Ok, this will be somewhat lengthy.

Many of the old stories of Red Riding Hood, relating to Ruby, state that her parents died, in some cases she was present and it scarred her emotionally, and she was adopted by her Aunt and Uncle to live with them and her cousin. Now, Yang holds this similar nature to aforementioned cousin. It could be that because of the fire nature present in her temper and her aura, that she may be related to Cinder.

One of my theories is that she is related to Goldilocks, by how her markings and parts of her dress glow yellow when using her powers, and that she is the mother of Melanie and Miltia. The reason for this is the fact that a few of the old stories/versions of Goldilocks has the girl burning the bear's homes in fear and thus either killing the bears or keeping them in fear of her.

ie) She is using Torchwick who originally obtained assistance from Junior, the youngest bear, and Melanie and Miltia work with Junior.

Melanie and Miltia can be originating from old stories of Snow White, Melanie, and her sister Rose Red, Miltia. They originally lived in a forest cabin and were left by their mother, and when they grew up went through the forest and found a bear who was hurt. They helped him and he continued to come back to them, entertaining them with stories and then he warned them of a nasty dwarf. When they were walking in the forest one day, they found a dwarf stuck in a tree by his beard. They cut it off to free him and he cursed and spat at them. Later on, when they were in the forest they heard screams and found the dwarf being attacked by the bear. The dwarf asked for help but the girls let the bear kill him. Turns out the dwarf cast a spell on a prince that made him into a bear. With the dwarf dead the prince turned back to normal and brought the girls to his kingdom. He married Snow White and his brother married Rose Red.

Now, I know they aren't married but I am pretty sure that Junior could be the bear "prince" and Melanie the Snow White mentioned here.

With all of this Cinder could relate to either Yang or Melanie and Miltia... or we could both be completely off and she is just a different character.
