A dandere is someone who’s quiet, collected, and calm. They put on a stoic expression so that it’s not very easy to know what they’re thinking. They don’t trust other people very easily, and they prefer to keep to themselves. That is, at least, until they fall in love and start gradually warming up and coming out of their shells. That’s the power of love!
