Yeah, you're right, we probably won't. I do find it odd that everyone clamors so intensely for Cinder's backstory and motivation, when the fact is that we don't know the backstory/motivation for many if not most of the characters on this show.

I think most people just desperately want some kind of sympathetic explanation for her insanely evil behavior, because they're tired of the show just making her out to be the most supremely unlikable person in the universe. People like to be given reasons to root for the villains, not just reasons to hate them.
