I took this episode as basically confirming that Cinder is serving the Grimm Queen and I believe she will be voiced by Jen Taylor. What is more interesting is the opening with Cinder's talk of wanting power and wanting to be feared. Someone above said that it sounded like a vanilla reason for being evil, but I don't think that is the case. Part of my thinking on Cinder for a while has been based on an assumption I have made about what I called the Black Dragon continent during my analysis of the map of Remnant.

One thing that I have considered is that Cinder was a regular human who had lived on that continent and for whatever reason her settlement or home was destroyed. She then came before the Grimm Queen who I think resides there on the grounds that it is the densest area of shadow on Remnant's map. Perhaps Cinder's talk about wanting power and to be feared arises from something horrible that happened to her or the place where she lived and when the Grimm arrived at her settlement the Queen decided to take Cinder under her wing and offerred her the power she wanted.
