I think we can't say anything about Cinder apart from being evil. It's not safe and will be purely speculation bu that's ok for me. In my opinion, I agree with the idea of her being an ex-huntress and her objectives may be affect the balance and the peace of the world as it is at the moment.

For example, the lyrics talk about the characters being weapons used for unknown purposes. And like any weapon, it will eventually reach its limit and become useless. Sacrificed so someone else can claim the victory.

Imagine if what's Cinder is aiming for is to destroy Beacon. The most prestigious school for huntsmen and huntresses in training so that hunters can't be trained anymore.
