Character from Volume 8 by Rooster Teeth
Salem's most ambitious and least reliable agent — Cinder attacks Atlas for the Maiden power and the Relic, betraying Salem's plans for her own hunger.
Cinder is in Atlas for the power. Not for Salem's grand plan, not for the war, not for any ideology — for the Maiden power that Penny carries and the Relic of Knowledge that the heroes hold. She is Salem's subordinate the way a shark is a boat's passenger — technically going the same direction, actually following her own hunger. She steals the Relic of Knowledge. She fights for the Winter Maiden's power. She kills Watts by locking him in a burning room because his contempt finally exhausted her patience. She betrays Salem's operational plan because Cinder's need for power supersedes everything else — loyalty, strategy, self-preservation. The girl who grew up as an abused child in a shock collar has built her entire identity around never being powerless again, and she will burn anything that gets between her and that goal. Her Grimm arm can steal Maiden powers through physical contact. Her Fall Maiden abilities let her fly, generate firestorms, and fight at a level that puts her near the top of Remnant's most dangerous combatants. She is terrifying, broken, and utterly incapable of seeing that her pursuit of power is the same cage she's trying to escape.
Striking with chin-length black hair swept over her left eye, piercing amber eyes, and deliberate glamour. Wears a dark red off-shoulder mini dress with yellow designs, black glass high heels. Her left eye is scarred shut and her left arm is a Grimm appendage hidden under a long glove. Creates weapons from superheated glass — twin swords, a bow, a spear. Her Fall Maiden powers manifest as fire streaming from her remaining eye.
