A "Dandere" is a character archetype commonly found in anime and manga. This type of character is typically shy and introverted, often avoiding social interactions. Danderes may appear quiet and reserved, but they often have a deep emotional side that is revealed when they become comfortable with others. They may struggle to express their feelings, making their character development particularly engaging. In many stories, Dandere characters are portrayed as intelligent and sensitive individuals. They often have a strong bond with a more outgoing character, which helps them come out of their shell. Popular examples of Dandere characters include Hinata Hyuga from Naruto and Yuki Nagato from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
