Defrosting Ice Queen

Defrosting Ice Queen - She is the Ice Queen: cool, reserved, and giving nothing away. She may want love as ardently as anyone, but she masks her soft heart behind a wall of ice. It is up to her Love Interest to soften her cold demeanor and win her love. (Substitute "Ice King" if more applicable.)

Trooper Tales

 * This troper's best friend used to be a real bitch to men and usually NotGoodWithPeople, often seen as insensitive or confrontational. Or just, you know, "JerkAss a bitch". To her credit, the men she was bitchy to were mostly well-known Casanovas or similar types. And then she met her boyfriend... This troper doesn't remember having seen her smile so genuinely and being so considerate in a very long time.
 * Even though this troper (Joerc45) could qualify as a male version of this trope, I once knew a woman who fit this to a T. She would always be mean to him by ridiculing him, arguing with him, calling him names, etc. As time passed, however, she became less hostile toward him and became good friends and dare I say, even fell in love with one another. Then one day, she took a turn (Tsundere).
 * This troper is in the process of defrosting a male version. He's starting to smile at me now.
 * This troper is defrosting right now.
 * There is a girl in this troper's class, who if you asked him what he though of her about 4 years ago, he would have told you she was an insufferable bitch. Flash forward to the present day, and he has the biggest goddamned crush on her and CannotSpitItOut. I'm not sure which of us got the CharacterDevelopment.
 * This troper somewhat defrosted towards her friends in the last few years, but not fully. In fact, sometimes it gets worse and she switches back to the frosty and mean personality.
