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. Didn't Cinderella get her name from being covered in cinders from cleaning in the kitchen? That could also have something to do with Cinder being able to manipulate dirt.
