Imma let the bad guy take it so she'll leave so we can clean up her mess." Personally, I think the curve ball would be Cinder dies, Amber dies, Emerald becomes the new maiden after turning good, and thus she has reason for the series to basically ignore her while the brotherhood sends her away somewhere.

That'd be pretty funny. Though I think it was mentioned Cinder's "Arc" is ending in Volume 4 because of how the seasons have had content pushed back. So it seems like she'll live. I was going for an overall arc, not this season... for one, I doubt Cinder will die this season and that Emerald will turn good in this season or the next one

Ah gotcha. Yeah I honestly feel like Cinder is just as much of a tool as Emerald and Mercury are tools to her.

Chapter 7 makes it sound like she's someone who was weak and experienced a bad event. And afterwards wanted power. Someone showed up and gave her a way to get it. And I think Cinder is getting the power only to be killed in a way convenient for whomever she works for.
