Lord Jaric wrote: No one is born evil. Look at the most evil people in history and there is always series of events in their lives that made them who they are. Now whether they deserve sympathy is whole 'nother matter. I didn't say Cinder was born evil. What I said was that she could have easily channeled her problems in a more productive way. The way she chose was evil. So, while she may not have been born evil, her choices certainly were.

Arguing about whether somebody is born evil is a waste of time. Infants don't really have the psychological capacity to show evil (if they have it). Arguing about a person's choices is far more substantive. And literally all of Cinder's choices (that we've seen) have been pure evil. So, regardless of whether or not she was evil straight out of the womb, Cinder is pure evil, and she's been that way for quite a while.
