Meaning of Himedere Dere

The word Himedere is an abbreviation of “him” and “deredere.” “Hime”  (姫ひめ) means “princess.”  “Deredere” (デレデレ),  means “lovey-dovey.” These characters get the princess complexion in their minds. They always want to be served and seen like the royal ones. One can say this is the female equivalent of oujidere.

The history of himedere shows the root of their insecurities. Specific moments of abandonment, neglect, and betrayal commonly cause the behaviour to become notorious.  If anyone can see past the ego of Himedere, they could find their true nature and befriend them.

This type of character is generally similar to a snooty princess who comes off as arrogant, self-centred, and vain at first. But still have the power of love and friendship. These characters soften over time after learning valuable lessons in the process.

Conclusion

This wish to be treated as the royal one makes one selfish. They start to think of themselves as inferior to most others. This misconception of being in a higher position forces them to put themselves first in any situation. They give orders to everyone around them and respect no one. They always demand perfection and success in every field. However, the only exception is for the one they love! This love affection can be hidden or public, but he rejects all his selfishness for that person.
