** In ''[[Warriors Series]]'', specifically in Bluestar's Prophecy, Bluestar was seen as a clear Type A tsundere example towards her mate Oakheart. She would lose all her patience with him and was quite snappy, especially when she was in denial about her feelings for him since she couldn't be mates with a cat from another Clan. Despite this, Bluestar geniunely loved Oakheart and since there parting, was the only cat she ever truly loved.
** Sandstorm is also a tsundere. She was greatly distainful and looked down on Firestar due to his kittypet blood, but when he saves her life during a border fight, she realizes that she misunderstood Firestar and develops a strong bond and friendship with him. Sandstorm fell in love with Firestar at one point and Firestar with her and they have been together since. Though Sandstorm is regarded as a sharp-tonged, short-tempered, and independent she-cat and Firestar is not spared because of her feelings towards him, since he is afraid of her when she is angry.
** Sandstorm's daughter, Squirrelflight, became a second generation tsundere, since her mother passed her personality to her. Squirrelflight is the most fitting to this trope since is some ways, she is even worse than Sandstorm. Squirrelflight is proud, independant, incredibly impulsive, and very rude and spitfire of a warrior, though she agruable had mellowed out with age ''though only slighty.''

** Only about half, and then to varying degrees. To whit: Nynaeve starts out a major type A but marriage softens her to a B; Min isn't; Elayne isn't, although Rand probably thinks she is due to mixed signals in a [[NeverLiveItDown couple of letters]]; Moiraine isn't; Egwene is usually a PluckyGirl but turns into a raging type A in the second half of volume 12, especially when confronted with her LoveInterest; Siuane is a type A, but that's to be expected from a [[SpicyLatina Spanish]] IronLady; Faile, despite [[TheScrappy her rep]], is just a ClingyJealousGirl trying to keep her husband away from [[TheVamp Bere]][[AlphaBitch lain]]. Oddly, the most pure example (up to and including the classic "this doesn't mean I like you" line) is the often overlooked Tuon.

* Clarrise from ''PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' takes the "fight through life" portion of this to heart, (since she's the daughter of Ares) and we only see her kind side after she [[spoiler:saves Chris Rodriguez from the Labyrinth and attempts to nurse him back to sanity.]]
* [[StarWars Mara Jade]]. She's a Type A MamaBear; [[AchillesHeel baiting]] her is hideously risky at best, and suicidal at worst.
* Heleth, from the ''{{ColSec Trilogy}}'', is a [[TheNapoleon compact, quick-tempered]] PaleSkinnedBrunette who's always bickering with or getting needled by the resident {{Keet}} (when she's not bickering with someone ''else''). Every so often, you get the impression that she ''doesn't'' outright ''hate'' him.
* In TwilightDragon, Keaira Aleshire fits this trope to a T, and she doesn't just act this way towards her crush.
* Karrin Murphy in ''TheDresdenFiles'' keeps calling Harry names, even beats him to a pulp on a few occasions, but mellows at the moment's notice whenever he hurts himself badly or saves her life (again). Pointing that out to her, however, is likely to earn you another beating.
* Diana from the ''{{Gone}}'' series, whenever she's around Caine.
* [[ActionGirl Zhou Qi]] from [[JinYong Jin Yong's]] ''The Book and The Sword''. While she is somewhat abrasive to anyone, with the possible exception of her father, she reserves most of her wrath for [[TheStrategist Xu Tianhong]]: constantly berating and insulting him in front of others, [[spoiler: only to break down crying when she realizes that [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he's left out of respect for her chastity]]]].
* Dedicate Rosethorn from the CircleOfMagic series is this with a hint of {{Kuudere}}. A particularly cute example can be found in Sandry's Book when after terrifying the [[{{Nakama}} four children]] for the first half of the book, Briar hugs her and she blushes.

[[folder:Type B]]
* Princess Eilonwy from LloydAlexander's ''[[PrydainChronicles The Chronicles of Prydain]]'' says "Taran, I'm not speaking to you" about five times a novel, and as the last line of at least the first three.
* In the NightWorld book ''Daughters of Darkness'', Mary-Lynnette is dere dere, but when Ash is around her automatic reaction [[spoiler: at first]] is to kick him in the shins. Doesn't help that he's sexist and [[FantasticRacism speciesist]].
* Hermione Granger from ''HarryPotter''. She's a good friend who is sensible and restrained a lot of the time, but DO NOT tick her off. She will show no mercy. Just ask Rita Skeeter, Draco Malfoy, Dolores Umbridge or Ronald Weasley.
** Teenager Lily Evans seems to be interpreted this way by the fans, especially in [[JerkJock James Potter's]] presence.
* Arguably, Luke Skywalker becomes a Type B Tsundere in the ''StarWars'' novels.
* Mel from ''Crown Duel'' is a type B to such an extent that [[spoiler: Shevraeth]] has to resort to wooing her through anonymous letters.

* Pretty much every female protagonist in ''TheWheelOfTime''.
* Susana Cabeza de Vaca from ''Mount Dragon''. Replace ''baka'' with ''pendejo'' and ''hijo de puta'', make her dark-skinned and smart, and you have a Mexican tsundere!
* Elinor Wylie's [[http://oldpoetry.com/opoem/11873-Elinor--Wylie-Nancy poem]] "Nancy," referenced on the quotes page, seems to be addressed to a Type A. [[OlderThanTelevision You know what that means]].
* Ogden Nash's ''[[http://plagiarist.com/poetry/1710/ Always Marry an April Girl]]'' Might as well be called ''Ode to a Tsundere.''
* Averted and Lampshaded in Another Note, the prequel novel to DeathNote, as Naomi Misora warns herself against becoming a tsundere.
* Shira in TheGoldenDreamOfCarloChuchio. As there is a heroine like this in several of Lloyd Alexander's other novels, one gets the impression that he has something of a [[AuthorAppeal fondness for this trope]].
