A lot of people seem to get annoyed with Miles and Kerry for keeping her around for so long. Some have insinuated that they're in love with her or something.

I see it differently. I think they've kept her around because the conditions for killing her off have never been right. 4 things need to happen for Cinder to die.

1 - Emerald has to be in the picture.

2 - Her backstory has to be divulged.

3 - JNPR has to be involved in her death.

4 - A popular villain has to be on hand to replace her.

This is precisely why I think she's going down for real in V8. Emerald is back in town, JNPR is cocked and ready to go, Cinder's dialogue in the V7 finale may have been a precursor to her finally getting some backstory, and Neo seems to be the obvious choice to usurp Cinder. With all 4 of these conditions potentially met, I believe she's finally vulnerable, and I believe her time is at an end.

I would bet this is the volume she finally gets whats coming to her.

She BETTER be going down next Volume.

Plus, she still hasn’t had her fight with Ruby yet. That’s like the 5th requirement.

And I highly doubt that MK will keep her around until the end of the series or something, she’s gotta go at some point.
