The Ultimate Ranking: Unveiling the Supreme Himedere Character in Anime!

While the -dere types receive a lot of attention, there are other types like the nemuidere and darudere that often go unnoticed. However, there is a wide range of -dere types that accurately represent the diverse personalities of anime characters.

One particular -dere type that often gets overlooked is the himedere. These characters, especially females, possess an arrogant and self-important nature, sometimes even considering themselves to be royalty, regardless of whether it is true or not. Here are some anime ladies who epitomize the essence of princesses in various aspects.

8 Rurichiyo Kasumioji - Bleach

Despite being an exclusive character to the anime, Rurichiyo in Bleach possesses the traits of a typical himedere character. Unapologetic about her noble status, Rurichiyo exhibits a stubborn nature and often displays spoiled behavior, frequently throwing tantrums when things don't go her way, much to Ichigo's annoyance.

Proving her arrogant demeanor, Rurichiyo even speaks of herself with the royal "we," a pronoun reserved for royalty or individuals with high status. However, beneath all her pride, Rurichiyo has a compassionate heart. She deeply cares for her bodyguards Kenryu and Enryu and feels remorse for the danger that others have faced because of her.

7 Minerva Orland - Fairy Tail

Upon her introduction, Minerva exuded immense pride and confidence, even going so far as to view herself as a queen and mistreat those she deemed inferior. She even directed her arrogance towards her own father, Jiemma, criticizing his weaknesses after he was swiftly attacked by Sting.

But following the Grand Magic Games and the Tartarus arc, a change came over Minerva. She began to genuinely regret her appalling actions and started forging authentic bonds with her fellow guildmates. Nonetheless, traces of her proud nature still remained, as she proudly boasted about her victory in Sabertooth's eating contest during Fairy Tail's year-long absence.

6 Saki Tenjouin - To LOVE-Ru

Saki Tenjouin's arrogant laughter and confident attitude make it easy to identify her as someone who loves to show off. She takes great pride in being the center of attention among the male students at Sainan High School. Therefore, it deeply bothers her when Lala Satalin Deviluke starts receiving more admiration than her.

Consumed by jealousy over Lala's popularity, Saki decides to confront her and try to regain her position as the school's reigning queen. However, her plan takes an unexpected turn when Lala ends up rescuing her instead. Beyond the school walls, Saki leads a lavish lifestyle. However, she always remains mindful of treating those beneath her social status with the respect they deserve.

5 Eclair Tonnerre - Ouran High School Host Club

Arriving at Ouran High School towards the end of the anime, Eclair Tonnerre comes with the intention of marrying Tamaki Suoh and becoming a part of their families. Constantly observing her surroundings through her opera glasses, it is evident that she holds a disdainful attitude towards the school and the other members of the Host Club, even going so far as to deem certain aspects as “ordinary” at one point.

Throughout her stay at Ouran High School, Eclair actively tries to claim Tamaki for herself while simultaneously belittling Haruhi. However, upon discovering Tamaki's love for Haruhi, Eclair decides to take a step back and allow Tamaki to rescue her from potential danger, though she insults him by calling him foolish.

4 Bulma - Dragon Ball Series

Although renowned for her scientific brilliance and strong-willed nature, Bulma also possesses a sense of vanity. Concerned about her looks, she has been known to employ her attractiveness as a weapon against certain adversaries, considering it a personal affront if they are not swayed by her charms.

Despite her occasional mercurial behavior and focus on her physical appearance, Bulma, similar to the previously mentioned himedere characters, genuinely cares for the welfare of her companions. Her expertise in science and inventions has proven invaluable during her thrilling escapades with the Z-Fighters, readily offering her assistance whenever they face formidable challenges.

3 Kurome - Akame Ga Kill!

Introduced early on in Akame ga Kill, Kurome possesses a noticeably more innocent and carefree demeanor compared to her older sister, Akame. However, unlike Akame, these aspects of her personality are tainted by her bloodlust, evident in her disappointment when facing inferior opponents and her intense desire to include Akame in her collection of corpse dolls, revealing a hint of pride.

Nevertheless, despite her bloodlust, Kurome still retains her humanity. She genuinely loves Akame, and much of her desire to kill stems from the severe brainwashing inflicted upon her by the Empire, as detailed in the Akame ga Kill manga. Kurome's preferred weapon, before its demise, was the Yatsufusa sword, enabling her to control and wield her corpse dolls effectively in combat.

2 Mary Saotome - Kakegurui

Mary Saotome, a skilled but deceitful gambler in Kakegurui, is known for her sadistic behavior. She takes pleasure in mocking her opponents and mistreating her subordinates, exemplified by her mistreatment of her classmate Ryota Suzui.

However, despite her arrogance, Mary experiences deep resentment and a humbling moment when she loses her earnings and becomes a housepet herself, defeated by Yumeko Jabami. This transformation prompts her to become less cruel and arrogant upon her return to gambling, demonstrating increased sympathy towards those who have also become housepets.

1 Mei Hatsume - My Hero Academia

Mei Hatsume, a prominent character in My Hero Academia, stands out for her straightforward nature and relentless passion for inventing. Her Quirk, known as Zoom, enables her to adjust her vision and focus on objects nearby.

Mei takes great pride in her inventions and has no qualms about promoting them or persuading others to do so. However, her unusual behaviors, such as getting uncomfortably close to people while speaking, can make casual conversations with her somewhat challenging, despite her genuine intentions.
