While the characters aren't a one-to-one match to their inspiration, they do have references to them and some more strongly than others. Instead of a fairy godmother who would help her find happiness, she got a wicked witch who promised her power beyond anything she could ever imagine. Yeah, they revised Cinder's fairy godmother and gave her the reverse role that she had in Cinderella. Why, then, do you assume that they're not going to do exactly the same thing with Cinder and her step family? Instead of her stepmother and sisters being evil, they could easily turn out to be nice people, with Cinder acting as the abusive one.

And, with everything we know about Cinder, that would certainly make more sense than the alternative. She strikes me more as the 'bad seed' psychopath who spurned her family's kindness than she does the traumatized victim of abuse. But, then again, I'm looking at it objectively, whereas you are obviously so desperate that she be vindicated that you're willing to believe just about anything so long as it conforms to your desires.

Oh, and sorry if what I just wrote doesn't meet your high standards for a response. I'll try harder to please you next time, master.
