describes me- I mean, hmph! Baka!

A very popular anime stereotype, usually, girls are tsunders, although there are some rare instances where otherwise is stated. Tsundere is a word made up from two other words, "Tsun Tsun" and "Dere Dere". Both terms describe acts of a person. "Tsun Tsun" is used for cold or rather blunt behaviour, meanwhile "Dere Dere" is used when a person becomes shy or flustered in front of their lover/crush.

How to know a character is a tsundere:
they will act mean to their crush while blushing or being flustered
pouting/ "hmph!"
usually.. they're short
usually.. a girl
stomping
they're called, "Hiyoko"
Oh my gosh! Osana, you are just SUCH a tsundere. Kyahahaha, it's funny seeing you so mad like this!

reverse tsundere

Opposite of tsundere. Someone who is nice at first but deep inside is actually a really mean person.
Ugh, I thought I had a chance to make a friend but turns out he was a reverse tsundere.

Counterfeit Tsundere

A cheep imitation of a Tsundere. Used to describe a female anime/manga/game character with violent mood swings and a physically abusive personality. While a true Tsundere eventually warms up and calms down, even becoming quite nice near the end, a Counterfeit Tsundere does not and keeps her violent personality all throughout the show/book/game. The character's violence is mainly focused upon the main male character, though sometimes it can be targeted at others as well. Most of the anime Counterfiet Tsundere's are voiced by Japanese voice actress Rei Kugimiya. Basically a Counterfeit Tsunere is a girl with a bi-polar disorder.
Examples of Counterfeit Tsunderes include Shana, Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, Nagi Sanzen'in, Taiga Aisaka, Naru Narusagawa.
