Line 74:
* Played with in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'': Thane fell in love with the woman that blocked his shot on the Mark. According to Thane she didn't even know his target, and this had a profound affect on him, eventually tracking her down and marrying her.
* In ''[[Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones]]'', Joshua meets Natasha and attempts to flirt with her; she runs off, keenly aware of the bounty on her head as a [[Defector From Decadence]]. When they meet up later, he flips a coin and tells her to call it in order to determine whether he kills her or not. Note that she is a cleric who is bound by oath not to indulge in vices such as gambling (though this ''is'' an understandable excuse). They get married if they achieve an A support.
** And from Blazing Sword (7), we've got Jaffar and Nino. A catch here is that they're both assassins in the organization now run by the [[Big Bad]]—and are sent to assassinate the Prince of Bern, Zephiel (a hit put out by the Prince's [[Kick the Dog|Fox-kicking]] Bastard of a Father). However, the organization can't exactly get away with killing someone that important... so [[Evil Matriarch|So]][[Complete Monster|nia]] order [[Defrosting Ice Queen|the up-to-that-point completely heartless]] [[Tyke Bomb|Jaffar]] to kill ''her own daughter'' [[Token Mini-MoeLoli|Nino]] as a second target, apparently unaware that [[Florence Nightingale Effect|Nino had actually saved Jaffar's life in the recent past]]. Needless to say, that didn't go over well in more ways than 1. Ultimately, this leads to a double [[Heel Face Turn]] and if they get an A-Support, they'll end up married (Although, [[Doomed by Canon|neither lives much longer after the game, sadly]].)
* The backstory of Kasuga from ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' reveals that she fell in [[Love At First Sight]] with Uesugi Kenshin, the man she was supposed to assassinate and promptly underwent a [[Heel Face Turn]] for, and has been serving as his bodyguard ever since.
* A rather twisted version of this trope appears in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', in which Sniper Wolf is known for becoming so obsessed with her targets that she falls in love with them... right before she kills them anyway.
