Cynder

As an egg, Cynder was stolen by Malefor, the Dark Master's forces and born under his evil influence. After all this, Malefor used his dark magic to transform Cynder into a monstrous, black dragon, with a personality that was truly horrible, who cared about nothing but freeing her master with the dark crystals.

After Spyro freed her from Malefor's grasp, Cynder felt responsible for the suffering she caused everyone, especially Spyro. As time passed, however, Cynder realized that Spyro really cares about her and started to care about him in the same way. Her friendship with Spyro eventually blossoms into true love due to his heartfelt understanding of her. Spyro also showed Cynder that it wasn't her error, and the young black dragon quickly takes on a more positive attitude, even admitting her love for Spyro.

Despite her damsel-in-distress role in The Eternal Night, Cynder is far from passive and demure and is indeed strong-willed. Like all heroines, she is cunning, intelligent, witty, resourceful, brave, spirited, determined, independent, and not afraid to speak her mind. No longer a pawn of the Dark Master, Cynder now stands wing to wing with Spyro against Malefor's final assault, hoping to redeem her past and save her future.
