Het rarepairs involving a female character who doesn't get a lot of onscreen character development.

Fans ALWAYS seem to fill in the blanks of the woman's personality with a bland, dull, sweet, cool, stereotypical-perfect-supportive-wife/girlfriend-who-is-never-needy demurely feminine stock characterization even if there's no canon evidence to suggest she was anything like that.

This. Holy fuck this was the entire DMC fandom's characterization of Eva for a while, even though all of (admittedly scant) canon evidence we have is to the contrary (that she resembles Trish, that she has "fire," that she fucked a fucking demon prince.)

But, nah. She's a demurely passive soccer mom who sacrifices herself without a fight and with a smile, just waiting for Sparda to come home.

(There was a small group of us who were like "this is bullshit" in the fandom and one even wrote an epic-length fic wherein Eva was a demon-hunting motorcycle cop - i.e. that Dante takes after her, while Vergil takes after Sparda, which actually makes ~sense~ when you think about it - but fuck that when you can have a blandly generic saccharinely feminine helpless mom-blob who bakes cookies.)
