ran forever and ever

[virentdiv]

the journey to type ran from urusei yatsura

There is no type named "Randere" yet, but I'd think it would mean "random" so I don't really want to use it

Nominations

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, The Fake Cutie, ... masquerading as 'moe' but lacking the true personality basis for 'moe' ... spiteful, takes what they want; helps themself, therefore doesn't accept help from others

"Yandere" is derived from the Japanese words yanderu, meaning insane or sick, and deredere, meaning affectionate or loving. Sometimes associated with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Yangire is a combination of the two words yanderu (病んでる), meaning to be sick, and gire (切れ), meaning to cut, slice, or "to snap". Yangires are Yanderes who can snap at any moment from jealousy or irritation without the motivations of affection/love for another character. Cute in both appearance and mannerisms, nice and friendly at first, then suddenly become horrible and aggressive. Typically resorts to violence. Sometimes associated with Paranoid Personality Disorder or PTSD.

"Dorodere" refers to a character who acts cute and sweet on the outside, but is actually full of 'muddy' feelings, such as grudges towards others, including the love interest. It is the inverse of Tsundere. Not necessarily violent.

Bonus

"Amaigire" is a term used for characters that turn aggressive and murderous because of sweets. Example: Spongebob Squarepants - Chocolate Guy I'd maybe argue that Stocking from P&S applies here.

"Tobokedere" is a variation of Bakadere that pretend to be stupid. Example: Mob Psycho 100 - Arataka Reigen

Kimokawaii is the combination of kimochi warui (bad feeling) and kawaii (cute).

"Tsunshun" is a term used for characters that are harsh/mean on the outside, but depressed/fearful inside. They intimidate others to insure solitude.

This is cute.

Rei is Harapeko Chara & Ahodere, Mendo is Bibiridere & Oujidere, and Sakura is Miko. Ataru's type doesn't matter, he is a clusterfuck of non-moe tropes.

Lum is a whole whopping combo of: Coodere, Kekkondere, Onidere, Biridere, Kiredere. Occasionally Yandere/Tsundere/Deredere tones.

Deduction

Dorodere is generally more suitable for Ran because she's more grudge-obsessed than love-obsessed. However, her grudges are love-related. Yangire by itself without Yandere is not love-related. Dorodere would imply that Ran is capable of welling these negative feelings up inside without suddenly snapping (not exactly in the way of Yangire or Bodere, but definitely something like -Gire). Her signature trope is snapping suddenly while talking to Lum. Yandegire is a fusion of Yangire and Yandere. Ran fits Yandegire, if not for the 'completely psychotic killer' reputation of the term Yandere.

Tropes Fall Short

There is not a broad variety of Yandegire characters. Discerning between 'Yandere' 'Yangire' and 'Yandegire' types in media is a brittle pursuit. A softened Yandegire term does not exist. If there exists a love interest, and they plot to destroy what others have in order to obtain what they want, it's basically all labeled and mailed off as Yandere. And somehow, Yandere always equates to "utterly violent and psychotic," and Yandegire is seen as a more intense Yandere: the calm and calculated serial killer with a split personality.

Ran is calculated, but not always calm. She bursts into rage and wallows. The wallowing is typical of Doro-, and bursts of rage are typical of -Gire. Ran is not depicted as essentially homicidal or mortally brutal, thus subverting the common Yandere/Yangire stereotype. The genre associated with Yandere is not compatible with the UruYat formula. She did attempt to drain the life energy of her rival's lover, which is premeditated homicide, however there is a difference in intention. Ran is indeed conniving, two-faced, and spiteful. But her plots are generally based in self-gain sabotage, not a taste for blood. Ran doesn't inherently believe she needs to harm others to get what she wants.

Conclusion

Disregarding allegations of homicide, Ran fits all of the below:

Borderline Personality Disorder

Yangire - "Ran tends to act very cutely in public. She shows a sweet, child-like if not even elegant side when she is happy but when she becomes suspicious or even angry her personality turns into complete opposite. When she was a child she was usually violently punished by her mother which could have traumatized Ran to develop her split personalities. She shows her anger and suspiciousness towards Lum, who she believes wants Rei back."

Yandere - "Ran is desperately in love with Rei and is jealous of Lum, as Rei is in love with her."

Yandegire - Ran will appear nice and accepting, but suddenly snap into aggression, and plot to sabotage others to get what she wants, relating to love or grudges.

Dorodere - Ran will appear nice and accepting, but secretly struggles with a lot of hateful feelings and grudges towards others, even people she loves.

Ran is Ran. But just for fun I attempted to make up a conjunctive type just for her: Kireuradere.

Kireuradere - derived from the Japanese words kireru (キレる), meaning to get angry; to snap, and ura (裏) which means reverse... but can be related to urami (grudge; malice) urame (opposite of the expected; backfire)... and urusei! (annoying!) ... followed by ~dere (lovey-dovey) Can also be written as 'Uragire' 'Uradere' I guess? I tried my best to make it not string together in a bulky mass like "Yanderedorogire" but not too short that it loses the complexity of Ran, like "Uragire" for example.

Also this is hilarious:
