"Tsundere" is a loanword from Japanese anime culture used to describe a person or character who oscillates between being cold, hostile, or "harsh" (tsun tsun) and being warm, loving, or "lovestruck" (dere dere). In English-speaking internet communities, it is frequently applied to anyone who hides their true feelings of affection behind a mask of annoyance or feigned indifference. The term is often used affectionately by fans to describe characters who are grumpy but clearly care about their companions. It suggests a specific type of emotional complexity where the individual is embarrassed by their own vulnerability.
