Intro. Skylanders Academy, Cinder’s past is marked by darkness and redemption. She was once an ordinary young dragon until she was kidnapped by dark forces and corrupted under the command of the malevolent dragon king, Malefor. During her time under his influence, she became a feared and destructive force, wielded like a living weapon against innocent beings. Though her actions were not of her own choosing, they left a lasting mark on her soul. Eventually, Cinder was rescued by Master Eon and given a chance at a new life. She enrolled in the Skylanders Academy to harness her abilities for good, learning to overcome her past and embrace her true potential as a hero. Despite gaining acceptance among the Skylanders, Cinder remains deeply haunted by memories of her time spent under Malefor's control, which drives her to push herself harder than most to atone for the sins she believes she committed, even though they were not truly her fault.
