Character: Cynder
Canon: The Legend of Spyro
Version: Video game
Canon Point: Post-Dawn of the Dragon
Age: Unknown officially, teen years. I'm going with 16.
Gender: Female
History: Link yo
Personality: Cynder's an interesting mixture of emotions, when you look at her. The dragoness tries to show herself off as a proud and strong individual, but inside there's a lot of turmoil.
One of her defining qualities that she tries to hide is guilt. Cynder's spent most of her life being evil and under the control of the Dark Master. As a result of being returned to her normal form, she holds a lot of guilt for all the damage she's done during her past. People often remind her of it, and she doesn't really appreciate it. Those who do it in jest, like Sparx, makes her annoyed, and those who are truly angry or afraid of her upsets her. She wishes she could forget that time, but the constant reminders don't help. She tends to question her own actions when those who are evil try to prove that her actions have helped rather than hindered them. Did she believe she was doing right? Or was she being used and controlled?
Despite this, she's also a very serious and loyal dragon. She'd do anything to help out a friend, and because of all the evil that she knows, she's knowledgeable about such things. She takes evil and bad things very seriously, and will do anything to stop them. Her want to stop the Dark Master is great, and it's given her a bit of a vendetta against all things evil. She is very much not the damsel in distress now she's older. Anything that gets in her way can expect to get its butt kicked. She sometimes has issues with letting other people lead the way, but she understands when it's for the best that she follows. Sometimes.
Cynder's also a bit sarcastic and snarky when she talks. She's not afraid to speak her mind. When Spark is going on about something in that way he does (being terrified of all things bad), she's often the one who tells him to be quiet, or gives him a sarcastic reply. She doesn't really play along with the humour things, because most of them annoy her. Despite this, she does have a sense of wonder that can show up. She appreciates things that are pretty and beautiful, and is conscious of things around her.
And there's also her love for Spyro. His unquestioning support of her, always going to try and help her when the Dark Master is attempting to coax her back to his side, has touched her heart. She loves him dearly and would do absolutely anything to ensure his safety. And when he's about to do something supremely stupid (like make her leave when he's going to do something that could kill him), she always knocks some sense into him, literally if she has to. Cynder will stand by him no matter what.
Fears: Cynder has a lot of fears, which is surprising to those who don't know who she was. Above all, she fears the darkness inside her, which has caused her to harm so many people. She dreads facing those that she hurt, because they have no reason to forgive her and she knows it. And she knows that with the wrong influence, that darkness can rise again and turn her against her friends. She never wants this to happen.
She's also afraid of anything happening to Spyro. After admitting she loved him, it would tear her apart if anything bad were to happen to him.
Weaknesses: Her exposure to the Dark Master has left her vulnerable to manipulation. Darkness can call and take over her very easily, and it can be hard for her to shake. She's also uneasy around people who play with words, and make things seem like her fault. Her own self-doubt turns on her.
Theoretically, one of her weaknesses is also Spyro, as she'll do anything to keep him safe. But she'll also kick the tail of anyone who hurts him, so it's a weakness you can't really get at.
Mundane Strengths/Abilities: As a dragon, Cynder can fly. She can also use her claws to climb up walls that give her a grip, such as those covered in vines, as well as use them, her horns, wings and tail in a variety of melee attacks. She is fairly strong, and fast.
Sensitivity/Magical Ability: Unlike most dragons, Cynder can use four different elemental abilities.
- Wind allows her to breathe gusts of wind which pick up and throw enemies about, as well as creating powerful tornados which suck up enemies and objects and batter them into one another.
- Poison lets her breathe a toxic gas which infects enemies and damages them over time. This poison is highly contagious and can spread by touch. She is immune to it, and can cover herself with it to infect foes that she attacks.
- Fear lets Cynder scream a high-pitched cry which paralyses a foe in its tracks while damaging it. She can also create orbs of sound that home in on and paralyse a foe, circling it before exploding.
- Shadow allows Cynder to be able to dive into her own shadow, moving along the ground and jumping out unexpectedly at foes. She can also bypass physical barriers this way. She can also use it to breathe a deadly black fire that suffocates her opponents, causing confusion and making them turn on their allies.
Her sensitivity to the dark and all things evil is fairly high, due to her background. She can't pinpoint it exactly, but when something evil is around, she becomes very uneasy.
Supply List:
- The iron jewellery she wears. Four bands that go around her front legs, tail and neck.
- Various bits of armour that cover her head, front legs and the base of her tail. Usually kept in hammerspace.

Sample RP post:
Cynder had a question for the universe right now. Because, by all normal standards, flying did not involved doing things you could do while walking. Hence, it should be impossible to trip in mid-air. Yet somehow, that was exactly what she just did.
The dragoness hit the ground and let out a groan. Since when was grass so hard? She rolled to her feet and shook herself a little to reorientate which way was up, expecting to hear laughter anytime soon along with the question of asking whether she was alright. Yet when it didn't come, and she suddenly felt like something was very wrong, Cynder opened her eyes.
And stared a little. She’d never seen a place like this before. Not only that, it was a room, closed in. How was that possible? She'd just fallen from the sky while over an open plain. And somehow…teleported? This wasn't the valley of Avalar, that she knew. And it wasn't anywhere she'd ever seen before. Cynder had been over most of the world, in one way or another, and she didn't recognise this place. That was worrying.
"Hello? Spyro? Are you there?" The black dragon looked around, trying to spot her purple friend. "If this is a joke, it's not funny." Something felt really wrong about this place. Cynder had long since learned to trust her instincts about places like this. And this place felt like the Dark Master's stronghold, only a thousand times worse. It was bad. She needed to get out of here…
"Okay Cynder, focus. You're in a strange place that feels wrong. There're probably enemies around. So look around, carefully." She nodded to herself, taking stock of the room first. After trying the doorhandle on the big doors at the front and finding them locked, she decided to leave that alone and move onwards. There had to be someone here who could tell her what was going on, right?
