A tsundere character is often depicted as initially cold, aloof, or even hostile towards others, particularly those they care about. This behavior is often used as a coping mechanism to hide their true feelings, which are often strong positive emotions such as love or friendship. Despite their initial harsh demeanor, they gradually warm up to those around them, eventually showing their true, caring, and affectionate side. A tsundere character is often characterized by their use of sarcasm, insults, and exaggerated expressions of annoyance or discomfort when expressing their true feelings or being the center of affection.
