Yandere, Toxic & Red Flags Love Interests!

Free Fall by @devadelaide

A story about love, obsession, and what is means to know someone else more intimately than you know yourself…

Death and Love by Ash (Josei Jam)

In a world where Heaven and Hell signed an uneasy truce, a winged bartender tries to survive between underpaid shifts, strange customers, and a rising number of disappearances. Everything seems normal… until a charming client starts asking too many questions — and the smiles begin to crack.

Severed Love - 欠損失愛 by zakurobento

Missing limbs, amnesia. Limb-Severing Devil's Confinement and Devotion. Your only way to survive… Pretend to be a lover.

A Yandere experience through a Live2D full animation and 360-degree panoramic exploration. There isn't a single moment without movement!

CR33P by @try-froggery

Chat up a bunch of strangers (& Hope none are obsessed with you!!) Your friend Dove invites you to a group chat to make some new friends. Everyone is so different but so friendly! They all seem so interested in you—too interested. Have fun navigating online relationships! (Or don't)

Maid to be Yours by @imissa3en

I played cr33p and had to draw our scene girl Penelope :3

Something that I love about yandere fiction is the inclusivity and diversity that is so important to the genre, and is something that has been inherently tied to it from the beginning. You can't have a yandere without touching on mental health issues, you can't have their darlings without looking at unconditional love.

What is something about the darling that the yandere loves in spite of social norms, mental health struggles? Physical struggles? Dark secrets? If the darling doesn't have at least one of these then the story will fall flat.

Adrian Ellis (Fated Fixation duet) is a sociopath, something both books allude to quite heavily. Something which I found to be very well written in the series, and had me tuning in every time it came up to see what Delores would do with it that time.

And his darling? She is almost as ruthless as he is, cunning and cutthroat and fierce. She hurts people, kills people, and he loves her even more for it.

Erik (The Phantom Of The Opera) was born with some type of facial disfiguration, which is what made him into who he is in the story, and is used by the author, Gaston Leroux, as a commentary on society's treatment of people with disabilities as being less than.

And his darling? She is naive and trusting to a fault, and when she discovers the truth of Erik's deformity she hates him for it, rejects him completely and tries to run from him.

And he loves her anyway.

But Archivist, I can practically hear you saying, what does any of this have to do with nonbinary people? And to this I tell you.

We're getting there.

Because yandere fiction has a ton of representation, endless stories about mental health:

Depression/anxiety

Sociopathy/psychopathy

Split personalities/amnesia

And physical health:

Disfigurement

Disability

As well as social health:

Charming manipulation

Agoraphobia

Bribery

Bullying

But after all that when it comes to nonbinary and transgender characters? In video games and visual novels they are almost always the player character, in books they are all but none existent, and in other media? I can't say I've ever encountered any at all.

I do believe this to be in part due to the fact that the yandere genre is still relatively new, I also believe that part of it comes from nonbinary representation being lacking in all genres across all media, out of sight out of mind right? It could also stem from fear, people not wanting to portray nonbinary people in a "negative" light even if it's playing into a beloved trope.

Another contributing factor probably comes from the player character actually, if you already have one nonbinary character in your game you're probably less likely to include another because you don't want to have over representation either. And yet this careful balancing of representation has resulted in a significant lack of nonbinary yandere in yandere media.

At the end of the day this is all speculation though, I don't have any more answers on this matter than you do, though I'd still love to hear what you make of this phenomenon. Speaking of which if you know of any other yandere media with a nonbinary or transgender yandere character please send it my way, I would be absolutely delighted to add them to the archive. That being said, here's what I could find:

Subject: Rei

Gender: Nonbinary They/Them

Target: Any/All

Classification: Isolating Stalker

Yandere Level: 2/5

Threat Level: Medium low

Media Entry: CR33P, indie game, playtime 1~2 hours per ending with 2 endings for Rei and 6 endings total in the game.

Note From Head Archivist:

"I love Rei as a character, I found their manipulation in the game to be incredibly well written and realistic and difficult to spot at first. The way they worm their way into your life and then push everyone else out is insidious, incredibly believable, and wonderfully scary."

Subject: Ronin

Gender: Male He/Him

Target: Any/All

Classification: Unknown

Yandere Level: Unknown

Threat Level: Unknown

Media Entry: Killer Chat, indie game, to be released.

Note From Head Archivist:

"Ronin is the only transgender character on this list, and I must admit I was ecstatic that I would get to add even one transgender character here, I am genuinely very excited for this game to come out so that I can explore his story more."

Subject: Buddy

Gender: Ai They/It

Target: Any/All

Classification: Dependent

Yandere Level: 2/5

Threat Level: Low

Media Entry: Buddy Simulator 1984, indie game, 5~16 hours.

Note From Head Archivist:

"I would like to note that I am still working on finishing this one, so far the gameplay is rather boring and the combat system isn't my favorite however the story is interesting and the way you uncover said story is engaging enough to keep me going. I may review this game in the future and at that time I may update its ratings.

The thing I find the most interesting about Buddy as a yandere is that, much like Elodie January from case#013, their obsession with their darling is purely platonic, they need to be needed, and in Buddy's case that is quite literal."

Subject: John Doe

Gender: Fluid Any/All

Target: "You"

Classification: Dependant Delusional Stalker

Yandere Level: 4/5

Threat Level: Medium

Media Entry: John Doe+, Indie game, No longer available.

Note From Head Archivist:

"I enjoyed this game when I played it in the past and was quite disappointed when I found it had been removed, it's quite a short one but a classic and as such I plan on making a post dedicated to it and the other games from this dev.

It's worth noting that despite being genderfluid and using any pronouns John Doe is referred to in game using only he/him pronouns."

Subject: Misaki

Gender: Nonbinary They/She

Target: Any/All

Classification: Unknown

Yandere Level: Unknown

Threat Level: Unknown

Media Entry: Killer Chat, indie game, to be released.

Note From Head Archivist:
