Respect Cinder Fall (RWBY)
#I want to be strong. I want to be feared. I want to be powerful.
Cinder Fall started her life weak and helpless, growing up in an orphanage in Mistral before being adopted. Her new “stepmother” was only interested in obtaining a hotel worker, however. It’s here at her new home in Atlas where Cinder grew up under the constant tyranny of a supposed family.
But things changed when Prince Charming entered the picture. A Huntsman named Rhodes saw the cruelty Cinder endured and took pity on her. Resolving to become a Huntress herself, the two trained for years in order to earn Cinder her freedom.
And yet power doesn’t always land in capable hands. Cinder slaughtered the ones who abused her, and killed Rhodes soon after. She was finally free. And she wanted more. Cinder Fall won’t hesitate to manipulate, murder, or misguide to get what she wants. And if they won’t give it to her? She’ll take it.
All I did was the formatting for the thread (and grabbed 2 feats), huge thanks to u/InverseFlash for collecting feats from volumes 1-5 and u/Godofyawn for collecting feats from Volumes 6-8, the mangas, and the comic.
###Key
Aura: The manifestation of one's soul. It can be used to augment attacks, heal the user, or act like a force field to defend the user from harm. Aura is a limited resource in battle, and once a person's Aura is depleted, they are vulnerable to attacks. Additionally, sensations such as pain and heat are not blocked by Aura. However, Aura will regenerate outside of combat. Aura can also be manifested in the form of a user's Semblance, an ability that is unique from person to person.
Semblance: An ability unique to its user. They are fueled by Aura. Cinder's Semblance is Scorching Caress. Scorching Caress allows Cinder to superheat objects and alter their shape. She would use her semblance to manipulate her weapon, Midnight, but after becoming the Fall Maiden she stopped using Midnight in favor of creating weapons using her Maiden powers.
