I have a possible thoery about Cinder Fall:

Cinder's parents were ordinary people (not Huntsmen). For a long time, things went very well until they were killed in a Grimm attack, saving her life at the cost of her own. This left young Cinder in the 'care' of her mother's friend, who was a Huntress, and two children. At first, they seemed very kind and welcoming towards her, but they later showed themselves to be cruel and unkind towards her. She was treated like a slave; deprived of the love she had known from her parents and was raised to only know hatred and anger. Sometimes, the two children would pull cruel pranks on Cinder, ranging from putting spiders in her bed while she was sleeping to publicly humiliating her, making her often break down in tears.

One day, Cinder decided to run away. Huntsmen found her quickly and brought her back home, where she was beaten by her guardian and locked away in her room for a long time. Cinder found a chance to run away again, but ran into Grimm. To her surprise, the Grimm didn't try to kill her. Salem had sensed Cinder's suffering and descent into evil and would use her as one of her lieutenants. Cinder 'disappeared' for years, learning everything she needed to know from Salem, even managing to unlock her Aura and Semblance. However, she was at first hesitant to use them due to her hatred for the Huntsmen, but was convinced by Salem that if she wished to achieve power, she must be willing to use them.

Her first true act of villainy was returning to her home, where her 'caretaker' was ready to punish her for running away. However, because of her immense skill, she easily overpowered and killed her stepfamily, leading her down the path Salem set up for her. Cinder remembered that after she killed them, she laughed for the first time in a long time, out of sadism, which started to surface from that point on.

Cinder later concluded that she would need help, so she decided to 'hire' two followers, Emerald and Mercury. Before they came to Beacon and after stealing some of the Fall Maiden's power, Cinder returned to her old home and found the gravestones of her stepfamily. She declared her sadistic and rage-fueled hatred for the Huntsmen and destroyed their gravestones as a final insult to them.
