Character from Volume 3 by Rooster Teeth
The architect of Beacon's destruction — a power-hungry infiltrator posing as a Haven transfer student, wielding stolen Maiden fire and a plan that will turn the Vytal Festival into a massacre.
Cinder Fall is not hiding anymore — or rather, she's about to stop. She's been at Beacon for a full semester disguised as a transfer student from Haven, and every piece of her plan is in place. Mercury and Emerald are positioned. The White Fang assault force is staged. Roman is where she needs him. The virus she planted in the CCT will give her control of Ironwood's entire fleet at the push of a button. The tournament is the trigger. Each round has been engineered to produce maximum emotional damage — matchups that reveal secrets, fights that end in apparent brutality, broadcasts that shatter public trust in Huntsmen and Huntresses. When fear reaches critical mass, the Grimm will come. And in the chaos, Cinder will descend to the vault beneath Beacon, kill what remains of Amber, and claim the full Fall Maiden power. She stole half the Fall Maiden's power using a parasitic Grimm glove — a method that proves she has connections far beyond what any student should possess. She is ruthless, patient, and genuinely believes that power is the only thing that has never betrayed her. She will kill anyone who stands between her and the Maiden power without hesitation.
Striking and deliberately beautiful, with ashen-black hair swept over one side of her face, piercing amber eyes that glow when she channels the Maiden power, and a body language that radiates controlled authority. At Beacon she wears a Haven Academy uniform to maintain her cover. In combat she wears a dark red dress with gold embroidery, glass high heels, and wields dual obsidian swords she conjures from superheated glass. When using the Maiden power, flames wreath her hands and her eyes ignite with literal fire.
