* Society shuns them or treats them as undesirables, outcasts or criminals.

This trope describes the situation where one character bucks the social status, responsibility and/or gender roles that their community expects or encourages and is thus desired by a select individual or group because of it. One reason for the attraction is simply that they're a refreshing change of pace from the norm. Another is that challenging cultural norms demonstrates a degree of power, confidence, or intellect. Yet another is an instinct to nurture those societal rejects, and to thus feel needed. A fourth possibility is a [[ICanChangeMyBeloved belief they can be changed]] via ThePowerOfLove.
