Further more, we know that Cinder is most likely based of of Cinderella, who was just a poor, mistreated girl. Let's look into her assoicates name. Mercury is most likely based off of the roman god Mercury who is the patron god of financial gain, commerce, messages/communication,  travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves; he is also the guide of souls to the underworld. (Phew, that was a mouthfull.) So, he doesn't seem bad at all. Now, Emerald was a little bit more complicated. I couldn't find a specific person that she could be based off of, so I just looked at the gem itself. The gemstone emerald is thought to preserve love. It is also a long standing symbol of hope. And it also shows faith. Not sure if any of this is relevant. But, you never know.
