What is more interesting is the opening with Cinder's talk of wanting power and wanting to be feared. Someone above said that it sounded like a vanilla reason for being evil, but I don't think that is the case. Part of my thinking on Cinder for a while has been based on an assumption I have made about what I called the Black Dragon continent during my analysis of the map of Remnant.

One thing that I have considered is that Cinder was a regular human who had lived on that continent and for whatever reason her settlement or home was destroyed. She then came before the Grimm Queen who I think resides there on the grounds that it is the densest area of shadow on Remnant's map. Perhaps Cinder's talk about wanting power and to be feared arises from something horrible that happened to her or the place where she lived and when the Grimm arrived at her settlement the Queen decided to take Cinder under her wing and offerred her the power she wanted.

I think it confirms she serves someone else, but I'm not sold on a Grimm Queen. So far, Grimm don't seem that different than animals other than the fact they are attracted to fear and killing humans. Beowolves travel in packs. There are groups of Goliath. So far, it doesn't really sell that the Grimm are a collective hive that serve a queen.

Unless we assume the most sentient and experienced of Grimm have slowly come together to the point they have developed their own hierarchy. If there is a Grimm Queen, I can only imagine they are a human who somehow became a Grimm or are human who has an ability to manipulate Grimm.
