Not only that, but there's no video evidence of Rooster Teeth saying that, so without a video or a tweet or something of members of the RWBY crew saying it, we can't add it to the wiki and can't be certain if it's true.

1. Cinder turned dirt into glass while fighting Amber, which was before she got any amount of Fall Maiden powers. She was able to do it because she had Dust sewn into her clothing.

With that in mind, it's cool if we consider that Cinder was supposed to be based off of Cinderella. Cinderella was born into poverty and gained everything she wanted from a "fairy godmother". Sound kinda similar?

I think I could believe that her Semblance has something to do with dirt manipulation. Before Maiden powers, she would use the Fire Dust in her clothes to superheat it and then have it form into glass shards to be propelled possibly: Or, she could "transform" dirt into glass. Akin to CInderella being transformed into a princess by her fairy godmother.
