Tv Tropes definition of tsundere:
This is generally a problem with fanmade terms and there abstract meanings that causes many to overuse/misuse them. Nina is far from a Tsundere. Her moods shifts are not sudden/reasonless nor are her moods meant to hide her true feelings as you'd expect of a Tsundere. Any girl who has any sort of emotional range is often time listed as a Tsundere. Nina is a fairly complex character with a lot of emotions swirling around inside her. It hard to categorize characters with a lot of depth and generally 90 percent of anime characters have extremely little.

Also Nina was always over-analyzing in the anime. We see her doubt herself many times throughout and asked questions of Layfon. Many times he avoided answering, changed the subject or used misdirection. She did however always confront him about his morals and his way of doing things and even tried to understand him though she herself felt that she couldn't when it all came down to it. The novel will of course make this much easier to see but I never thought it was that difficult to see in the first place in the anime. Anime Nina is actually a more interesting character to me. She seems much more "human" in the anime.
