At this point, my personal headcanon is that Cinder is a nobody; To the four kingdoms, she doesn't exist.

But in the underground world, she's legendary.

At this point, I'm open to the possibility that Cinder may just be a pawn to the true main antagonist, who is far far higher in authority to her. Maybe even a head of a kingdom to make "Queen" more symbolic.

Or in the worst case scenario, Mother Grimm.

Right now though, all we know is that the main antagonist is female. And Cinder may or may not fit the bill.
