Cynder

Role
Cynder first made her appearance in The Legend of Spyro (series) and plays a large role. She is a relative of Spyro (even though they were the same batch of eggs doesn't mean they were laid by the same Dragon) was once subjected to the will of Malefor at a young age. Spyro managed to break his hold of her multiple times but remains a considerable risk due to exposure to the Dark Realms.

Personality
After being freed, she has been rather confused but subborn about her stance in situations. While not moaning over her guilty conscience, she is light-hearted, somewhat snappy, and very willing.

Background
Now I want to get something straight here: There's a difference between being in a life & death situation and normal activities. It seems odd that Cynder is rebellious of Spyro at times to suddenly propose love to him when they're possibly about to die. Plus, since Spyro is too busy trying to forge Tarlax back together he may of not of even heard her say it.

With that out of the way, let's talk about how she can be retconed into the Original Era. There is a possibility she remains on Tarlax somewhere and has gone her own way or her exposure got the best of her and was forced back into the Convexity Realm. Not pretty.

I have no idea what the tattoos mean but I presume someone either gave them to her at a young age before being converted or when she was converted.
