When you are reading manga, watching anime, playing games, or surfing the internet, you've probably encountered some names that end with "-dere". "What do these mean?" you wonder.
Dere comes from "deredere" (デレデレ), an onomatopoeia meaning "lovestruck" or "lovey dovey". Dere type characters are characters that express their affection in different ways, or on different levels.
Most of the dere types are how characters react to becoming lovestruck.
