What's the purpose of this wiki?
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. This wiki tries to collect as much information as possible about each type of dere, including lists, galleries and quotes with some characters as examples.
Now go and explore this little wiki and learn everything about all the dere types!

What exactly do these words ending with "-dere" mean?
**"Dere"** comes from *"deredere"* (デレデレ), an onomatopoeia meaning "lovestruck" or "lovey-dovey". Dere types are characters that express their affection in different ways, or on different levels.

Most of the dere types are how characters react after falling in love or after becoming lovestruck, but dere types can also be used in a platonic way for characters that show a sweet and caring side towards loved ones.
