cinder's card mentions how she hates people who are just given power because she had none, but i can't find it.

honestly manipulating glass would go against her character in a way. ok, hear me out. she was born into nothing. her "magnificent power" was literally playing with dirt. semblances can be so amazing but she gets dust. no wonder she wants power. like mercury she had to work extra hard to get where she is now.

so now this way she can still manipulate and create glass, but you have all of this other baggage and story behind it that add to her character and make her power interesting
