History Tsundere / VisualNovels

* Riho towards Shinichi in VisualNovel/{{Deardrops}}. In her route, it is revealed that she'd been impressed with how he managed to dedicate his life to music and play in a professional orchestra in Germany and was disappointed and angry at him for squandering that chance and returning to Japan.

*** Likewise, in FateExtra, the lady is not [[NamesTheSame the same one we know of]]... and yet she is a Tsundere, through and through.
*** If the name Rin Tohsaka is involved, the one big thing that gets carried over (outside of [[ZettaiRyouiki her appearance]]) is her Tsundere nature. The exceptions are Fate/Zero, where she is noticeably less Tsundere and more of a {{Determinator}} and in a future seen in Hollow Ataraxia, where she was very deredere and openly states that she can grant Shirou happiness the most, and vice versa.

*** Shiki here is a rather interesting case, since she doesn't fit into any one type in the dere family having parts from them all (which mirrors the concept of her powers). Is a Type Tsun, she has hints of a {{Yandere}} (whom is both Possessive and Obsessive to a degree), {{Kuudere}} (mostly by Non-Verbal Cues and is a Cynic). That said... the dere is all the same, directed specifically at Mikiya Kokutou and no one else (except maybe Azaka, who she has a strange fondness towards. In her own way at least). Shiki Ryougi can and will fight to keep this status quo with Mikiya, and god help you if you are in the way.

** Rin Tohsaka in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' has earned a somewhat memetic status as a tsundere; however, she is actually a more realistic example than many others. She likes being always competent and never in the wrong, but, under most circumstances, lives up to her own standards. She doesn't act impulsively, admits her (rare) mistakes, and prefers to be on good terms with anyone she can. Those whom she can't stand, though, are humiliated swiftly and decisively, and she is a remarkable DeadpanSnarker; thus she can come off as harsh in "Fate". Starting from "Unlimited Blade Works" (where she's the main love interest, and her dere side comes out) and onwards, though, she is increasingly defined by the trope. In the last scenario, "Heaven's Feel", she again plays WorthyOpponent-turns-TheLancer role ([[IncrediblyLamePun considering her servant]]), but she's still ''very'' Tsundere. The focus of it just shifts from Shirou to [[spoiler:her sister,]] Sakura. In fact, in some ways, HF is where her Tsundere nature (and the reasons behind it) is most obvious (''especially'' at the end). A perfect example (which made it into the anime) is the scene where she goes from ''trying to blast Shirou senseless'' to tending his Rider-inflicted wounds in the space of a few minutes.

* Teru Saeki in ''Franchise/TokimekiMemorial Girl's Side 2'' is a complicated example who vacillates between types depending on which persona he's putting forward at the moment. Initially he seems Sweet, nice to most of his classmates but rude to the protagonist; spending more time with him reveals him as more Harsh, since his rude behavior is his [[BeneathTheMask real self]] while his "school idol" persona is just a front. Eventually he softens toward the protagonist, but gets angry and runs off if things get too romantic, ultimately making him Sweet.

* Icari Isidolde from VisualNovel/{{Sunrider}}.

** From the Second game, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu, the Ultimate Gangsta. He also states that he would kill people to get out of the game, refuses to become friends with the group, and you can't actually make his free time events until Chapter 3. It's only through [[spoiler:Peko's death, almost dying during her execution, losing his eye in the process and trying to commit {{Seppuku}} to atone]] he becomes Hinata's [[TheLancer right hand man]], warms up considerably to the group, and the can be befriended. By making his final free time event, Fuyuhiko asks Hinata to perform a small Yakuza ceremony that makes them brothers and also to accompany him once they leave the island.
** The third installment has two: both Juzo Sakakura and Kyousuke Munakata. Both are cruel KnightTemplar that threat and actively try to kill Naegi, believing he is on the side of Despair and recognizing the threat he might represent to their view on the battle against Despair, Juzo particularly, double as a BloodKnight. In the end though, they are also ChildhoodFriends with each other and Chisa Yukizome, having a soft spot for each other and her. Juzo particularly, is revealed to [[spoiler:be in love with Kyousuke, and ends up saving everybody in the end, through a HeroicSacrifice.]]

* Marie Miwa from ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations'' 2. A prison warden who makes a habbit of hugging ''everyone'' she meets, and treats the inmates as one big happy family. An [[FriendToAllLivingThings animal lover]] who strongly believes 'animal therapy' will lead prisoners to reform. She is, however, a lot more dedicated to her job that one might think, and is pretty harsh with the guards when she finds out [[spoiler: one of the inmates has escaped. This especially shows when Edgeworth finally confronts her at the end of the case. Unlike most other killers in the series (especially the [[JerkAss one from the preveous case]]) she doesn't make much of an effort to argue back... until Edgeworth REALLY pushes her, and then she proceeds to turn his entire argument on its head with ''one sentence''.]]

* In [=ClockUp=]'s ''Euphoria'', Nemu is a rather cold one. [[spoiler:In the BettyAndVeronicaSwitch in the True Ending route, its Kanae who is this instead.]]

* A typical Harsh Tsundere named Saki in the eroge VisualNovel/SnowSakura, with [[MegatonPunch Megaton Punch and Kick.]]

* Mr. Bandages in ''VisualNovel/HalloweenOtome''. He constantly has an insult or a retort for another person, and his rudeness is apparent when talking to a waiter. In regards to his "dere" sid, at certain points he seems [[spoiler: more lust-struck than love-struck]].

* Mion Sonozaki from ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' is a closet tsundere over Keiichi, though not really a conventional example. Closet because, whenever her "dere" side appears, she's usually [[TwinSwitch impersonating her twin]].
** Though Mion's tsundere-ness is in debate, one of the TIPS from the VN pegs another Sonozaki as having the attitude of one: ''Oryou.'' Mion speculates this due to Oni-baba's decision to sell off land in an attempt to get new people to come to Hinamizawa and help erase the extreme prejudice against the Houjous, rather than work against it directly.

Back to {{Tsundere}}! [---I swear, the only reason you lust after 2D girls so much is that you're not man enough to handle the real thing...---]N-not that I'd be interested in showing you! Stop grinning like that, pervert!

* In [=ClockUp=]'s ''Euphoria'', Nemu is one. [[spoiler:In the BettyAndVeronicaSwitch in the True Ending route, it's Kanae who is this instead.]]

* Fujibayashi Kyou of VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}-Though she is friendly, she still tends to be aggressive. Easily angered, she also purposely shows her tsun-tsun persona even if she really isn't mad. This is to hide her soft side, of course, leaning her more towards Type A than B.

* Fujibayashi Kyou of VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} - Though she is a particularly agressive Sweet, she still favours a friendly personality over a confrontational one. She is very quick to switch to tsun-tsun mode, though.

** Aoko Aozaki, back when she was a teenager in ''VisualNovel/MahouTsukaiNoYoru'', is practically Rin Tohsaka but with a heavier emphasis on the ''tsun'' since unlike Rin, her harshness and aloofness, ''isn't'' a facade; she's ''[[GrumpyBear genuinely grouchy towards everybody]]'', and the only thing she has to hide from everyone apart from the magus business are her blunders as a teenage girl. Her ''dere'' side is also a little harder to dig out, but the [[HiddenHeartOfGold heart of gold's]] ''definitely'' there.

* Pick any princess from ''PrincessWaltz''. Except for [[spoiler: Shizuka]] and maybe Lillian. But especially Angela and [[spoiler: Chris]].
* Teru Saeki in ''{{Franchise/Tokimeki Memorial}} Girl's Side 2'' is a complicated example who vacillates between types depending on which persona he's putting forward at the moment. Initially he seems Sweet, nice to most of his classmates but rude to the protagonist; spending more time with him reveals him as more Harsh, since his rude behavior is his [[BeneathTheMask real self]] while his "school idol" persona is just a front. Eventually he softens toward the protagonist, but gets angry and runs off if things get too romantic, ultimately making him Sweet.

Shiki Ryougi can and will fight to keep this status quo with Mikiya, and god help you if you are in the way.

* Sawatari Makoto from VisualNovel/Kanon}}'' is one of the rare female examples who eventually becomes a DefrostingIceQueen. In the last few episodes where she appears, she doesn't say one mean word. [[spoiler: Knowing you're going to die]] will do that to you.

** As pictured on the main page: Rin Tohsaka in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. She's heavily on the tsun side in "Fate"; it's in "Unlimited Blade Works", where she's the main love interest, that her dere side comes out. In the last scenario, "Heaven's Feel", she again plays WorthyOpponent-turns-TheLancer role ([[IncrediblyLamePun considering her servant]]), but she's still ''very'' Tsundere.

*** In ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'', this Rin is set an AlternateUniverse and yet this trope applies rather hard to her there. In FateExtra, the lady is not [[NamesTheSame the same one we know of]]... and yet she is a Tsundere, through and through. If the name Rin Tohsaka is involved, the one big thing that gets carried over (outside of [[ZettaiRyouiki her appearance]]) is her Tsundere nature. The exceptions are Fate/Zero, where she is noticeably less Tsundere and more of a {{Determinator}} and in a future seen in Hollow Atarxia, where she was very deredere and openly states that she can grant Shirou happiness the most, and vice versa.
