Cassandra turns "evil" in Disney's Tangled series due to a mix of deep-seated insecurities, feeling overshadowed by Rapunzel, Zhan Tiri's manipulation, and discovering her connection to Mother Gothel and her dark destiny, leading her to steal the Moonstone and embrace a vengeful path, though her arc explores themes of trauma, betrayal, and misguided self-worth.
Cassandra is the tritagonist of Disney's Tangled franchise. She is Rapunzel's handmaiden and best friend. However, she betrayed her to obtain the moonstone for herself, swearing vengeance on her and to fulfill her "destiny", turning herself into a villain and teamed up with Zhan Tiri.
After seeing Gothel abandon her for Rapunzel during a journey through her memories, Cassandra fully embraces her more evil side and spends all of Season 3 developing into a villain. But in the end, she is still shown to have some good in her and is eventually able to redeem herself.
A growing crack in their relationship that only gotten worse when she discovered her own backstory in the House of Yesterday's Tomorrow and that her mother chose Rapunzel over her, which soon motivates her to betray Rapunzel and take the Moonstone for herself.
In the Tangled franchise, Cassandra is the biological child of Mother Gothel. She was abandoned when Gothel kidnapped Princess Rapunzel, and subsequently adopted by the Captain of the Guards.
Rapunzel says that she and Cassandra are sisters now. I know Gothel technically raised her. But she also abducted her. It's not exactly the healthiest family dynamic.
Cassandra is an above average series by international standards and a super good series by German standards which tells two stories: one of Cassandra in the 70s and one of a family moving into a new home after a tragic loss.
And Cassandra is not a canon lesbian, she was coded lesbian by some of the people who worked on the show, but not everyone.
The Mattel cartoon Ever After High (2013–2017), features Rapunzel's identical twin daughters: Holly and Poppy O'Hair. Tangled: The Series (2017–2020) is a 2D animated TV show based on Disney Animation's computer animated musical feature film Tangled.
The show has a strong female lead with a multiracial family and important queer characters. It also delivers positive messages about courage.

Varian and Cass actually have an 8-year age gap (Rapunzel is four years older than Varian, and Cass is four years older than Rapunzel), and New Dream have about a 6-year age gap. But it's still similar!
Timothy Drake, the third Robin, has regularly been depicted as having a strange "intimidated by but attracted to" relationship with Cassandra.
The answer lies in Cassandra's past, which revealed that her patriarchal husband was nothing less than evil, and not only turned his wife into a monster but also destroyed his entire family.
About the mature content of this show, I counted three sex scenes and one "solo" scene. Some dirty talk/foreplay too. Nothing too graphic. No closeups.
In Greek mythology, Cassandra was cursed for her ability to predict the future. No one listened to her. One of the consequences was the ruinous fall of Troy to the Greeks. She herself was captured, and then killed.
Frollo is often considered Disney's most realistic and evilest villain, but it didn't have to be that way. Disney's adaptation of Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1997) is often considered the studio's most mature film, and for good reason.
