Cinder's reasoning over V4 and her flashback was clear, she wanted the power she felt entitled to, and then after being injured she wanted power for revenge to the point she endured grim transplantation, unless Ruby is dead at the end(which is a possibility, but not likely) for what purpose could she possible be trusted to cease hostilities?

2. My point is that if Salem dies amiably Tyrian has a better chance than Cinder at being OK ceasing hostilities, sure Ruby cost him an ass-hole but if his Goddess says she's OK... I feel it would be about 50/50 odds he takes that well. I don't honestly expect he'll live that long, but it's better odds than Cinder has.

3. Agreed, my point was his odds vs Cinder's

4. See #1. We know what we need to know about how she responds from V4, We know broadly what she wanted them for initially from V3, we further know what the Grimm inside her body are controlled by; either her will or by fear of her. if she gives just an inch she could die at any time, unless she loses an arm again or gains a new reason for living. I think people judge Cinder too strongly here. She wants to kill Ruby because Ruby messed her up. However, that doesn't mean she has to turn good to get over it. Her injuries were a result of Salem's machinations ultimately, and if she were to learn Salem's plan isn't exactly what she was wanting, then she is more likely to temper her hostility to Ruby. By all appearances, Salem's plan is to bring the relics together, summon the Gods, and wipe out humanity. Cinder wants power, but does she really want to wipe out humanity? I mean, she probably would die too.
