Line 14:
# '''[[Jade-Colored Glasses|Cynicism]]''': Casually blunt and dismissive, but rarely straightforward rudeness even when provoked. However, a conversation with her will always leave you with a faint feeling of being mocked. Witty comments that show how intelligent she is and [[Baka|how foolish you are]], she loves those.
# '''[[The Stoic|Stoicism]]''': She eschews [[The McCoy|more emotional ways]] of expression, coming across as [[Emotionless Girl|emotionless]], unfeeling, and overly [[The Spock|logical]]. She might not seek out cutting comments, but she ignores the emotions of her companions, and tends to dismiss them as unimportant.
 
Combining all four of these traits makes a kuudere [[The Quiet One]] of the group.
 
As these traits can also suggest maturity and tact, she may [[Vague Age|come off as older]]. To highlight this, the kuudere may be accompanied by a more energetic, clumsier ([[The Scrappy|or more annoying]]) [[Morality Pet]] wanting to emulate this graceful mature character. Said duo forms a [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]], with the Kuudere playing the [[Straight Man]] role.
