She has a gold loop earring with a black gem dangling from it on her right ear. She wears black shorts underneath her dress, as well as a black choker on her neck. The sleeves end in a triangle shape, which are wrapped or tied around her middle finger, with the gold designs of the sleeve taking over at the wrists. There is a quarter-circle shaped keyhole on the dress' upper back at the same height as her chest. The dress ends in an upside-down triangular tail in the back, ending just above the knees. There is a blue feather-like accessory on her right hip at the top of an open portion of her dress. She wears a dark red, off-the-shoulders v-neck mini dress with yellow designs.

1.1 Original (Dustweave Vestments, Volumes 1–3)Ĭinder is a fair-skinned woman with ashen-black hair that covers her left eye.

Afterwards, she delivers both Relics to Salem. In ' The Final Word', Cinder obtains the Relic of Creation and the Relic of Knowledge, as well as sending Team RWBY, Jaune Arc and Neo into a void. She later succeeded in getting the Relic of Knowledge thanks to Neo and returned to Salem on Monstra.

She had incredible difficulty speaking for a time, and her entire left arm was eventually replaced with a Shadow Hand.Īfter narrowly surviving a defeat by Raven Branwen, Cinder allied herself with Neopolitan, one of her former associates, in order to eliminate their shared enemy against the orders of Salem. When Beacon fell, Ruby Rose unleashed the power of her Silver Eyes, putting Cinder into a state of near death and causing her to lose her left eye and part of her left arm. During the Fall of Beacon, she gained the other half and killed Ozpin in battle. She made her first appearance in the Volume 1 episode ' Ruby Rose'.Ĭinder used a special Grimm glove to steal half of the Fall Maiden's powers from Amber. Her machinations are the driving force behind the events of the first three volumes of RWBY. She is a member of Salem's Inner Circle and was the leader of her own faction. With its recent history of revolution, a new constitution with an article sanctioning land redistribution from large haciendas to communally owned ejidos, and a national commitment to indigenismo and mestizaje, which appeared to affirm the centrality of Indigenous Mexican culture and history to the nation’s identity, Mexico offered fertile political ground for American Indian writers looking for a path forward for their tribal nations in the final years of the assimilation era and the first years of the Indian New Deal in the mid-1930s.Cinder Fall is the secondary antagonist of RWBY and the primary antagonist of the Beacon Arc.

The work of Riggs and Downing especially coheres in their conception of Indigenous Mexicans as political inspiration for (and, potentially, anti-colonial allies of) Native Americans, and in their critical challenge to modernist aesthetics, including primitivism.

Todd Downing (Choctaw), John Joseph Mathews (Osage), John Milton Oskison (Cherokee), Lynn Riggs (Cherokee), and Will Rogers (Cherokee) developed a transindigenous and transborder imaginary while travelling in Mexico in the 1920s and 1930s.
