My own theory is Cinder will live (unfortunately) up until the finale. Ruby will try appealing to Salem's lingering humanity to finally stop her campaign against Remnant, only for Cinder to blindside her and reduce her to a puddle. Thinking she's dead, Cinder tries to do the same to Ruby, and while she's still stronger, she can't crush her as quickly as she'd prefer. Knowing Salem's secret, Ruby maneuvers the battle until Cinder is standing in front of Salem's "corpse," who then reforms and erases her ungrateful child from existence, demonstrating what a fool she was to betray her Fairy Godmother.

Her backstory not being explored is a reason to keep her around rather than an excuse to kill her. Would certainly be obscene if they killed Cinder off without doing anything with her backstory after the whole Adam situation. Not necessarily, Team JNR will keep fighting the war even if Cinder is dead, especially since they know more of what's at stake than Cinder probably does. And you seem to forget, RT has shown villains' backstories posthumously, they could've easily done so with Cinder had she perished in Haven. I can see them doing the same for Adam in Volume 7, thus proving they don't need him alive to tell his story. And frankly, I wouldn't be the least bit offended if Cinder got fridged, she's long lost her chance to be of any interest to me, so I certainly wouldn't miss her.
