The "Is Touka a Tsundere or Not?" discussion pops up every now and then (often with vehement effect), but personally I classify her as one. The important thing to note about "tsundere" is that it just refers to a developmental process in which a usually female character's personality flips between "hot and cold". Traditionally, it refers to a character who starts out with a harsh personality, but really has a compassionate side that comes out gradually as the story progresses. Which is the camp Touka falls under.

How exactly a character is displayed as "tsundere" really depends on the writer and how they go about it. There's really no "one size fits all" set of traits outside of being "hot and cold". With that said, it's all preference. Some personality types just click with people and others don't.
