Chapter 2: Part 10: Identifying the Type of Darling You Have

When you're in a relationship with a Yandere, it’s essential to understand the dynamics at play. Every Darling is unique, and identifying the type of Darling you have will help you understand how to approach and manage the relationship. Whether they are cooperative or rebellious, each type presents different challenges and rewards. Here’s a guide to help you pinpoint which Darling you're dealing with:

1. Willful and Cooperative Darling This type of Darling is the ideal partner. They are not only willing to submit to the Yandere’s control but actively participate in the relationship with loyalty and devotion. Though they maintain a strong sense of self, their cooperation leads to the best kind of affection and rewards from their Yandere. They are calm, patient, and obedient.

Challenge: The only issue here might be keeping them from becoming too complacent or neglected, but overall, they are the easiest to manage.

2. Broken Darling This type is the hardest to manage. A Broken Darling cannot be rehabilitated and will fight every step of the way. They do not accept rules or submission, constantly trying to escape. They are unyielding and require constant restraint.

Challenge: They’ll never fall in line, no matter how much effort you put in. Constant vigilance is required to keep them under control. They can break free if you aren't careful.

3. Brat Darling Brat Darlings love to test boundaries. They act rebellious for the thrill of it, enjoying the reactions they get from their Yandere. They might push buttons and break rules just to get attention but do so knowing they’ll eventually be controlled again.

Challenge: While they can be difficult, Brat Darlings are still manageable. Recognizing their need for power play helps restore balance.

4. Role Model Darling This Darling is the epitome of devotion. Not only do they serve as an example of perfect submission, but they also encourage others to follow suit. They may even look down on less cooperative Darlings and act as a model for ideal behavior.

Challenge: Their perfection can sometimes distance them emotionally from their Yandere, making the relationship feel more transactional than intimate. They may also become self-righteous if not properly guided.

5. Faker Darling The Faker Darling appears perfect on the surface but hides a deceitful agenda. They’ll play the part of the ideal Darling, pretending to love and obey, but in reality, they are only waiting for the right moment to escape. Their manipulation can be deceiving.

Challenge: You have to stay hyper-vigilant to avoid falling for their act. Trust is key here, but breaking it could cause them to reveal their true intentions.

6. Partner Darling This Darling is more traditional in nature. They are submissive but enjoy some autonomy and interaction with the outside world. They follow the basic rules but resist full captivity. While they may show affection, they are not fully under control at all times.

Challenge: Maintaining strict control can be difficult with a Partner Darling, as their need for freedom often leads to boundary-pushing behavior.

7. BloodLuster Darling BloodLuster Darlings are drawn to violence and brutality. They thrive on the darker aspects of the relationship, encouraging dangerous behavior from the Yandere. They might even find satisfaction in witnessing harm, creating a bond through shared darkness.

Challenge: They are unpredictable and may push the Yandere toward more risky behaviors. Controlling them may become more difficult if their craving for violence grows uncontrollable.

8. Empath Darling Empath Darlings are sensitive and emotionally driven. They empathize with the Yandere’s feelings and might even put themselves at risk to help or "fix" the situation. They want to soothe and heal but may also try to protect others from the Yandere.

Challenge: While an Empath Darling can be emotionally manipulative in their own right, their desire to help may put them at risk of rebellion. Balancing control while respecting their empathy is essential.

9. Suicidal Darling A Suicidal Darling is deeply troubled, often viewing death as an escape from the Yandere’s control. They may harm themselves or attempt suicide in an effort to break free, presenting a constant emotional and physical challenge.

Challenge: They pose a significant emotional burden, and constant vigilance is necessary. Creating a protective environment to ensure their well-being while still managing the relationship can be a delicate balance.

10. Escape Artist Darling This Darling is a master of escape. Whether through intelligence, manipulation, or sheer determination, they can find ways to break free, often more than once. Their ability to outsmart restraints and find weaknesses in control makes them particularly difficult to manage.

Challenge: Keeping them in control requires constant innovation and vigilance. They’re relentless in their attempts to regain freedom, and it's a challenge that can exhaust even the most dedicated Yandere.

11. Comforter Darling Comforter Darlings are emotionally supportive. They offer care and comfort to the Yandere, sacrificing their own needs to attend to the Yandere’s emotional state. They are sensitive to moods and offer soothing words and actions to calm their partner.

Challenge: Over time, this role can be emotionally draining. They may feel neglected or used if their own emotional needs aren’t met.

12. Abusive Darling An Abusive Darling actively resists and fights the Yandere. They may engage in physical or verbal confrontations, causing tension in the relationship. Despite their aggression, they may occasionally submit, creating a volatile and unpredictable dynamic.

Challenge: The Yandere must maintain dominance while not escalating the situation too much. Understanding the underlying causes of their aggression is crucial to preventing emotional fallout.

13. Masochistic Darling Masochistic Darlings find pleasure in pain, punishment, or degradation. They actively seek out and enjoy punishment, often to the point of making demands for more. This Darling thrives on the control and suffering that comes with the relationship.

Challenge: Managing their desire for punishment requires balance. The Yandere must ensure that they don’t push the boundaries of safety while still satisfying their Darling’s emotional needs.

14. Chaser (not a Darling) Chasers are not truly Darlings; they are thrill-seekers who fetishize the Yandere x Darling dynamic. They often cooperate initially but will quickly try to escape once they’ve satisfied their desire for excitement.

Challenge: The Yandere may struggle with the fleeting nature of the Chaser’s interest. These types are often more focused on fantasy than reality, leading to eventual disappointment.

15. Isolated Darling An Isolated Darling prefers solitude and is mostly compliant when they’re left alone. They don’t actively rebel but also aren’t interested in social interaction. They enjoy being in a controlled, solitary environment with minimal distractions.

Challenge: The lack of engagement might make the relationship feel emotionally hollow. They’re easy to control but might not provide the emotional fulfillment a Yandere desires.

16. Degrader Darling Degrader Darlings enjoy belittling and emotionally hurting their Yandere. They may cooperate in the end, but their interactions are often full of insults and taunts. They derive some twisted satisfaction from demeaning their partner.

Challenge: The Yandere must have strong emotional control to handle the constant negativity. However, the cooperation in the end ensures that the relationship remains.

17. Idealist Darling Idealist Darlings believe they should be confined to the most extreme extent possible. They want the Yandere’s control to be unyielding and may even become frustrated if they feel they aren’t locked away or isolated enough.

Challenge: The Yandere must constantly satisfy their Darling’s extreme expectations, pushing for stricter control and higher levels of confinement.
