Cinder is supposed to be based of Cinderellas, right? I have to say, I'm not familiar with the original story but I would look over there for her motivations since Cinderella is the protagonist of her tale.

That said, one thing many have wondered is why the White Fang is colaborating with humans. Blake herself was shocked when she saw them working with Roman.

Now, let's look at what we know about the White Fang:

- they started off as a pacific organization representing the faunus upon the end of the war.

- 5 years before the current timeline their leader step down.

- the new leader proposed the violent measures the White Fang uses now days.

- they have been attacking and stealing dust for a while now.

- Roman is colaborating with them per Cinder's command.

Now, we don't know for sure what happened 5 years ago that caused the original leader to step down. It could simply be him breaking down after years of failiture at gaining equal rights for the faunus... but it could also be some event that caused him to either break down at a personal level or loose the support of the rest fot he White Fang. In that scenario, it should also be something that could provoque the pacific mindset to become vengeful.

So, I was thinking, about Cinder. In Volume 2's trailer we see her alongside Junior, Melanie and Militia. During the Yellow trailer we can apreciate a pair of wing like structures coming from the back of Melanie's hips.

I know there has been disscussion about them beign simple decoration, as in, part of the dress, or being actual wings and that she is a faunus.

Now, what if, and this is a big what if, Cinder, being human, still supported closely the White Fang and the faunus. Something bad went down during one of the White Fang's pacific manifestations 5 years ago and resulted in the death/s of faunus. Like, they were protesting peacefuly but the police/private security took violent measures to repress them.

And this made the White Fang loose their patience and declare war. And the faunus who died was/were someone Cinder was particulary close with so she took a turn for the dark side.
