What is a Dandere?


What is between with Kuudere and Dandere ?

As far as I understand it's meaning, Kuudere is cool, and emotionless (real or fake). While Dandere is usually really Shy. But both similar with the attitude of being not harsh and rude just like what Tsundere.
While they both seem to be rather similar, there is one key difference. Being a dandere implies a degree of (physical) silence that you might not have with a kuudere.


Saber from Fate/Stay Night would be a kuudere because while she doesn't show much emotion, she does engage in conversations.
Yuki from The Melancholoy of Haruhi Suzumiya, on the other hand, is a dandere, simply because she is almost constantly silent- and only speaks promptly when called upon.


A dandere is a character archtype that entails someone being quiet which is usually associated with shyness. "Dan" comes from the word "danmari" which means silent and taciturn. "Dere" means to become "lovey dovey"
