sweet, kind and generous]], but just happen to have a [[Pervert Revenge Mode|hidden violent]] [[Unprovoked Pervert Payback|side as well]]. In this case, temper is almost always triggered by someone or something else, usually a [[Love Interest]]. Either they have [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]], or are an [[Idiot Ball|idiot]], or are an [[Accidental Pervert]], or just has no idea how to [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?|handle feelings of love and attraction]]. May also overlap with [[Violently Protective Girlfriend]] if her [[Love Interest]] is threatened or in danger. <br /><br />Type B should not be confused with a [[Yandere]]. If a Type B Tsundere were really convinced that their [[Love Interest]] didn't want them, they would revert back to the deredere side and probably enter an [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] phase.
See also the [[Tsundere/Analysis|Analysis page]] for more detailed information on common "strategies" employed by [[Tsundere]] characters, and other, related topics. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/116164-Science-Explains-Tsundere-Appeal Here] is a scientific explanation on the appeal of the tsundere character.
Line 27:
A common way of showing that a Tsundere has [[Character Development|mellowed or has had her heart won over]] by the [[Love Interest]] is to have her shift from Type A to Type B. If her motivations are inquired, she will often engage in a [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]], complete with a [[Luminescent Blush]] and total evasion of eye contact (cue the squeaks of [[Moe Moe]]).
When paired with a [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]], together they produce [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]. Sometimes a way of creating a [[Jerk Sue]]. Compare with [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]], [[Jerkass]], and [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]. Contrast with [[Tsunshun]], which shares the spiky exterior but has depression and self-doubt rather than kindness hiding underneath. When [[Flanderized]] tends to overlap with [[Mood Swinger]]. Also see [[Don't You Dare Pity Me]] and [[Anger Born of Worry]]. [[Aloof Ally]] may show the same hot-and-cold behavior but for differing reasons. Very fond of [[Pervert Revenge Mode]]. [[Shana Clone]] is a specific subtrope with a particular set of characteristics.
[[No Real Life Examples Please]]. For invoked examples (ex. Tsundere Cafes), those can go to the "Other" category.
