Quick facts

If you ask about anyone, they'll tell you Dandere is quiet. Painfully so. Always has been. He wishes it was different. There's something about him which just fades into the background. On the bright side, he's starting to learn to make use of this ...talent.

He'll always answer when prompted though. Even if he doesn't really react, or respond in with any degree of certainty. He's much better on the forums, where he has all the time he needs to think of an answer.

Known in the Sleeper world

Yes, but not well. Dandere's tendency to fade into the background is even worse the larger the group gets.

Quotes by

"... ..."

- Dandere, all the time.

"Thanks again Beckett, this is great."

(Happy whistle, then a sudden pause)

"...Huh. I just realised. I'm gonna freak out when this wears off."

- While under inhibition suppressing mind magic.

"...So... I didn't come back to get this? ...Well, crap."

- The first line on a note that Dandere passed to Vyra before a potentially suicidal mission.

"...You don't have to. You know what this means... nobody expects you to. I... this is what I can do. I don't do much else. I'm the least loss here if... well..."

-To Archived-Dornelia, while both staring down at the Banisher base below.

"...I think the worst thing, is that I think I could have saved her."

-Speaking of Archived-Daisy-Rain

"We all... just need to have a little more hope, and things will be okay eventually."

- Trying to be positive yet another disaster.

"All for nothing? It was ALL FOR NOTHING!?"

- Shortly after he, and many other mages, sacrificed what they held most precious to them.

"S-some of us are hurting, and some of us... some of us are so b-broken they don't even realise it. P-please. Please... I... Surely I c-can't be the only one who sees it?"

- To Shirou in the days following the Mage's sacrifice.

"No, THIS is a lightning bolt!"

- Dandere showing a Banisher assassin how it's done. The Banisher hurt someone, Dandere vaporised him in revenge.

"...I do... Understand, I mean. I... don't know if I have all the time in the world, but... I'm not sure if I could go on alone anyway. ...It's... umm, a limited world, but not always a bad one..."

- In response to Archived-Molotov

Quotes about

"If I know anything about anime, it's that with a name like that he'll break out of his shell and be lots of fun when there's something that interests him."

- Archived-Sash, on meeting him.

"No... Sweet child no..."

- Archived-Vyra Anala. Said under her breath after reading a note passed to her before a potentially suicidal mission.

"Go for it. Don't get caught. If you do, we can't save you."

- Archived-Mephi

"You are too innocent to live. I am saving you"

- Archived-Daisy-Rain, shortly before removing his jaw with a punch dagger

"I knew she'd do that to your face, I'm sorry I didn't stop her, but she might have killed others if I had. Don't forgive me for any of the things I've done, but please, don't hold on to them either. You have bigger, scarier, and less fun fish to fry and I can't have you too caught up on a grudge to save your own life when push comes to shove. Do it for her, live so that you can protect her."

- Vyra's confusing final words to Dandere, April 2016

"He's really forgetful. I mean like, where is he now for example?"

- Archived-Atlas

"Closest thing Canberra has to a reasonable Master, right now. Heh."

- Archived-Dornelia

"Umm, do you remember what happened in the Astral?" -Archived-Ember

"Yeah. You were nude. It was hot." -Dandere

"That was... less hot." -Dandere

- Dandere, inhibitions suppressed.

Inspirations and Soundtrack

• His shadow name.
• These Black Eyes (Fanfiction)

• The sound of silence "Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again. Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping. And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains..."
• Dollhouse "Places, places, get in your places, throw on your dress an put on your doll faces. Everyone thinks that we're perfect, please don't let them look through the curtains. Picture, picture, smile for the picture. Pose with your brother won't you be a good sister? Everyone thinks that we're perfect, please don't let them look through the curtains..."
• Brave "Everybody's been there, everybody's been stared down by the enemy. Fallen for the fear, and done some disappearing, bow down to the mighty. Don't run, just stop holding your tongue. Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live. Maybe one of these days you can let the light in. Show me how big your brave is. Say what you wanna say, and let the words fall out. Honestly I wanna see you be brave."
• Safe and sound "I remember you said, 'don't leave me here alone...' but all that's dead and gone and passed tonight..."
