Sacrificed for one huge lie?" from the volume 2 opening), I actually think we might get a really awesome twist in which Cinder actually turns out to be more of an anti-hero, trying to foil the plot of a diabolical puppetmaster controlling and manipulating who we think are the good guys right now. Maybe Raven discovered something that caused her to side with Cinder, or maybe she is on an even higher rank than Cinder in their faction. Who knows, really? I've been thinking this for a while, actually. Like, perhaps the kingdoms' governments, such as Vale's, are corrupt and have a habit of sending Huntsmen/Huntresses on suicide missions and using them like expendable pawns, not actually caring if they die or not. Cinder knows this and seeks to take down the government and rebuild it into a better one.

It's like if the plot of FF7 was told from the perspective of a member of SOLDIER instead of Cloud, who was on the side of AVALANCHE, the "terrorist" group that was just trying to take down Shinra to save the world.
