Appearance: After the timeskip following the Fall of Beacon, Cinder's appearance went through a drastic change. Her hair is much shorter and she wears a mask that appears to be made of black glass over her missing left eye and the scarring from said injury extends into a slight x-shape over the bridge of her nose, as well as having deformed and degraded the tissue of her left ear. Cinder can't no longer use her left eyes. She wears a long, dark red, velvet dress with one long, wide sleeve hiding her left arm. The collar and the opening for the right arm are trimmed with gold piping, and the dress is decorated with golden regal designs from the collar over the left shoulder and down the left sleeve. The right side of the dress is split from the hip down with two gold-colored straps made of interwoven ropes connecting the front half to the back half of her thigh. Under the dress, she appears to wear black pantyhose. On her right arm she wears a gray, opera-length glove with gold metal trim atop the cuff with curved, branching extensions up her arm. She retains her glass high heels. The brooch on her right hip has changed; the feathers are colored a cyan-magenta gradient and are arranged in an array facing downward. Her previous earring has been replaced by one with a black hoop and a larger gem, and there is a new black hoop earring higher up. Cinder reveals that her left arm has been replaced with a Shadow Hand grafted halfway up her upper arm where there is a significant amount of scarring. The appendage resembles that of a Geist, with a skeletal forearm and long, sharp claws. The arm is also capable of stretching great distances, and periodically emits black smoke. Upon her defeat against Raven Branwen, Cinder mask are broken leaving the scar bare, and her left sleeve are getting tore off. Cinder Shadow hand are disappeared following her memories loss leaving the stump at the middle of her upper arm

Personality: Cinder is ruthless and sadistic, as demonstrated when she delivers a killing blow to a clearly defeated Pyrrha Nikos and when she throws a spear at a defenseless Weiss Schnee. She is relentlessly driven to gain power and determined to cross any line to obtain it. Cinder demonstrates a cunning that shows in her successful manipulation of events and people throughout the first three volumes. Cinder is also arrogant and egomaniacal and, as such, relishes in dominance and gloating, displaying shameless pleasure in the misery she has caused others. She believes that the power she is after is owed to her, having been promised godlike abilities and the Maiden powers by Salem. She also seems to be ambitious and demanding in the role of a leader, expecting her subordinates to execute exactly as she wishes with what little she gives them. She does not seem to tolerate failure, preferring for her goals to be successful regardless of the situation. Cinder prefers that such problems be solved quickly, is seen to give very direct orders, and keeps her subordinates on a strictly need-to-know basis, sharing a similar leadership style to Salem. Usually, she maintains a calm and collected demeanor and is willing to take over a fight if necessary. In the rare occurrence in which she is caught off guard, Cinder's monumental temper surfaces, showing her immense shock and outrage. This is most notable when Jaune Arc just barely nicks the edge of her mask during the Battle of Haven resulting in Cinder flying into a childish rage and start to yell and make threats. This explosive response to even the slightest attack on her shows Cinder's intolerance of fear, leading her to react poorly when others see her feel it. Cinder seeks to be feared and therefore detests being made to feel fear by both her enemies and her superiors alike. Additionally, Cinder is stated to be jealous of those with natural talents. When Cinder first obtained the Fall Maiden powers, she saw it similarly to a brand-new toy that made her feel like she was the best and strongest. Because of this, she became addicted to the feeling and stopped considering the strengths she had acquired before that moment. Because of this, she was humiliated from her defeat and injury by Ruby atop Beacon Tower. As shown in Volume 4, she did not display her usual confidence, instead appearing sullen and taking insults from the other members of Salem's Inner Circle without reply due to her inability to speak, thus relying on her subordinates. Even after recovering in Volume 5, her deep desire for vengeance against Ruby clouds her judgement, shown when she negotiates a deal with Raven Branwen to stage an ambush in Haven Academy, despite protest from Arthur Watts. In the end, this results in Raven betraying Cinder, leaving her for dead and taking the Relic of Knowledge. Cinder's thirst and desperation for power stems from a life of powerlessness and having nothing. This desperation has led to a fear of failure and a hatred towards the elite class, who have held power from others forever. She apparently detests being called out on her actions, as shown when Raven cites Cinder's choice to take the arm of a Grimm. Cinder retorts angrily, showing she sees herself as being beyond judgment or the moral codes of others. She is incapable of accepting any sort of criticism from others. However, she is visibly horrified watching as Tyrian Callows maniacally kill a Beowolf in grief of having displeased Salem, showing that even she has limits with absolute violence. It is implied that Cinder only enjoys the psychological torture she inflicts and dislikes the bloodier brutality of her associates. Cinder chose to hasten Pyrrha's demise by incinerating her body, sparing her a slow death after being shot in the ribcage. This hints that Cinder might possess a small sense of mercy. Cinder's current personality and desperation for power stems from the abuse she suffered as a child. She faced constant bullying, starvation and abuse from the other children from the home she was raised in, and was later abused even further after being adopted by her step-family, who treated her as nothing more than a servant and abused her regularly. Despite no longer being under them, Cinder still retains several psychological scars from their abuse. This is seen in Cinder's behavior, where she had apparently unconsciously adopted the cruel traits of her past abusers into her own personality. Though the electrocution she got from the necklace also had an effect on her, making Cinder disdainful of physical torture. As seen during her childhood, Cinder had a more positive and vulnerable side to her personality. This is was partially due to the positive influence of her mentor Rhodes, who attempted to guide Cinder to a better path in life as a Huntress. This is seen when, after being talked down by Rhodes about her wanting revenge on her step-family, Cinder backed down from wishing to hurt them and expressed her true desire of simply wanting to be free and be strong enough to look after herself without relying on them any longer. With Rhodes' influence, Cinder instead chose to focus on becoming a Huntress and becoming old enough to leave. This would later not come to pass after she kills her step-family due to them finally taking their abuse too far. This showed that Cinder initially was hesitant at the prospect of killing and that she was only resorting to it due to seeing it as her only way out, as was seen after Cinder had killed her step-family and was noticeably repulsed by her own actions and did not actively enjoy or take pleasure in having taken their lives. Cinder was also shown to have developed a genuine friendship with Rhodes, most likely due to his being the first person in her life to have treated her with kindness. She later felt deeply betrayed after Rhodes made his stance clear that he would take her in for killing her step-family, causing her to enter into a rage for him having betrayed her trust. Later after Cinder successfully killed him, she would shed a single tear for her mentor. Following her experience at the Glass Unicorn, Cinder began hating being "under someone's thumb". She hates it when other people have power over her and even when she works with someone, she is not content to do as she is instructed. She herself always wants to be at the top and can't be anyone's equal. An interesting aspect of Cinder was her initial charm. This is most evident in the start of the series, where she mixes both the intimidating aspect of her powers with coquettish behavior. After the Fall of Beacon, this charm is far less present due to her obsession with revenge, which makes her less patient and quick to insult the people she needs to work with. Her subsequent outfits are slightly more conservative, concealing more skin and her Grimm arm. After getting defeated by Raven Branwen, Cinder have loss her memories and completely forgot about the monster she was.

Powers and Abilities: Cinder is a highly skilled combatant in both unarmed combat and swordsmanship. She is also a capable markswoman, launching three arrows at once with great accuracy and pragmatically exploiting any advantage whenever possible, such as launching an arrow in Amber's back just as the latter was about to kill Emerald. Cinder has shown to be quite stealthy as well, having snuck around a guard at Beacon Academy to easily knock him out and escaping Ruby when the latter encounters her on her mission and fights her. She is also quite adept at piloting, able to fly a Bullhead during one of Glynda's attacks. Cinder is adept at Aura-based blocking technique. She can make extensive use of raw Dust without difficulty. Cinder's physical strength is shown being well above average. Cinder has a high pain tolerance, most likely due to her years in the Glass Unicorn. Following her memories loss, most of Cinder fighting techniques are forgotten too, she only have her muscles memories now

Weapon: Currently, Cinder is able to use her Maiden powers to conjure Magical Weapons at will. Usually, she prefers using blades, and has shown to wield a variety of differently shaped ones with ease. However, she has also conjured bows, arrows and spears as well. Cinder has also shown some skill in using polearm weapons, with her having used at least two different spears as projectiles. As seen with her arrows and blades, Cinder can make her projectile weapons explode at will, with them being shown to possess considerable power in order to bombard her targets. After losing her memories, Cinder forgot how to conjure Magical Weapons at will

Semblance: Scorching Caress, allows her to super-heat objects and manipulate their shape. She can use it to generate explosions by super-heating the ground, as well as turn dirt and dust into glass. The most notable instance of Cinder's Semblance is during her fight with Pyrrha Nikos, during which she disintegrates her opponent with Scorching Caress. Her main usage of it in battle is both launching projectiles created by superheating dirt. She can also produce heat from any part of her skin. Cinder also forgot how to use her semblance after losing memories

Shadow Hand: During the Fall of Beacon, Cinder is severely injured by Ruby's Silver Eyes. Following this, her left arm is replaced with a Grimm limb known as a "Shadow Hand". It is implied that the arm itself possesses some sort of sentience, as Salem instructed her to make her new limb respect and fear her. The arm is capable of stretching out a long distance and has been shown to be capable of extracting the Maiden powers as seen in her fight with Amber. It is also able to drain the Aura of others, allowing Cinder to fight longer and survive lethal damage by leeching off others' vitality. The arm is capable of regrowing after being cut off with no permanent damage. However, the process itself is exceptionally painful, with Cinder screaming in agony as it regenerated itself. Following Cinder memories loss, The Shadow hand are disappeared and Cinder can't use it anymore

Fall Maiden Powers: Cinder gained the ability to use fire-based attacks without the need of Dust or her Semblance. Cinder later displayed power over other elements she has not used before, such as conjuring a small blast of ice nd the power of wind to levitate herself and fly at high speeds. Furthermore, Cinder also used the power of earth to create a giant flaming molten rock sword out of thin air. Her skill over fire allows her to conjure her glass based weapons without the need of Dust or her Semblance. As the Fall Maiden, she is the only one that can access the chamber of the Relic of Choice, although has yet to do so. Cinder memories loss prevent her from access her Maiden Power
