"Deredere" (often shortened to "dere") is a term used in anime and manga to describe a character archetype who is affectionate, loving, and sweet. The term is often used in combination with other prefixes to describe different character types. One of the most well-known and popular anime dere types is the Tsundere, a character who initially displays a cold, aggressive, or aloof demeanor but eventually shows a warmer and more loving side.
Matching each MBTI personality type with a Tsundere character can be a subjective exercise since anime characters can vary greatly in their personalities, and different viewers may interpret characters differently. However, here's a list of some popular Tsundere characters that could be associated with each MBTI type:
