Yandere/Japanese Characters

"Yandere" is a term for a character who at first is very sweet, loving, innocent, and overly affectionate like a normal deredere, but over time begins exhibiting signs of being mentally sick as a result of having a too strong love. Their love, admiration, and devotion to their love interest is so strong that it causes them to gradually develop an unstable mental state. They are the kind of character who will act all deredere and lovey-dovey when their relationship with their romantic partner is going well, but when something triggers jealousy or possessiveness they act impulsively in a way that makes them seem mentally ill. Their love is expressed as an excessive obsession towards their love interest. They become so attached to their love interest that it's impossible to let go and they may begin doing immoral things such as stalking their love interest or even using violence as a last resort towards anyone who "threatens" their relationship. They entrust themselves to their love interest, trusting in their love interest's kindness. They probe the deepest recesses of their love interest's heart to more perfectly form their greatest self within their love interest.
This is not to be confused with:
* Kichidere - A character who has gone insane and acts like a crazy lunatic, but whose romantic feelings toward their love interest are surprisingly cute and deredere. Unlike a yandere their mental illness is not caused by a too strong love, but rather they were crazy before falling in love.
* Yangire - A character with yandere traits, but whose mentally unstable state did not come as a result of too strong love. This behavior is different from that of a yandere in regard to the reason that sparked the change in the character. A yandere becomes mentally sick as a result of having a too strong for their love interest and their reasons for doing anything are motivated purely by their love, whereas a yangire becomes mentally sick as a result of jealousy, loss, bullying, irritation, or something similar, and is a lot more dangerous because they are driven entirely by selfish desires.
