fear.

@flamine​ ♡’d for a starter

“P-Please stop pointing that at me! I told you, I dunno anything—” Girl cowers at weapon pointed in her direction, likely not a lethal one, but she’s not looking to test the patience of the stranger. Er, roommate, technically, Ahiru supposes? A lot is, happening, to say the least. 

“We’re all kinda stuck in this situation, so if we could at least get along since we’re living together, I’d really like that.” Okay, a bit optimistic, but even if the other says no, she ain’t no quitter! They’re probably just like you, right? Scared and confused about the situation. Right? Right. Totally understandable! Nothing to hold a grudge over! 

          when they finally get a good glimpse of the person in front of them, they sigh in relief, like the weight of a cinderblock being lifted from their chest.  it’s a child.  the villain emits an irritated ‘ rrgh ’ sound, a growl in response to the sudden fear ahiru was able to shoot through their veins.  how embarrassing.  “ so you are my... roommate. ”

          “ and that’s precisely why i thrive on it.  to watch your enemies tremble beneath your blade before the kill… there is no sensation like it. ”  cinder’s lips curl into a devious smirk, flexing the bony fingers of their cursed hand in and out of a fist.  how the arm spewing literal clouds of darkness ate away at them from the inside out when negativity grew near, but simultaneously brought cinder to a new high they’d never experience anywhere else… it was an addicting cycle that only wrought destruction of others and self.  

          ah, yes, it’s coming back to them now, times of old— the vytal festival, the boy’s partner having a fear of water, the entirety of their fight being utterly laughable.  as they look him up and down, fall knows it would be idiocy of them to deny that they’re making eye contact.  surely, the boy knows them, the titan to rip down beacon by the pillars of its foundation.  yet all they remember of him are flashbacks to the festival.  he seemed to hang around blake often.  insignificant.

          after a few seconds, they finally acknowledge his presence.  “ it’s awfully rude to stare, boy, don’t you think? ”

          you, they think to themself as she approaches, swallowing trauma - wrought anxiety into the depths of their throat ( and it hurts — it feels like a rock going down ).  once ruby is close enough to hear, they speak up.  “ it would seem i can’t escape you, little rose, ” former maiden announces, voice oozing both charm and irritation.  their golden eye narrows.  “ how curious it is that we’ve arrived in the same predicament. ”

please make sure you check out my app for a list of triggers that’ll be on this blog! cinder’s character is very dark, as is the backstory i’ve given them.

cinder is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, which differs from canon. this is the biggest change to remember with my portrayal of them; please please please try to remember this!

can sweet talk and/or manipulate near anyone into liking them

dual wields swords very sexily 😳

wants to be charming and evil and sexey so fucking badly but really is just a feral bastard ISO power

23 years old and still has temper tantrums ( but that’s definitely linked to Backstory Trauma™ that you can probably unlock if you really want to endure being their friend for an extended period )

pyromaniac

got beat up by a 15 year old and lost a limb and an eye in the process

has a scary monster arm that their shady mother figure “gave them” to replace the other arm. it’s slowly consuming their body and soul, nbd

sadistic

needs People to thrive. their self esteem is based on other people’s opinions of them but i don’t think cinder even actually knows that themself

will not hesitate to cut down people who stand in their way, but the nerf to their weapon will stop them from murder... for now.

literally no idea how to accept genuine affection or express it themself, also related to Backstory Trauma™

expects the worst from everybody

has a losing record in fights despite how powerful they are, but also tends to impulse fight the strongest people around so it’s kinda understandable. sorry cin

easy to anger

has actually killed a teenager for sport

literally the most unstable person you will ever meet in your life, but cinder fall will look cool doing it.
