The 'redemption' trope can also be found. If the love interest has a somewhat shady past, Cassandra's strong moral compass can lead to a journey of redemption for that character. Also, the 'forbidden love' trope is popular. Given Cassandra's position in the chantry, a relationship with someone outside the religious order or against the rules of the chantry can create a lot of drama and tension in the fanfiction.
