Kichidere/Japanese Characters

"Kichidere" is a term for 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. They have usually experienced some kind of psychological trauma during their childhood which caused them to develop severe mental illnesses and twisted ways of thinking. However, despite this side of them they will show a more loving and overly affectionate side towards their love interest. Often their love interest is the one who shows them happiness for the first time which causes them to fall in love. Their love interest will want to save them and help them to overcome their trauma and insanity. The love they have for their love interest will motivate them to continue improving themselves and slowly over time they will become a better and happier person. In some cases, with the help of their love interest they may even be able to completely overcome the trauma that caused their mental health issues and become a purely deredere and normal cheerful person.
This is not to be confused with:
* Yandere - A character whose love, admiration, and devotion to their love interest is so strong that it causes them to become mentally unstable. Unlike a kichidere they were not crazy before falling in love, but their mental illness is caused by a too strong love.
