To be honest, I think Cinder isnāt going to last as long as we think she is. As in, I DONāT think sheās as endgame material as we think she is.
But sheās one of the primary antagonists of the show!
Yes, but Salem is taking the reigns right now. Youāve seen her getting her Beringel army ready by the V6 stinger. And Hazel said so himself,Ā āIf you want something done right, do it yourself.ā Yes she has Watts and Tyrian going to Atlas too but now weāre actually going to be seeing Salem in action.
But Cinder has Neo as her partner.
Itās heavily implied that even after their truce, Neo is not very fond of Cinder. From the how she rolls her eyes at her to her fake smile right after getting tired from showing her ability to cloak an entire ship with her semblance (she MIGHT even be pulling an act on Cinder). I doubt sheāll be the one to kill Cinder, but Iām sure sheās going to backstab her both figuratively and literally. ALSO, remember Cinderās words to Neo right before Neo agreed:
āHelp me get to Atlas. Help me FIND HER. And the rest... is up to you...ā
So she basically told Neo that after they FIND Ruby, Neo can do what she wants.
Other than that... Cinder wonāt have anyone else. WT_H is not fond of her, Salem, despite knowing that Cinderās alive, left her out, and Emerald and Mercury are starting to get doubts. And since Cinder went to find a loophole to get Neo to kill Ruby even though Salem told Cinder NOT to kill Ruby, where and how do you think Salem knows about Cinderās whereabouts and status?Ā
Maybe... it might be her GRIMM ARM... And if Salem knows about this team up... sheās NOT going to be happy
So all in all, I donāt know what the writers have in mind for Cinder, but from what Iām seeing so far, things are NOT going to be pretty for her in the Atlas arc.
