She seems too evil to do something like that. But I really like the idea. I really do. Allow a lot of people to die in order to remind the remainder that there is still a dangerous world beyond the walls. It might not make her "Evil" per say but it's still some pretty twisted logic and makes her vary dangerous.

Also she's using faunas as a proxy which is still a really crappy thing to do.

It's not that I mind the idea, I don't. This being Cinders belief could create an interesting motivation if done well. The problem is that if this is her motivation would make her kind of a nut job and balancing this with her actually being intelligent (which she is) could be difficult. This is because you have to balance the argument that killing people and potentially causing a war which can destabilise a nation thus weakening it would somehow make it stronger with the ability to plan strategically and think ahead which are skills Cinder demonstrates.

The explanation as to how she came to this conclusion would have to ether be through pure desperation & Cinder in no way acts desperate or a shear lack of empathy with and understanding of humans which considering she's a cold blooded killer may be plausible.

I still like the idea of her being from Mountain Glen and after revenge.
