| abstract | - Danderes are easily mistaken for kuuderes due to their seemingly cold and distant natures, and some can even appear to be kuuderes at first. A good example of this is Akame from Akame Ga Kill!, who is initially introduced as a seemingly very serious and cold-hearted person but is later revealed to be just socially awkward and is actually a very caring person who considers losing a friend as the worst pain someone can endure and something she'll never get used to. Dandere is very similar to the American term 'shrinking violet' and so characters who fit that term, such as Violet Parr, can be called danderes as a substitute. Danderes are perhaps the most heroic of the four -dere terms as they are never villains and hardly ever anti-heroes though exceptions for the latter, such as Akame, do exist.
