Despite their beauty and charm, these girls are timid in communication.
The anime world encompasses various character types, each with its own terminology to identify them. For example, Dandere, Yandere, Tsundere, Kuudere, etc.
Among them, Dandere refers to characters who are quite reserved and introverted. This may be because they feel uncomfortable when interacting with others. However, when alone with someone they care about, these characters often break out of their shell, becoming much cuter and mischievous.

3. Mio Akiyama (K-On)

4. Kosaki Onodera (Nisekoi)
Kosaki Onodera, a character from Nisekoi, is portrayed as an epitome of innocence and shyness. Despite her reserved nature, she harbors insightful thoughts and approaches everything with caution.

7. Tsukimi Kurashita (Princess Jellyfish)

Tsukimi is also kind-hearted, always helping the residents of Amamizukan with various daily tasks like shopping, cleaning, and occasionally buying them small gifts with money from her father.
