In September 2020, Amber Vanich, a story revisionist for Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure revealed that Cassandra "Cass" was gay coded, with sapphic looks toward the story's protagonist, Rapunzel, and that some of these feelings are shown in the episode about memory loss.

At first, they started off as good friends, with Varian developing a crush on Cassandra very quickly after meeting her, despite Cass being much older. For her part, Cass considers Varian a good friend and admires his talents. The episode "Great Expotations" expands on their relationship.

Seeing as how blue hair isn't exactly a natural hair color (perhaps even in the Corona universe), it's likely that this indicates Varian either having come into contact with blue-hair-inducing magic either he was that little (similar to Anna in Frozen), or perhaps he and his mother came into contact with magic sometime ...
