Over the course of Season 2, Cassandra's insecurity and desire to rise above everyone's view of her grew to a point where she became bitter to Rapunzel for always upstaging her at everything; a growing crack in their relationship that only gotten worse when she discovered her own backstory in the House of Yesterday's ...
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.
Getting her hand burnt because Rapunzel refused to trust her was the defining scar that started Cass down the path towards her eventual betrayal, even if she didn't want to betray her at first, but Zhan Tiri pushed her by showing her the night her own mother chose another baby girl over her.
Varian later rescued her and she fell in love with Varian later on after months of denial. Years later, she does get married to Varian during Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding. Despite not knowing her descendants in 2021, she cares about them a lot, and especially bonds with David and Greg.
Why Cassandra Betrayed Rapunzel! | A Tangled The Series Theory
Does Varian have a crush on Cass?
In the last episode, Cassandra is seen wearing Varian's Cassandrium necklace, symbolizing how they are friends once more. Because of Varian's crush and the dynamic between the characters, some fans like to ship them. Their ship name is Vassandra (or Cassarian).
Despite claiming she and Varian aren't the same, she shares similarities with Varian as both lost their parents (Cassandra lost her mother after she kidnapped Rapunzel and Varian lost his father as he got trapped inside the amber) and used to be Rapunzel's ally, but they turned against her due to their desire for ...
Her ruthlessness proves to be equal or even superior to that of Varian during his own period of hatred and darkness, given that she blames Rapunzel for Gothel abandoning her, even though Rapunzel was an infant during the time, was taken away from her loving parents, and had suffered under Gothel's abuse, something ...
Gothel wasn't a good parent and was capable of awful things. She was selfish, cunning, and smart, which made her a great Disney villain. Audiences know that Gothel is bad news, but in certain ways, she's still an underrated Disney villain.
She asked her lover to bring her linen threads, so she could do a rope out of them and use it to escape. Rapunzel got pregnant, and Gothel noticed this. Either that, or Rapunzel once incautiously exclaimed that the witch was much heavier, thus longer to lift, than her prince.
If Gothel, however, loved her back is debatable. Gothel may have once cared enough for Rapunzel enough to go out of her way to keep Rapunzel happy (such as making her favorite dinner and collecting rare paint colors) though this might just have been to keep on being able to use Rapunzel's healing hair to remain young.
Heartbroken, Rapunzel cries over Flynn's dead body but revives him with her tears and they finally share their first kiss. By the end of the movie, Rapunzel and Flynn become a couple and are living happily ever after.
The ship is often considered canon by some fans, due to all of their moments that can be interpreted as romantic and their last conversation when they say they love each other.
Cassandra is a main character in DU S1 but takes charge as main protagonist in S2. She is the biological daughter of Mother Gothel and the older sister of Varian. Cassandra shows herself as strong and brave but does have insecurities about her past witch is what Greg uses against her.
In regards to the first proposal, it was a combination of stress and pressure of being a princess as well as feelings trapped again by marriage is what caused Rapunzel to say no to Eugene the first time.
Fearing that she may be losing control over her flower, Mother Gothel uses subtle jabs, over-the-top guilt trips, and refrains of "Mother Knows Best" to keep Rapunzel from leaving, before firmly, and darkly ordering Rapunzel to never ask to leave the tower, again. Heartbroken, Rapunzel accepts.
Tangled. Mother Gothel appears in Tangled (2010). For hundreds of years, Gothel hoarded the rejuvenation powers of a magical golden flower to remain young and beautiful, while keeping the flower's existence a secret from the rest of the world.
After Mother Gothel stabbed Flynn Rider (who was actually named Eugene Fitzherbert), Rapunzel made a deal with her mother to save his life. She promised that she would go with Gothel anywhere she wanted and wouldn't try to escape, so long as Rapunzel was allowed to heal his wounds.
His heart is then filled with rage and an obsession for revenge after feeling betrayed by Rapunzel for turning her back on him during his time of need; as well an urge to save his father.
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 ...
