Actually, if you've seen Defenders, you might know this already! (I haven't seen that one yet, so I don't know how much of a thing it is.)
SPOILERS FOR IRON FIST
So the big reveal on Colleen is that she's with the Hand, the shadowy nemesis ninja organization who are antagonists in several of the Netflix Defenderverse shows. Danny was raised his whole life to fight them and then finds out the woman he's falling in love with is actually a member of this organization he's always been told are Pure Evil; meanwhile Colleen was raised by the Hand after being orphaned, and they're the only family she has, so now she's having to deal with the fact that her family is trying to kill Danny. Basically they've got a nifty "falling in love across enemy lines/actively having to choose their sides and question what they've been raised to believe" thing going on, which made them a lot more interesting to me than if they'd just easily and unproblematically fallen in love, and I thought it might for you, too.
