Talk:Cinder Fall/@comment-2238912-20190712050233

Cinder's [Character Bio] for ''Knight's Chronicle has an interesting tidbit about her. It says that she's jealous of those with natural talents. While it admittedly seems unimportant, it certainly ties into a lot of Cinder's actions throughout the show. Her desire for power, her constant need to be on top and in control, her freak out when Jaune nicked her mask in Volume 5. Given her Cinderella allusion, it's quite possible she grew up in an abusive household and was made to feel helpless and feel that she would never amount to anything for most of her life until her Fairy Godmother came along in the form of Salem.

And given that, as Raven implies, Fall is possibly not even her real name, it seems Cinder has quite the inferiority complex and her ego and sadism are defense mechanisms to cover up the fact she's just an insecure, scared little girl on a power trip.

Now I really hope we learn more about her backstory in Volume 7.
