Furthermore, I want to talk about that whole "Cinder's allergic to SEWs because of her Grimm Glove." What Salem said was:

"But your newfound strength brings with it a crippling weakness"

That's implying that the glove has nothing to do with it. Instead, it's saying that the strength itself comes with the weakness, or that Maiden Powers are inherently allergic to SEWs.

Though my main point is this: We really do not know as much about Silver-Eyed Warriors as we think we do. All of this was more for the sake of "what if we're full of it" and "how much are we sure we're not full of it"? OK... I don't think you are understanding the theory you're talking about....

Part 1: The Glove "WAS" a grim, this we know, the part of this that is theory is that said grim absorbed the maiden powers into itself, "NOT" into Cinder

Part 2: The glove transferred into Cinder's body(becoming her tattoo)  again, we know this happened, the maiden powers themselves are not what the tattoo is, otherwise the Ozluminati would have known Cinder for what she was. What the theory infers is that she now has a grimm living inside her as a parasitic(if somewhat symbiotic) organism, the only reason it doesn't kill/subvert her to its own will is her own willpower and its fear of the host.

Part 3: The SEW kills Grimm PAINFULLY, by changing their state of being, but does nothing to humans.... Have you ever tried or heard about what happens when you are in an enclosed space with an injured animal(no matter how docile)? Now imagine what happens when the "animal" is an eldritch horror trying to kill you as its purpose for existing... and "YOU" are the enclosed space.

Part 4: now remember what Cinder is controlling it with... the fear of death... what happens when a sentient creature controlled by fear of death is actively dying... from something else you're forcing it to do? it tries to assert its own control by directly opposing the controllers interests... like killing the controller.

That Cinder isn't dead should by this theory be because of Ruby incapacitating her grimm... the scars are because of both how she did it AND how long it took to do so.
