1. We have plentiful in-universe justification for keeping Cinder alive and we have no good plot reason for her to die at this point. 2. More than that, her character had next to none of her background revealed. We know more background information about her subordinates. Only thing really mentioned was that Cinder wanted power. 3. I feel as if the whole character is a waste if they are going to kill her off with so little development.

1. Most of that Justification however is easily debunked when thought about for even a minute. And we have plenty of plot reason too: A. Emerald stops being "Evil Curious" and goes full on Evil to get back at the heroes for Cinder's death. B. The hunt for the new Fall Maiden since Choice is still unclaimed and we don't know if the power is possibly required. C. Jaune's emotions he displayed being unresolved after that incident causing him to have to find another way to deal with them. D. Salem sending out a New Subordinate to take her Place and pose a greater threat to the enemies than even Cinder did. E. Any of Cinder's family coming into the forefront looking for her only to find out her fate? (This one is less likely) 2. What 73.Anon said. Plus, its possible to give character posthumously. Need I remind everyone of another RT Work, Red Vs. Blue, had two entire seasons devoted to showcasing and developing characters that had already died in earlier seasons, and whose deaths we actually witnessed? 3. ...... Really? A lot of times, Villains don't get Development, they're just the Generic Doomsday Villains. Yeah, some villains get some development, but not every villain does. She doesn't need to get development if she's just meant to be a Villain. And even then, she did get some development via Volume 4, her haughtiness and pride growing larger, her entitlement and such being more at the forefront.
