"I'm wicked. So what?"
There are certain little things I really like about Cynder, the snarky young dragon with a moyo of gold. In this article, I will talk about my three absolute favourite things about her.
Good alignment, evil qualities
This is actually becoming a zaidi and zaidi common thing in both gaming and film. wewe have a heroic character who is fighting alongside the other heroes, yet there's something sinister about them... almost as if they seem like they belong on the other side!
There is sometimes an explanation for this; in Cynder's case, she was raised to be evil but became good. Sometimes the role is played the other way around too - wewe may have a character on the side of evil, whose personality and abilities are typically "good". I tend to enjoy both versions, myself.
These types of characters are extra fun when they are controllable characters in video games, like Cynder is herself. There is something I really enjoy about playing as her, fighting alongside the other good guys, while her abilities and even some of her personality traits have "villain" written all over them.
Her dysfunctional friendship with Sparx
For some reason, I have always loved those "friends who actually don't get along very well" relationships between characters in media. They are not as straightforward as some friendships, nor are they the kind that always necessarily work out in reality. However, they have a certain undeniable charm.
Cynder and Sparx clash a number of times during cutscenes in the Legend trilogy. Both are friendly with Spyro, and if it wasn't for him being the link between the two, it's unlikely they would have ever shown any interest in each other. Sometimes the two appear hostile towards each other. Sparx teases Cynder numerous times about how dangerous she can be towards others. Cynder acts very snarky towards Sparx when he does something silly. Yep, not exactly two peas in a pod.
Even so, there is a hint of mutual respect between the two at the same time. Maybe this is partially because neither of them want to make Spyro feel uncomfortable, but in some cutscenes it is shown that they do seem to genuinely care for each other. wewe didn't hear it from me though - they will deny it!
Naturally wicked... and embracing it too
In many cutscenes throughout the Legend games, Cynder is shown regretting her dark past and being very apologetic about her actions. As viewers, we know that it's not really her fault and she shouldn't be ashamed. However, when wewe empathise with her wewe can see why it'd be a difficult thing for someone to deal with, knowing that even if wewe didn't mean to do it, wewe were responsible for a whole lot of evil!
Fortunately, DOTD relies on Cynder making the most out of her corrupt powers and using them to her advantage. So she has a bunch of evil abilities... it doesn't mean she can't use them for good! However, while she is not afraid to use her dark powers (and in some cutscenes, shows a bit of darkness in her personality e.g. when talking to Sparx), she is still ultimately ashamed of her dark side and wants to make amends for her past.
That's where Skylanders comes in! According to her bio in this series, Cynder is still striving to fight for what is right to make up for her past, but there's a twist. The writers of Skylanders decided to have a bit of fun with Cynder's personality, and in doing so made her embrace her evil side and develop her character into something menacing and dangerous! Cynder was always on the edgy side, but in Skylanders she is less regretful and has become prouder of who she is. She's still one of the good guys, but she's learned that she can be a hero without trying to change her personality. I know the Skylanders Cynder is not everyone's cup of tea, but I personally adore her.
So, there wewe have it! How about you? What are your favourite things about this devious little dragon? Feel free to share your thoughts in the maoni section!

wewe are dumb and stupid if wewe hate Cynder. She is not proud of the things she did for Malefor. That wasn't even her fault, that was Malefor who poisoned her to be like that. Cynder rocks wewe haters are just jealous of her because you're not as powerful au as pretty as her.
Dear Cynder fans,
Thankyou for accepting Cynder as who she is. She is cool like all of wewe Cynder fans. She is awesome, powerful, pretty, cute and so on. Her life was quite like mine. My old friend he was a bully. I saw him as good though and started to bully people for him. Then my new friend came along. She stopped me from doing all bad and now I don't bully anymore. I'm not proud of things I've done and if any of wewe people that I bullyed use this website Im sorry.
- Cynder rocks still
