Cynder the Dragon

"quote"

species: dragon

hatched: Mountain of Malefor

PARENTAGE

Daughter of Crystal (Cyril the Ice Guardian's sister) and the clandestine Shadow Guardian Oscuro.

YOUTH

When hatchling Cynder was “corrupted by the Dark Master’s poisonous powers”, she became possessed by Malefor. He was physically weak, but many of Cynder’s actions and words were actually done and said by the Dark Master, such as the various incursions against the Dragons, and the perhaps even quote,

“If only life were that easy, little one.”

When Spyro said “There was something familiar in her eyes, Ignitus,” the “something familiar” was sorrow. Sorrow that was so great, for a moment it had shone through the possession of the Dark Master. She didn’t know it then, but that grief was for all that she had done in moments of his control. All that she had witnessed him doing through her.

When she said, “My master returns,” she truly meant that however, for she didn’t know that it was Malefor that was controlling her, and thought that bringing back Malefor would be welcoming a hero back to the realm, a hero that could possibly help her gain freedom as well.

Cynder’s DotD powers

Her powers are not a result of Malefor’s darkness, but of Spyro’s (being in Spyro’s time crystal after he was momentarily dark). She is getting some temporary effects of dark purple dragons.
